We have just completed the Darjeeling Singalila ridge trek organised by Ashmita Trek and Tours. It was a fantastic experience, we had very clear views of the mountain ranges of Kangchenjunga and Everest. The organisation of the Trek was superb, all permits and passes were in order which led to a very smooth experience in that regard. All bookings for accommodation went well, food was simple, plentiful and good quality, local and organic. Our guide, Dawa, went over and above ... continue reading

We did the Sandakphu Offbeat Trek. It was a memorable and gratifying experience. The trip was well organized. Our guide Tenzing was very attentive to our needs and abilities. He was thoughtful, and knowledgeable about the plant and wildlife as well as about the local culture. We appreciated his encouragement, kindness and sense of humour. The Ashmita office was helpful in mapping out the trek, answering all our questions with detail and patience. We would highly recommend Ashmita and Tenzing. continue reading

I am Dominique from Spain. I travelled recently to Darjeeling and Sikkim with a French friend. We contacted Ashmita Trek to organize our 4 days trek in Singalila and 8 days trek in Sikkim. We had a great time. Nature was so beautiful even cloudy. Everything went perfectly. We had a wonderful guide, Sangay, so helpful and friendly. Always looking after us, and telling us interesting stories about Tibetan culture. The food in the homestays was good….tea whenever we wanted. ... continue reading

My partner and I were guided on the Singalila Ridge Trek by Ashmita Trek and Tours in February 2023. I can honestly say that it was one of the best experiences we have ever had. We booked at the Ashmita Trek office in Darjeeling and were assisted by the extremely helpful Norbu who explained all of the trek details. Once we booked the Trek, Subash, the General Manager of Ashmita contacted us to check if we had any further queries ... continue reading

We trekked the Singalila Ridge with Ashmita Tours. Subash was very helpful when arranging, squashing the trek into 5 instead of 6 days to suit our itinerary, sorted secure storage for our extra baggage in their offices in Darjeeling whilst we were trekking and helping with the arrangements for our onward travel.We had an excellent guide, Dawa Lama who had extensive knowledge of the route, along with the local flora & fauna! He was very interesting to talk to and ... continue reading

Ashmita Tours was excellent from start to finish. We booked our trip by phone before arriving in darjeeling and it was made bespoke to our requests - cutting it down to 5 days and leaving early on the final day to get to our accommodation. Dawa Lama was our guide and was very attentive, always checking in that we were happy and comfortable. We learnt a lot from him about the trek but also generally the West Bengal culture. I ... continue reading

Best decision ever!!! I am an Australian woman who was travelling solo in India. I booked a one-week Customised Private Tour with Ashmita Trek & Tours with a cultural focus on Darjeeling (West Bengal) and Gangtok (Sikkim). Ashmita’s service was impeccable from start to finish.The Manager, Mr Norbu Lama, responded very promptly to my initial email request and to my responses; their Quote was very competitive i.e. a local Travel Agent in Australia quoted me a price that was approx. ... continue reading

We used Ashmita Trek & Tours during our recent visit to Darjeeling. Everything was arranged very well and professionally. From the taxi service from Bagdogra airport to the bike tour and the day trek to Tonglu, our whole experience was great. Special call out to Mr Tenzing our guide and Mr Bhudda our driver who were both very experienced, happy to share their knowledge of the local area, and more importantly trustworthy. Very happy to recommend Ashmita Trek and Tours ... continue reading
