Hi Janty,
You can stay in the tribal cottages of the Daringbadi nature’s camp which is an initiative by the tourism department of Odisha to bring local flavours to tourists. Alternatively, you can stay in Baliguda which is approximately 50 km away from Daringbadi and the distance can be covered in 1 hour. You can find good accommodations and food options in Baliguda.
Check skyscanner & goibibo. most importantly dont surf too much, as the companies capture your data with cookies and raise their ticket prices. so if you see a good deal in your budget, book it straight away. Mon-tue night is usually good time to book air tickets.
happy Traveling!
If u don't have a fixed date of departure and don't have any problem traveling during late night or early morning try to check for late night early morning departure flights they often cost less and also try to book on Tuesday or Thursday often you will get better deals. Make use of discounts given my travel portals like Makemytrip, Goibibo etc and also claim your credit card offer if any. You will surely get better rates for your flight.
Bonus tip: While searching for flights always use incognito mode on your web browser and also use comparison app such as Skyscanner.
The journey through silk route itself is a beautiful experience. It offers great views as you move along, more than any specific places to see. For 5d/4n you can plan as follows:
D1: NJP to Icche Gaon. Overnight stay at Icche Gaon
D2: Icche Gaon to Zuluk. Overnight stay at Zuluk
D3: Zuluk to Nathang. Overnight stay at Nathang
D4: Nathang to Gangtok. Overnight stay at Gangtok
D5: Gangtok to NJP
Now as you will be travelling in Feb, there are few catches, as the roads from Nathang onwards may be blocked/closed due to snow. Also there is an issue of getting permit near the Nathula pass. If you are unable to proceed towards Gangtok, you can modify the itinerary as below.
D4: Nathang to Aritar. Overnight stay at Aritar
D5: Aritar to NJP
Here are few places to see along Silk Route:
Thambi view point near Zuluk
Lungthang
Kalipokhri Lake
Old Baba Mandir
Elephant Lake
Changu Lake (if you proceed towards Gangtok)
Places to stay:
In silk route don't expect to get high end hotels. Accommodation is mostly in homestays, specially in Zuluk and Nathang you will only get homestays.
At Zuluk try to get rooms at Dilmaya retreat. They have decent rooms and offer good view.
In Nathang, ask for a guy called Amrit. He is a local there and drives tourist cars along the silk route. He is providing accommodation recently, and his place is one of the best you will get in Nathang, with modern amenities.

The main town side is mostly crowded, the hippie island has more peace. Sunset point and monkey temple are good places. You can also go rock climbing nd roping there.
Hi
you can try trekking to Matunga hills which is great place to witness sunrise. you can also try Virapura gadde which is also called as Hippie island.
You can take the konkan route and cover Goa, Gokarna, Mangalore, Wayanad, Kannur, Munnar, Vagamon, Alleppy and fly or take a train back from Kochi. This is the best route to cover most of the beautiful places in South India in less days
