About Guide2Travels
Guide2Travels started as an English-language guide to Sikkim and has grown to cover the wider Darjeeling and Northeast India hill region. We focus on two things: helping you plan the trip (when to go, permits, how to get around) and helping you choose where to stay, area by area rather than a generic top-10 list.
