NJP to Darjeeling
Car Rental
Step off your train at New Jalpaiguri and into a comfortable, pre-booked cab headed straight to the Queen of the Hills -no haggling, no delays, no surprises.
Entering into another state, another world
The route to Sikkim differs from that of the Darjeeling trekking route in the sense that this one travels mostly along the banks of the Teesta River, and passes through Sevoke, Teesta Bazaar and Rangpo before the last leg into Gangtok. It's more rugged - narrow gorges, suspension bridges and much less populated along the way.
Since Sikkim is a restricted state, all bookings come with an experienced driver who knows how to deal with the Rangpo check post - permits, queues and smooth travel for you without any need to chase anyone around for documents.

What Makes Our Cab Service Different
We've run this route hundreds of times. Here's what you get that a random taxi stand can't offer.
1. Ready Before Sunrise
Plenty of trains land at NJP between 4 and 6 AM. We run pre-dawn pickups routinely — just share your train number when booking and we'll be there.
2. Permits Sorted, Not Guesswork
Sikkim requires an Inner Line Permit for Indian travellers and a Restricted Area Permit for foreigners. We walk you through exactly what's needed so there's no holdup at the Rangpo checkpost.
3. No Sharing, No Detours
The vehicle is booked for you alone — no picking up strangers, no unplanned stops. You set the pace.
4. Room for the Long Haul
Heading into Sikkim usually means more luggage. Our Bolero and Innova give you proper boot space, with roof carriers available for extra gear.
5. The Price Holds, Border to Hotel
What we quote at booking is what you pay — no surprise add-ons once you're already on the road.
