Posted: October 11, 2018 |
Here I am answering to viewers who plan to make a short trip to Darjeeling at a budget price that includes accommodation, food, transports, and sightseeing tours. Over time, Darjeeling has been developed into a tourist destination and now it attracts a great number of tourists around the year due to its splendid beauty. So, if you want to fully optimize your trip on cost, then I recommend you to visit Darjeeling during the offseason. July 1st week to September 1st week is the best time for a cheap vacation in Darjeeling. You can get hotel rooms at a much lesser price at this time. Follow the guidelines below for the cheapest way to tour Darjeeling which includes hotel stay, food, transport, sightseeing tours etc. Depending on where you are coming from, you need to reach NJP or Siliguri first and then proceed to Darjeeling by cab. Try not to waste your time at Siliguri while waiting for a bus. Reach Darjeeling and stay there overnight in any hotel. On a low tourist season, you can find some cheap hotels here and negotiate the rates. Next day after your morning breakfast proceed for Darjeeling local sightseeing and visit some beautiful places like Tiger hill, Batashia loop, Ghoom monastery, Art gallery, Tea garden, Darjeeling zoo, Himalayan mountaineering institute etc. If you are planning to see plenty of local sightseeing, always contact a local tour operator who is not only knowledgeable about the places but will also be reasonable in price. Also. look for some quality but cheap eateries. There are plenty of food options available in Darjeeling at cheap prices like Momos, Churpi, Thukpa, Alu Dum. Traditional Nepali Thali etc. Next day try to spend some time at the Chowrasta Mall and take a walk along the Mall Road, you will get a delightful view of Kanchenjunga from some of the viewpoints facing the snow range. You can also go down to Chowk Bazaar at the lower level for shopping. This is a wholesale market for all kinds of goods including clothes, gift & mementos, bags & shoes, woolens etc and the cost of these items is really very less. On the final day after early lunch, take a shared jeep or bus from Chowk Bazaar and turns back to Siliguri. It will save your money a lot. Then from NJP, board train for your onward journey with happy memories to cherish.
