Best Season
October–May is workable; October–December and March–May are best for clear views. Winter is very cold — budget travellers should carry proper woollens.

Package Overview

Not everyone travelling to the hills wants — or can afford — a private SUV and a heritage homestay. Built for the traveller with a backpack, a limited budget, and zero interest in missing out because of it: Darjeeling, Lepchajagat and Mirik, covered efficiently, staying in the same quality of homestay as every other MBTS package, without the premium add-ons.

Package Highlights

Darjeeling Mall Road & Chowrasta
Sukhiapokhri Viewpoint
Lepchajagat Forest Trail
Mirik Lake
Gopaldhara Viewpoint (drive-by)
Bokar Monastery

Day-by-Day Itinerary (4 days)

1
Private/Shared Cab

Places to Visit: Ghum Monastery, Mall Road, Chowrasta. A no-frills but complete first day—the climb into Darjeeling, a stop at Ghum Monastery, and an evening walk down Mall Road to Chowrasta. Settle into your Darjeeling homestay for a dinner that costs a fraction of what a hotel restaurant would charge for the same quality of food.

Overnight stay: Homestay — Darjeeling
2
Private/Shared Cab

Places to Visit: Sukhiapokhri viewpoint, Lepchajagat forest trail. A short transfer brings you to Sukhiapokhri viewpoint for a genuinely restful morning, followed by a walk along the Lepchajagat forest trail. There are no entry fees and no crowds here, just pine trees and a homestay host happy to share the day’s stories over dinner.

Overnight stay: Homestay — Lepchajagat
3
Private/Shared Cab

Places to Visit: Gopaldhara viewpoint (drive-by), Mirik Lake, Bokar Monastery. The drive to Mirik passes the Gopaldhara viewpoint before bringing you to the lakeside calm of Mirik Lake and the nearby Bokar Monastery. A boat ride if your budget allows, or a lakeside walk if it doesn’t—either way, it costs you nothing but time.

Overnight stay: Homestay — Mirik
4
Private/Shared Cab

Places to Visit: Roadside tea garden stop. A relaxed drive back to the plains, with a final stop at a roadside tea garden. Three hill towns, three homestay families, and a budget that never once got in the way of the experience.

Overnight stay: N/A (Departure)
