Siliguri to Darjeeling
Car Rental
Starting your trip from Siliguri itself? Skip the shared jeep stands and book a private cab that picks you up from your exact location and takes you straight up to Darjeeling.
Fast rise from lowlands warmth to hills tranquillity
The town of Bagdogra is situated in the plains, and it takes just a few hours of driving for you to experience the contrast between the warmth of the tropical regions and the cool air of the mountains. The journey passes through the outskirts of Siliguri, through the thick Mahananda forest region, and the tea plantation regions of Kurseong till we reach Darjeeling.
Whereas flight schedules change more than train schedules do, this is one journey that actually depends on the punctuality of the transport operator, not the passengers. This we ensure from the beginning – the schedule of your driver changes according to your flight schedule.
