They know so much about the local area and will really make your time in Darjeeling the best it can be. Karma, the owner, is especially helpful, if you're heading to Sikkim after Darjeeling, he has detailed recommendations based off his love for the area, he even went as far to sit down and make me a map of everywhere I should go and how I should get to each place, and phone numbers that might be useful to me along the way. All in all, it was a great and really personable experience, which also seems to draw in lovely customers!!
