7 Days | Kolkata · Darjeeling · Sundarbans | From $800 per person
East India is one of the country's least-visited and most rewarding regions — a world of colonial architecture, rolling tea gardens, vibrant arts and remarkable biodiversity. This 7-day odyssey takes you from the grandeur of Kolkata — once the capital of British India — to the mist-shrouded tea gardens of Darjeeling and the UNESCO-listed mangrove forests of the Sundarbans.
Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) is India's intellectual and artistic capital — home to Nobel laureates, literary giants and the most vibrant street art scene in Asia. Darjeeling is India's most famous tea destination, with breathtaking views of the Kanchenjunga glacier from Tiger Hill. And the Sundarbans — the world's largest mangrove delta — is home to the magnificent Royal Bengal Tiger and unique biodiversity.
