Darjeeling in one day - Subash was an amazing guide. Even with bad weather we were able to see everything and enjoy every part of the day, with anecdotes and interesting facts, and also his contagious happiness! The tour is very full of different experiences, and also some places that you would never find alone. The day flew by very quickly, and we were all truly satisfied by every aspect of it. And in the end the best surprise, a panoramic hike with the best view ever! Highly recommended!
