information!

Pack layered woolens, thermal innerwear, windproof jackets, and a warm cap, as temperatures drop significantly, especially during the early morning Tiger Hill excursion. Bring sturdy walking shoes for navigating the steep, cobblestone paths of Darjeeling. Carry essential moisturizers, sunscreen, and personal medications, including motion sickness tablets for the winding hill roads. While digital payments are widely accepted, carrying some cash is recommended for local border markets. Stay hydrated and walk at a moderate pace to easily adjust to the high-altitude environment.
