A Darjeeling team that plans the trips it would take itself.
Shingolia Hills plans journeys across Darjeeling, Sikkim, Sandakphu and the Dooars.
We work with ridge homestays, tea estate bungalows and local drivers we have known for years, so the trip runs the way it should even when the weather changes.
Ask us anything on WhatsApp before you book. A real person answers.

Before you book
Ask about altitude, permits or the best month for your group. Our Darjeeling team replies, usually the same day.
Send a questionDo you run shared or private trips?
Most trips run privately for your own group. Shared departures are kept small so everyone fits in one or two vehicles.
Where do trips start?
Almost every trip starts and ends at NJP railway station or Bagdogra airport. We can pick you up from Siliguri or Darjeeling too.
Do you arrange permits?
Yes. Send us your ID copies and passport photos before arrival and we arrange the park, inner line and protected area permits.
What is the best time to go?
October to December for clear mountain views, March to May for rhododendrons. Each trip page lists its own best season.
Is it suitable for children or older parents?
The Land Rover and road trips need no trekking. Tell us who is travelling and we will suggest the right pace and altitude.
Can you plan around our own list of places?
Yes. Pick the places you want and we will put the route, stays and price together for you.
