     Rated : 4.0

    Tour was very planned and executed. Sikkim was a very clean and had a very nice experience. All permits were taken in time and cars were arranged. We had requested for a hotel change on Day 5, but there was no response received in time and had to book it out of our pocket. Generally, decent hotels to stay, except that for the hotel in Dargeeling (Vaishali) was pathetic. Rest of the trip was great and a must visit place.
