These months offer clear skies which are ideal for sightseeing. Monsoon months, from June to September, bring rain which makes the hills look fresh and green. But occasional rains may affect travel plans. Winter, from October to December, is one of the best times to visit Darjeeling and Sikkim. The weather is cool and mountain views are clear and stunning.

Our 4th Trip with TraEminent Travel Agency – A Wonderful 15-Night, 16-Day Journey Across India ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended by a Couple from Malaysia! We are a couple from Malaysia, and this was our 4th trip with TraEminent Travel Agency. Having travelled with them several times, we are delighted to share our positive experience of our latest 15-night, 16-day customised journey through India. Our journey began in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and took us through Amritsar, Bathinda, Anandpur Sahib, Manikaran Sahib, Manali, Shimla and Chandigarh, before ending in Delhi, followed by our return flight to Kuala Lumpur. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Mdm. Shivani, Sales Manager, and her entire team, for organising our ground arrangements so smoothly from the beginning to the end of our journey. This time, we were very pleased with the overall arrangements. The hotels, breakfasts and dinners were good, and our driver provided excellent service throughout the trip. His professionalism, safe driving, helpfulness and friendly attitude made our journey comfortable and enjoyable. Most importantly, we managed to cover almost 99% of our customised itinerary, just as we had planned. Considering the long distances between destinations and the time required for travelling, we were very happy with how the itinerary was managed. A special thank you to Mdm. Shivani for her experience, patience, friendly approach and attention to detail. She listened carefully to what we wanted to see and experience, provided useful recommendations and helped arrange the journey according to our interests. Her support gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout the planning process. For us, a successful holiday is not only about visiting beautiful places. It is also about having a reliable travel manager, comfortable accommodation, good meals, an excellent driver, proper coordination and, above all, safety and trust. We appreciate the effort made by Mdm. Shivani and her team to deliver these important aspects of our trip. Our recommendation to fellow Malaysians To our Malaysian friends and anyone planning a trip to India, we would strongly recommend considering TraEminent Travel Agency. Our advice is to contact Mdm. Shivani directly and explain clearly what you would like to see, which places you wish to visit, your preferred travel dates and your budget. Share your interests and ask her to recommend other places worth visiting along your route. Her experience and suggestions can help you develop a customised itinerary that suits your needs. We particularly appreciate her friendly manner, experience, reliability and commitment to arranging a trip with safety in mind. Good communication and trust are important when travelling in a country as vast as India, especially when covering long distances. This was our fourth journey with TraEminent, and we are grateful to Mdm. Shivani and the entire team for their hard work and support in making this latest trip a smooth, comfortable and memorable experience. Thank you, Mdm. Shivani and the TraEminent team, for taking good care of our journey from start to finish. We wish the company continued success, and we would be happy to recommend your services to our family members, relatives and friends in Malaysia who are planning their next holiday in India.
