About The Far East North India Tour

This is a journey like no other, a cultural exploration in the heart and soul of East India. Travelling in a well organised group, the aim of our journey is to take you on an adventure to some of the least visited, culturally and spiritually rich areas of the North East India. This is also a slower paced journey with us spending more time in each area to immerse ourselves completely. Less rushing and more time to enjoy in depth all the great destinations.

Tour Highlights – 3 Main regions – West Bengal – Odisha – Darjeeling – Varanasi – Delhi

Kolkata – The Soul of West Bengal Kolkata, the cultural heart of West Bengal, pulses with history, spirit, and creativity. Known as the “City of Joy,” it is a place where the sacred and the everyday intertwine, where quiet temples and stand alongside colonial architecture, bustling markets, and streets alive with poetry, music, and art. Odisha – The Land of the Sun Temple Nestled along the eastern coastline of India, the state of Odisha (formerly Orissa) is a land where spirituality, art, and natural beauty flow together in harmony. Unlike the more well-trodden paths of India’s northern circuits, Odisha offers a quieter, more soulful journey—perfect for seekers, yogis, and travellers drawn to deeper connection. Darjeeling – Himalaya – Delhi We continue on our path next to the mighty foothills of the Himalaya, to the famous Tea making plantations of Darjeeling, home to the former British Raj.  After feeling rejuvenated with the mountain air,  we head back south to the Holy City of Varanasi on the Ganges River.  We will be finish our incredible journey in India’s capital of Delhi
