Based in Darjeeling

Darjeeling Tour Operator

Himalayan Luxury Tours is a Darjeeling tour operator. We plan and run personalised holidays across Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Sikkim, North Bengal and the wider Himalayas, from our offices in Ghoom and Siliguri.

A local tour operator, not a booking portal

We are run by a woman entrepreneur from Darjeeling, who is also a GTA (Gorkhaland Territorial Administration) Tourism registered Heritage Guide. Our planning starts with local knowledge: which road is slow in the monsoon, which viewpoint is better at dawn, and which small places are worth an afternoon. Our registered office is on Gandhi Road, Ghoom, Darjeeling, and our operational office is at Masjid Para, near Pather Sathi, Bagdogra, Siliguri. That puts us close to Bagdogra airport and New Jalpaiguri station, where most journeys begin.

What we arrange

As a Darjeeling tour operator we handle the parts of a trip that are easy to get wrong from far away:

  • Pickups and transfers from Bagdogra (IXB) and New Jalpaiguri (NJP), with private vehicles and experienced drivers.
  • Stays chosen for character and setting, from heritage-style boutique properties to characterful homestays.
  • Local experiences: sunrise at Tiger Hill, heritage walks, tea estates, monasteries and village visits.
  • Permits and paperwork for Sikkim and other regulated areas, arranged through registered agents where required.
  • Support during the trip, with one point of contact before, during and after.

Where we operate

Our home ground is Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Sikkim. From there we also plan Meghalaya, Assam, Bhutan, Nepal, Ladakh, Kashmir, the Andaman Islands and Kolkata.

How we plan

Every journey starts with a conversation about your dates, pace and interests. The itineraries on this site are samples, shaped as relaxed tour options, and each can be lengthened, shortened or reshaped. If you are a travel agent or group organiser, see our travel trade page.
