What travelers most often ask us before a trip to India & Sikkim.
As Sikkim and Darjeeling Border with Nepal, China Bhutan and close-by to Bangladesh. How safe is it?
Sikkim is the safest state in India.As there had been no record of political turmoil, anti social or anti national activities even though it shares border with Nepal, China & Bhutan. On other hand, Darjeeling had seen some internal
political turmoil in past, but tourists were never bothered on these grounds. Now, things are much better from tourism perspective and back to normal even after Covid lockdown.
Is it mandatory to hire local English speaking guide if I book one of your tour for Indian Tourists? Do the drivers speak Hindi in Darjeeling and Sikkim?
No, hiring guide on tour for Domestic Indian Tourist is totally on their own preference. As your driver will be communicating with you in Hindi, he can easily provide you all the information which you want to know.However we recommend to have a guide for they are well trained in their trade, linguists and indept local knowledge.
