Features
Darjeeling, in one app
Everything a traveller needs to explore the hills, and everything a host or driver needs to be found.
Trusted local drivers
Connect with vetted drivers who know every mountain road, from town transfers to full-day treks.
Offbeat location guide
Discover lesser-known viewpoints, trails and villages, curated by the people who actually live there.
Culture & biodiversity stories
Short, local stories on festivals, crafts, flora and fauna, so you know what you're looking at before you set out.
One trip itinerary
Homestay stays, driver pickups and detours in a single itinerary that updates as your plans change.
Community-first pricing
Fair, transparent pricing that puts more of every booking directly into the hands of hosts and drivers.
For travellers
Everything you need before you set foot in the hills
Aangan puts verified homestays, trusted drivers and curated offbeat trails in one place, so planning a Darjeeling trip stops meaning a dozen unreliable phone numbers and word-of-mouth guesses.
- Verified homestays, not listings copy-pasted from elsewhere
- Drivers who know the roads, weather and detours
- Offbeat spots you won't find on a typical itinerary
For hosts & drivers
A direct line to travellers who want the real Darjeeling
Homestay owners and drivers list themselves, manage their own bookings and get paid directly, without handing over a cut to a string of middlemen along the way.
- Simple listing, no technical setup required
- Fair commission, paid out directly
- Bookings and messages in one inbox
