possibly you meant JPY= New Jalpaiguri (NJP)

I'd suggest you to arrange your ininerary like that:

kalimpong-Darjeeling-Gangtok........and dont forget to bring stamp size photo and photocopy of address & photo prove documents

if you are a foreigner, sorry to say, you'll not be allowed to Nathula (generally)........there is a help desk for foreigners of Sikkim Tourism (on mall) in Darjeeling......you may ask you quarries there

first of all drop the word "sir" permanently for me

North Sikkim is my most favorite place since last 14 years........but when its the matter of "kids and more relaxing", it must be Darjeeling......after all people call it the queen of hills
