North Sikkim

The mountains of North Sikkim are the most pristine and untouched tropical forest of India. You feel like you have traveled back into time !

Day 1

The most popular & convenient train to reach NJP is Darjeeling Mail. There are several trains between Sealdah & NJP, but for me Darjeeling Mail timing seems to be perfect. You board the train at night & the next day early morning you are at NJP.
