Gangtok – The Capital of Sikkim, Irreverent, cheerful and pleasantly boisterous, Sikkim’s modern capital is layered along a precipitous mountain ridge, descending the hillside in steep tiers. Viewpoints survey plunging green valleys that remain beautiful even when partly shrouded in mist. If the weather plays ball, look for glimpses of snow-topped Khangchendzonga on the distant skyline. This downhill walk is designed to explore the city and bring out the rich cultural heritage and show how Gangtok has been able to modernize yet hold its charm.

Inclusions: Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea, All Fees and Taxes, Private transportation, Snacks

This is the first time I have come across this page and have booked their Homestay in Zuluk from 09/10/2019 to 11/10/2019 vide booking.comconfirmation no. 3188998404. The issue started before the travel even started. Instead of booking in October , the Reservation Manager have booked in September. The Host of Home Stay in Zuluk , Mr. Penjo Lama have confirmed that there are no bookings in my names on that dates. Inspite of an advance and a confirmed booking , now I am stranded with my family and friends with kids. Very unreliable .Except the Home Owner no one will pick up phones on Sundays. For a tourism industry there cannot be any Holidays as guests might face problems any day. I am unable to understand how this site is taking booking and advance on the same dates for two different persons. There is no grantee of your booking. Everything cannot be taken under the shelter of technical hitch. To a traveller what is important is reliability and word of mouth. I am not going to accept any alternative accommodation as i have already a confirmed booking thru booking.com.The question is reliablity which is alarming. THIS IS A FRAUD TRAVEL AGENCY WHO WILL TAKE MULTIPLE BOOKING FROM DIFFERENT CUSTOMERS , WILL TAKE ADVANCE AND THEN WILL NOT PROVIDE YOU THE BOOKING. MR. DIPESH AGARWAL IS A FRAUD WHO IS RUNNING THIS BUSINESS. To the Concerned parties who has booked thru Live away Homes ( thru Mr. Dipesh Agarwal ) Mandala homestay in Padamchen Zuluk from 09/10/2019 to 11/10/2019 should be aware that I have a confirmed booking on the same dates . Mr. Dipesh Agarwal of Live Away Homes along with Host of such Homestay ( Penjo Lama ) is taking bookings from different parties on the same dates and taking advances. No booking is a gurantee as this Travel Agent is a fraud,. Such Travel Agent is associated with booking. Com along with Reservation Manager Mr. DB Boarde. The party who has got bulk booking on the same dates be assured that such booking is invalid as I have necessary papers of that booking and advance Receipt Money Receipt with me. I HAVE PLANSTO TAKE POLICE TO THIS PROPERTY ON MY SCHEDULED DATES OF BOOKING AND SEE HOW MR. PENJO LAMA THE CARETAKER OF THIS HOMESTAY DENIES MY STAY.
