We can say Sikkim is beautiful but a tour can become miserable if the stay and travel is messed up.Travelling all the way from Pune,I got in touch with Mr Suman Mukherjee,Business head of Sai Kripa Group via the net and he did the rest.He first arranged our stay at Hotel Garuda in Darjeeling and the rest of our vacation at Sikkim were at his Hotels.Mr Suman took care of all the hotel bookings,vegetarian food,sightseeings in all places and all other road travels in Darjeeling & Sikkim.Till the tour started I was a little apprehensive as along with my family consisting of my wife and 2 kids,my nephew with his wife & 2 kids and also my cousin from chennai with her husband were also with us.But everything worked out beautifully thanks to Mr Suman & his staff who treated us so well.The Rooms at Sai Kripa - Gangtok are well furnished,bright,clean and clean toilets.Inspite of odd tour operators in Gangtok we were provided proper transport every day and we covered East Sikkim ie Gangtok,North Sikkim - Lachung and via South Sikkim went to Pelling ie West Sikkim.At Lachung we were put up at their Hotel - Tashi Yangkhil which was very cosy & comforatble.At Pelling we stayed again in their Hotel Rabdentse Residency which was really very good.
The food in all the places were tasty and simple.We were also asked and food was was made as per our requirement.
The high point of our tour was a tour to Nathula pass (China border) at 14600 ft from Gangtok at a distance of 56 km.This trip requires permission from the tourism Dept and all this was arranged by Mr Suman.
So we had no hassles and we were totally taken care of by the Sai Kripa group.Special mentions should go to the staff esp Mrs Suman, Mr Chakraborthy & Mr Partho at Gangtok.Staff at Lachung and at Pelling.
Thanks again to Mr Suman & his group to make our trip to Sikkim most memorable.Will definately recommend people to be in touch with him to take of their travel needs.
