Why travellers choose us

We know these hills
better than anyone

🏔️

Born and raised here

Our team grew up in Darjeeling. We know which homestay faces Kanchenjunga at sunrise, which forest path has the best bird sightings, and which dhaba serves the best momos on the hill. No tour operator from a city can offer that.

🚗

Always private transport

We never put you in a shared cab or a tourist bus. Every transfer and sightseeing trip is in a private vehicle with a local driver who speaks Hindi and Bengali. Your itinerary, your pace — no waiting for strangers.

📞

24/7 WhatsApp support

When you're at Bagdogra Airport at 11pm and your hotel hasn't confirmed, you need someone who picks up the phone. We do. Our team is available round the clock throughout your trip — not just during booking.

💰

What you see is what you pay

Our prices are all-in for the listed inclusions. No surprise "peak season supplement", no hidden driver charges, no mandatory tip structures. Extra person and child rates are listed upfront on every package.

🏠

Vetted local stays

We personally inspect every homestay and hotel in our portfolio. The wooden cabin in Chatakpur, the Kanchenjunga-view loft in Dali, the river cottage in Jamuni Valley — we've slept in all of them before recommending them to you.

🎯

Fully customisable

Our packages are a starting point, not a constraint. Want to add paragliding in Kalimpong? Swap a night from Darjeeling to Chatakpur? Build a 5-night offbeat circuit? WhatsApp us — we'll build your exact itinerary.

What our travellers say

Real people, real trips

★★★★★

"The Chatakpur forest homestay was beyond anything we expected. Waking up at 7,000 feet with Kanchenjunga filling the entire window — we didn't want to leave. Numa's driver Bijay was exceptional."

★★★★★

"We were a group of 8 friends and Numa handled everything perfectly — two cars, coordinated hotel check-ins, a bonfire at Chatakpur. Not a single hiccup in 5 days. Will definitely book again for Dooars next year."

★★★★★

"Tiger Hill sunrise, the toy train viewpoint, Mirik Lake, Jamuni Valley in one trip — Numa packed it all in without feeling rushed. The Kalimpong monastery at dusk was something we'll never forget."

Our story

We are Darjeeling people
who love showing it off

Numa Tour & Travels was started in 2016 by a team of locals who grew up watching tourists miss the best parts of their home. We set out to fix that.

Our beginning

From guiding day trips
to 500+ happy travellers

Numa Tour & Travels was founded in Darjeeling in 2016 by Nirmal Tamang, a Darjeeling-born naturalist and former trekking guide who had spent a decade watching tourists get routed through the same four viewpoints, missing the tea estates, forest homestays, and river valleys that make North Bengal one of India's most extraordinary travel destinations.

The name "Numa" comes from the Nepali word for "to see clearly" — and that's the philosophy behind every package we design. We don't take shortcuts. Every homestay in our portfolio has been personally inspected. Every driver on our fleet is someone we've worked with for years. Every itinerary has been walked, driven, and refined through real feedback from real travellers.

Today we operate 8 curated packages across Darjeeling, Kalimpong, and the Dooars forests. We've served over 500 travellers from across India and remain a family-run operation — which means when you WhatsApp us at 11pm with a question, Nirmal or one of the team will actually respond.
