Tip Top Group is run by Sikkim specialist Jigar Doshi. Since 1995 our hotels have looked after families and groups touring Sikkim and Darjeeling – especially travellers who want proper vegetarian, Jain and Gujarati food in the hills. We can arrange your whole tour: rooms at each stop, a car with driver, permits and sightseeing.

Why guests choose us
Food you can trust. Pure vegetarian food is not easy to find in North Sikkim and other remote areas. Our kitchens cook Gujarati, Rajasthani and Jain meals – including food without onion, garlic or root vegetables – so you do not have to compromise on your holiday. Meals are served as per your itinerary: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
One contact for the whole trip. Instead of booking hotels, cars and permits separately, you can plan everything with one person who knows the routes, the seasons and the permit rules. We tell you honestly if a road is closed or a place is not worth visiting in a particular month.
Good for families and groups. Many of our guests are families, senior citizens and community groups from Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Kolkata. We plan comfortable driving days and keep high-altitude days sensible.
Frequently asked questions
Do all Tip Top hotels serve Jain food?
Yes. Every Tip Top hotel has its own pure vegetarian kitchen serving Gujarati, Rajasthani and Jain food. Tell us about any special requirement when you book.
How do I get room rates?
Rates change with the season and the length of stay, so we quote them on request. Send us your dates and number of guests on WhatsApp or through the enquiry form.
Can you arrange a car and permits too?
Yes. We arrange cars with experienced local drivers, the permits needed for Tsomgo Lake, Nathula and North Sikkim, and full sightseeing.
