Darjeeling Tours for the very best of Indian Hill Railways and more! We offer a range of escorted tours and add-ons to all of our itineraries so you can visit other parts of India, such as the amazing Taj Mahal or Kerala’s backwaters. In India, April to June is unpleasantly hot (on the plains) and July to September is the monsoon season, which explains our dates for Indian tours. We also have a tour to Colorado in the States, where magical things seem to happen!
The itineraries are available on this site for perusal or download, or please let us know if you would like us to mail you a paper copy.
These tours are our holidays as well, so of course we do everything possible to ensure that we, as well as you, have a really good time! Not just railway tours! Our tours not not only serve an enthusiast's perspective but also offer a deep & rich insight into the local region! Railways have been and are part of life, so offering a holistic approach to like no other!
