Darjeeling has tea estates, the toy train and heritage hotels. Gangtok is the base for Tsomgo Lake and North Sikkim, which need permits. Many families do both over five or six nights from Bagdogra.

Yes. We suggest the train or a flight to Bhubaneswar to keep the journey short, a sea-facing hotel with a lift, and a car for the temple and Konark. Share ages and mobility needs when you ask.
