Summary
From colonial Kolkata and tea-scented Darjeeling to sacred monasteries and mountain passes, discover a different side of India and uncover the spiritual serenity of Bhutan.
Step into a world of contrasts on this unique journey through Eastern India and Bhutan. Begin in Kolkata, where the legacy of British India and colourful street life combine to create a feast for the senses. Then enjoy a taste of Himalayan charm, as we ascend to Darjeeling, visiting tea estates and riding on the UNESCO-listed Toy Train.
