Overview

Darjeeling holds onto ancestries of rich Colonial, Lepcha, Tibetan, Bhutanese, tribal, and multi-cultural heritage, cultures. Its skilled ethnicities and geographical location served the British the Summer Capital, which they dreamt of living in during their rule in India. Today's Darjeeling, lying in the romantic valleys of the beautiful Eastern Himalayas presents you with a cosmopolitan mix like no other hill town in India. Its serene natural beauty combined with its lovely, welcoming, and warm people make you nostalgic every time you step in.

We have been to Darjeeling many times previously. But, we really got the real 'taste' of the place with Anirban and Darjeeling Walks, while we meandered through the streets of the city, immersed in it’s intricate stories during the Heritage Walk.. An experience much recommended!

Great introduction to the region of Darjeeling; Warm & caring team!

Published on Jun, 2024

When you travel to a new place, I believe the best takeaway you can have are interactions with people who are passionate about the history, & future, of the place. That is exactly what you get with the folks at Darjeeling Walks. We had the pleasure of interacting with Anirban and meeting with Sunny. It was a fantastic experience! We spent a great morning travelling around with Sunny - his caring attitude & passion for the region only matched by his photography skills :) Also, gratitude to them to be able to make changes to the itinerary to suit us, since we were travelling with an infant.
