Mr Saikat Das helped organize our trip to Bhutan with land package as well as hotel accommodation for 8N/9D including the complete transport from Bagdora to Bhutan and back, including all transfers within Bhutan (Paro and Thimpu). The planning and execution was flawlessly implemented along with reasonable rates. Overall we were all very happy with the arrangements done by Mr Saikat and his team. Looking forward to more such trips with Navigator in the future. Keep up the good work, and all the very best.

Navigator India came to my attention while searching the web for a local tour operator for Sikkim and Bhutan. The Tour operator is based in Siliguri and it was a pleasure dealing with Mr. Saikat Das. He is professional, transparent and was always available. He appreciated when we complimented him on the good service at many chosen hotels and by transporters, while also pointing out few shortcomings so that he can improve in future. Overall, my wife and I had a great private tour starting and ending at Bagdogra airport. We visited Darjeeling, Sikkim and Bhutan within a span of two weeks in March 2019. Tsomgo Lake, North Sikkim etc are really stunning. We were sad we could not reach Nathula Pass and Yumthang Valley because of snow fall. Hope to return some day. We are happy that we found Saikat and have no hesitation in recommending him to our friends and acquaintances. Wish Saikat and Navigator India the Very Best.
