What sets the price

SeasonSpring, autumn and holidays cost more than the quiet months.
Hotel categoryStandard, deluxe or premium, and whether rooms face the view.
VehicleSedan, SUV or a larger vehicle for groups; reserved or shared.
Group sizeMore travellers share the vehicle and lower the cost per head.
Add-onsZero Point, Nathu La, the toy train or a guide where needed.
