Overview

Darjeeling tour packages under 15000 for couple from kolkata

Let’s be brutally honest first: ?15,000 for a couple from Kolkata is a tight budget for Darjeeling if you expect luxury. You won’t get premium hotels, private luxury cars, or fancy candlelight setups. What you will get—if planned smartly—is a clean stay, shared transfers, core sightseeing, and a genuinely romantic hill experience without getting ripped off by agents.

Below is a realistic, market-beating, no-BS package that actually works in this budget.

• Best Season: Feb–June & Sept–Dec

• Total Cost: ?13,999 – ?14,999 (for 2 persons)

 

How You Travel from Kolkata (Reality Check)

• Train (Recommended):
  Kolkata → NJP (overnight train, sleeper/3AC)
