Dayswise Detailed Itinerary
DAY 1 : DAY 1: NJP TO RAMDHURA
This is the first halt for your 3N 4D Silk Route Tour Package from Siliguri/NJP. Ramdhura is a quaint hamlet on the edge of the mountains, near Kalimpong. It is around seven to eight kilometres from Delo in Kalimopong. The hamlet is winning hearts of the Silk Route Travellers by offering a stunning view of the Mt. Kanchenjungha and the Teesta River which is flowing beneath the majestic green valley. The name Ramdhura is a combination of Ram (of Ramayana) and Dhura, which means village. The village is situated at a great height, above a dense forest of pine and other hilly trees and offers absolute tranquillity, which many vacationers look for. Being a small, underdeveloped village, Ramdhura may not provide you with luxurious accommodations and amenities, but one you reach the there, perhaps those luxuries will not mean much to you, since Ramdhura will delight you with its natural treasures by that time. After reaching Ramdhura, have your lunch, later you can visit for a lovely sightseeing tour covering stunning sites in the vicinity like Icchey Gaon, Sillery Gaon, Pedong, Delo, Kalimpong, Lava and Loleygaon. There are not much tourist attractions in and around Ramdhura, except the Delo Nature Park, Durpin Dara Monastery, Hanuman Tok viewpoint and Mahaev Dham Temple, but that is unlikely to disappoint you since there is endless scope to explore Mother Nature around. What will certainly impress you is Ramitey Dara view point where you will enjoy the longest view of the emerald green water of Teesta and the Valley of Silence. Night stay at the Homestay at Ramdhura.
