Darjeeling holds onto ancestries of rich Colonial, Lepcha, Tibetan, Bhutanese, tribal, and multi-cultural heritage, cultures. Its skilled ethnicities and geographical location served the British the Summer Capital, which they dreamt of living in during their rule in India. Today's Darjeeling, lying in the romantic valleys of the beautiful Eastern Himalayas presents you with a cosmopolitan mix like no other hill town in India. Its serene natural beauty combined with its lovely, welcoming, and warm people make you nostalgic every time you step in. Our tours will make you experience the saga of its heydays and the best of nature's wonders that once made the British call it the Queen of the Hills.

Immersive and Rich Experience!
A R,Apr 4, 2026

5.00I would highly recommend Darjeeling Walks for anyone who hopes to get an immersive experience where you get to explore different aspects of the city, its history and its evolution. I had the privilege to take two walks with DW, the Summer Capital and the Culture Shock. Both walks were rich in their experience, where we walked up and down winding roads of the city to uncover a lot of its lesser known treasures, and our guide Ankit with his rich knowledge of the context was able to weave a cohesive narrative, making it a memorable experience! Highly recommended and cannot wait to come back for more walks with Darjeeling Walks!
Informative and enjoyable walk

5.00Had an amazing tour with Sunny. This was our first time in Darjeeling and he had so much to share with us. We were running late and he was kind and accommodating. Darjeeling has incredible history and he brought it to life.
Memorable Tour of Darjeeling

5.00I had an amazing experience exploring Darjeeling with Ankit. As a local, his knowledge of the town’s history is extensive and deeply insightful. Even though it was a Sunday and several sites were closed, Ankit went above and beyond to compensate. He provided incredible detail and patiently answered every single question I had. I'm also quite happy with the food selected for tasting, unique and yum :) The tour was originally slated for 2–3 hours, but Ankit generously extended the time to ensure I had a complete experience. I highly appreciate the organizers for proceeding with the walk even though I was the only attendee. It’s rare to find that level of commitment to customer satisfaction. Truly worth every penny—I’ll definitely be booking their other tours when I return!
Sunrise in the Himalayas

5.00Rab Rai was an amazing guide and good companion. From sunrise on Tiger Hill to the toy train, he imparted his extensive knowledge with clarity and conciseness. He is also a very good artist with great pictures of the landscape and the trains. He was a good companion as we navigated Darjeeling, stepping out of tourist activities to meet friends of friends and speak at St Paul’s School.
Awesome
