Day3:In Gangtok n nite stay
Day4:Off to Darjeeling nite stay
Day5:In Darjeeling nite stay
Day6:In Darjeeling nite stay
Day7: Darjeeling to Bagdogra & bk to hometown.

Any suggestions/precautions for the itinerary..?

Also please suggest few good hotels to stay for honeymooners.
Did anybody stay in "shangri-la-regency"...in Darjeeling..? Howz dat?

*) Is there any way in this itinerary, that we can get to Njoy the toy train too?

*) How much I need to shell out for

Just now.We had the best of Annual Tours till date .This time it was Sikkim. North Sikkim , specifically.
Not visiting North Sikkim, equals Skipping Taj in Agra tour.Must visit Gurudongmar and Yumthang.Skip Gurudongamr if you are not for Adventure. But Don't skip Yumthang at all. Ideal place for Honey Moon.Stay at Lachung as many days you can.
North Sikkim do not have rains.Almost thru out the year no rains!!
While, Darju and Gangtok would allow you to see clouds beneth shoes, inside your socks nd cupboards.Clouds Clouds and Moonsoon clouds every where, I mean, in July.
Dont miss Gangtok Zoo.

Darjiling is a mess. Skip it.
