A must do tour

Elaine_M, Feb 2026

Great guide Ankit. We learnt so much about the past and present history of Darjeeling. It was fascinating hearing from a local person. We had lunch and our tour ended up being 3 1/2hrs. A must do tour if you're in Darjeeling

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Elaine, We are delighted to learn that you had a great experience with Ankit :) Do come back and join us again! Best wishes, Anirban and team

An interesting tour of past events

The historical aspect of. British tea development and the comparison with Simla. The former commercial lively and busy, the latter retaining Surrey in the Himalayas. The locals didn’t want Brits to go fearing China: the Tibetans came as refugees. Gymkhana club preserved Empire in Victorian Brown paint and very welcoming. To reinforce the history we met at the Oxford Bookstore!
