Hi My girlfriend and I are heading to Darjeeling in January and we want to go trekking for a week plus 2-3 days to relax and observe the beauty of the mountains with comfort. I have been to India before but it is the first time for my girlfriend so she doesn't know how things go here and I really want to avoid endless bargains while I am with her. So what I need from community is: 1. Please recommend any clean and comfortable hotel to stay 2. Recommendations for treks 3. If you know any good and reliable guide and driver Thanks in advance

Tonglu & Tumling - One day trek 2. Tumling - One day trek 3. Tiger Hill Summit - One day trek 4. Sandakphu - Two to three days trek I would recommend you contact a tour operator in Darjeeling for treks, who would organize everything for you, a recommendation for tour operators who deal in treks is Ashmita Trek and Tours. They would also provide you with a guide and driver.
