Bangalore is a loud, warm, and endlessly busy city as compared to Darjeeling, and I believe this contrast alone makes it one of the most rewarding escapes for a Bangalorean.
A Darjeeling tour package from Bangalore takes you from chaotic city heat into the misty mountains, where Darjeeling tea gardens stretch across hillsides, and the Darjeeling toy train crawls through clouds.
Although, Darjeeling feels genuinely far away than Ooty, but this is true that the first glimpse of Kanchenjunga makes every hour of travel worth it.

The exact roadmap for planning your Darjeeling trip from Bangalore.

Best Time to Visit Darjeeling from Bangalore
The best time to visit Darjeeling depends on your choice. In my opinion, most travellers overlook this and end up visiting during peak monsoon, and that's a mistake.
Summer (March–May): This is my favourite season because of the clear sky, blooming rhododendrons, and Kanchenjunga views are at their sharpest. Pleasantly cool for someone coming from Bangalore's heat.
Autumn (October–November): Autumn is the second most favourite season because of the crisp mountain air, with a festival season. This is the season of Durga Puja in the hills, which is something else entirely.
So, come any time of this season, and you’ll feel blessed with the beauty of Darjeeling. But how can you reach Darjeeling from Bangalore?
