Plan before you ask us
Trip tools
Four small tools we use at the Gangtok desk every day: where to go this month, what a trip really costs, which permits you need, and how high each night of a package sleeps.

Each one works in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us unless you ask for a quote.
Season finder
Choose a month and a district. See which places are at their best, which are good, and which to leave for another time.
Trip cost calculator
Nights, travellers, comfort level, shared jeep or private car. Get an itemised range for rooms, transport, permits and meals.
Permit checker
Indian or foreign national? Tick the places you want to see and get a plain verdict for each: allowed, allowed with conditions, or not allowed.
Altitude check
Choose any of our packages to see its height profile night by night, with big jumps flagged and plain advice on acclimatising.

The pages behind the tools
Tools give planning estimates and general rules. Permits, fees, road openings and prices change, sometimes at a day's notice: check current status before you travel.
