Nagaland & Darjeeling
India’s North East
Departs 21st November, 2017
NAGALAND & DARJEELING - INDIA’S NORTH EAST
Nagaland is one of the least explored regions of India. It’s rustic and raw, English is barely spoken
and the accommodation can at times be basic, but if experiencing unique culture first hand is your
thing, few places left on the planet match this region of India. In fact, nowhere in the world will you
experience anything like this. At the Hornbill Festival in India’s remote North East, sixteen local
tribes converge to showcase their culture and traditions. The
colours, the sounds, the music and dance, the region’s
natural beauty and the food will blow your mind. On this tour
you will see much of the surrounding countryside, villages,
towns and cities. You will interact with people who have had
limited contact with Europeans and look more Asian than
what we consider typical Indian. We will taste their food,
enjoy their music, see their amazing wares and come away
with an experience that will stick with you for the rest of your
life. The tour also takes us to the tea growing region of
Darjeeling and the foothills of the Himalayas, West Bengal. Dating back to the 1800’s, Darjeeling
was originally developed as a military base by the British. The UNESCO listed Darjeeling Himalayan
Railway is the first, and still most outstanding example of a hillside passenger railway. Opened in
1881, it applied bold and ingenious engineering solutions to the problem of establishing and
effective rail link across a mountainous terrain of great beauty. It is still fully operational and retains
most of its original features intact. The region’s views and natural beauty, at around 2,000 metres
above sea level, means you’d better pack spare memory cards for your camera!
Come join us on this three week spectacular adventure.

small and shift frequently. There are no chiefs. Each family

mountain peaks, with the Kanchendzonga rising higher than all
the others. Often referred to as the “Queen of the Hills”, it
remains just as alluring with its tiny waterfalls, little villages and
a narrow gauge railway track. Surrounded by world famous tea

gardens and snow capped mountains, Darjeeling remains one

DAY 17, Thursday 7th Dec
DARJEELING
Today starts with an early morning visit to Tiger Hill and Ghoom
Monastery. It is 13 kms from Darjeeling and, weather
permitting, one can see the beautiful sunrise and Himalayan
Range - Kanchandzonga and Mount Everest. Watch the
horizon changing colours just before sunrise and then the
entire Himalayan range turn golden. It is truly a majestic sight.
Breakfast back at the hotel, then you’ll enjoy the famous toy
train ride. The spectacular landscape unfolds as the 2-foot
gauge Darjeeling Himalayan railway, opened in 1881, labours
at about 10 mph criss-crossing the road. It has tiny 4-wheel
locomotives - some over 100 years old. Experience the sound,
smell and romance of a bygone era. In the afternoon, we’ll

with a spectacular view of Gangtok town. Built in 1910 on the
site of the hermitage of the great tantric saint, Lama Drutob
Karpo, who was renowned for his powers of levitation, this

Tibetan Buddhism. Overnight at the Hotel Norkhill. B/D

GANGTOK – KALIMPONG
Breakfast at the hotel and then we drive to Kalimpong
approximately 80kms – a 3 hours drive. At an altitude of
1250m, Kalimpong’s location is ideal for a pleasant, relaxed
getaway. Its clement weather has made Kalimpong’s orchids
and gladiole well renowned. Up to the early 1700s, the
Kalimpong area was part of the Sikkim raja’s domain. In the
early 18th century, the Bhutan king also took it over. In 1865,
after the Anglo-Bhutan War, it was annexed to Darjeeling.
Scottish missionaries came here in the late 1800s. The town
thrived as a wool trading centre with Tibet until the1950s.

BLUE DOT TRAVEL TERMS AND CONDITIONS January 2017
By making a booking and paying your deposit you accept the following
booking terms and conditions.
A. BOOKING CONDITIONS
1. How to Book
To secure your place on a tour, a deposit and completed booking form
should be sent to Blue Dot Travel. Balance of payment becomes due
60 days prior to departure. If the balance is not paid by the due date,
we may regard the booking as cancelled. If flights are not booked on a
group fare basis, then full payment for flights will be due within 7 days
of booking. On occasions, you may be asked to pay for certain aspects
of the tour within 7 days of booking. An example may be a river cruise
within our overall program.
A booking may be accepted on a share room basis on the condition
that the person requesting the share reservation agrees that we accept
no responsibility for any incompatibility between the persons sharing
and no guarantee is given that a share room will be available. If not
available, at the time of final payment you agree to pay the single
supplement.
If you choose to pay a single supplement for a tour and on an occasion
due to non availability, a single room cannot be provided, a refund will
be made for any night that a single room was not available.
2. Tour Cancellations
Cancellation must be notified in writing to our office. If cancellation is
received more than 60 days prior to departure, the deposit will be
forfeited. If cancellation takes place between 60 days and 31 days
before departure a fee of 50% of the total booking cost will be charged.
If 30 days or less remain before departure 100% of the tour cost will be
charged. [Depending on the reason for cancellation, these charges
may be recoverable under your travel insurance policy]. If less than 10
people are booked on any tour, the trip may proceed without a host
accompanying the group. This will be at the discretion of Blue Dot
Travel. An in-country guide will still be provided in these
circumstances. Should there be too few people booked for any tour,
we reserve the right to cancel that tour no later than 60 days before
scheduled departure. In this event, a full refund will be made, and Blue
Dot Travel will not be liable for any claims made or any additional
costs incurred by you. Upon commencement of the trip, no refunds will
be made for any reason, for unused section(s). If Blue Dot Travel
deems it to be appropriate to cancel any tour due to factors beyond its
control, such as civil unrest, natural disaster or other emergencies in
the areas to be visited, in the period just prior to departure when Client
Trust funds have, or could reasonably be expected to have been
expended on purchasing elements of the tour, i.e. domestic and
international flights, hotel accommodation among other things, then
Blue Dot Travel will refund all monies that can be recovered from the
recipients of those expenses, without entering into any legal dispute,
this being the limit of its obligations.
Blue Dot Travel is obliged to cancel a tour if the Australian Department
of Foreign Affairs & Trade issue a travel warning stating Do Not Travel.
3. Compulsory Travel Insurance
Personal travel insurance is not included in the tour price. Every effort
is made to ensure the safety of all participants, however, we insist
that you take out a personal travel Insurance policy as a
condition of us accepting you on the tour. Each traveller is
responsible for ensuring they have the correct level of cover for their
individual circumstances.
It is the traveller’s responsibility to check that your insurance policy
(especially those offered by your credit card company) covers you
comprehensively for the entirety of the tour you have booked on.
Your travel insurance must be in place before airline bookings are
made. In the event of cancellation after flights have been booked, any
airfares paid by Blue Dot Travel may be forfeited. You may be entitled
to a refund of some or all the airfare depending on the airline’s
cancellation policy, or you may be able to claim this on your travel
insurance.

such changes prior to departure, however we accept no
responsibility for any alterations made for any reason, or for any
associated loss or damage. If any additional expenses are incurred
through delays, accidents, or disruption of planned itineraries
because of force majeure or if it considered advisable by our
principals, such expenses are to be borne by you. It is possible that
a route change could be necessary due to inclement weather,
political restrictions or any other cause. Route changes will always
be at the discretion of the group leader and the responsible agency.
