How we began

Rooted in Gangtok,
for over a decade

We started We Care Holidays because we were tired of watching travellers arrive in Sikkim with beautiful expectations and leave with disappointment — not because the place had failed them, but because the trip had been designed by someone who had never stood at Gurudongmar at dawn or watched clouds fill the Teesta valley from Ravangla. We are from here. This is our home.

Over the years we have built a team of local guides, permit specialists, drivers and accommodation partners who share our belief: that travel done right is deeply personal. We do not sell you a package. We listen to you — your pace, your family, what excites you — and we build the journey around that conversation.

From the high-altitude monasteries of North Sikkim and the rhododendron forests of Dzongri to the colonial tea estates of Darjeeling and the ancient temples of Kathmandu, every route we plan carries the weight of our own experience. We have walked these roads, navigated these permits, tasted these meals. When we recommend something, it is because we would take you there ourselves.

Why travel with us

What sets us apart

These are not marketing promises. They are the things our clients tell us made the difference.

Born & raised here

Our team was raised in Gangtok, Kalimpong and the Darjeeling hills. We don't read about these places — we grew up in them. Your trip benefits from a lifetime of local knowledge, not a guidebook.

All permits handled

Sikkim's permit system — RAP, Protected Area Permit, Inner Line Permit, Nathu La — can be complex for first-timers. We manage every clearance from start to finish so you can focus on the journey.

24/7 trip support

Once your journey begins, we're available around the clock. Whether it's a weather diversion, a vehicle breakdown or a medical query at altitude, our local team is one call away.

Private custom itineraries

We design every trip from scratch around you — your pace, your interests, your group size. We do not operate group tours or fixed departures. Everything is private, everything is personal.

Our team

The people behind your trip

Every journey we plan is overseen by someone who was born and raised in this region. We don't outsource local knowledge — it's who we are.

What travellers say

Stories from the road

These words aren't marketing — they're from real travellers who trusted us with their journeys.

We had done packaged tours before but nothing like this. Ajay and the team built our entire Sikkim trip around our pace — no rushing, no crowds. The Gurudongmar Lake sunrise was something we will carry for the rest of our lives. Every permit, every local guide, every meal stop was pre-arranged. Truly stress-free.
Vikram & Meera Nair
Bangalore · North Sikkim Explorer — 7 days
I was travelling solo as a woman and had specific concerns about safety and flexibility. The We Care Holidays team addressed every question before I even had to ask. My guide was with me the whole journey through Yuksom, Pelling and finally down to Darjeeling. Felt like having a trusted local friend, not a hired service.
Anoushka Chatterjee
Mumbai · Sikkim–Darjeeling Blend — 10 days
As first-time travellers to Northeast India, the permit complexity had us worried. We Care Holidays handled everything — RAP, Inner Line, Nathu La clearance — and met us at Bagdogra with everything sorted. The local knowledge is real; they know every road, every shortcut, and every view that's worth stopping for.
