Siliguri to Sikkim
Car Rental
Starting your Sikkim trip from Siliguri itself? Book a private cab that picks you up from your exact address and takes you straight into the hills -no station stop, no airport detour, just a direct run to Gangtok.
A direct line from the plains to the Sikkim hills
Starting from Siliguri cuts out the NJP or airport leg and gets you onto the Teesta riverside road a little quicker. The route runs through Sevoke, Teesta Bazaar, and Rangpo before climbing into Gangtok at around 1,650 metres.
Because pickup points vary -a hotel near Hill Cart Road, a relative's home, or a bus stand — our drivers are used to flexible starts rather than a single fixed counter. The one constant on this route is the Sikkim entry formality at Rangpo, which our drivers are well-practised at handling.

What makes Our Services Different?
Since this route starts flexibly but ends at a protected border, here's how we manage both ends of it.
1. Pickup Anywhere in Siliguri
we come to you. No need to first make your way to a fixed counter or station.
2. Permit Checklist Sent Early
We share what's needed for the Inner Line Permit (Indian nationals) or Restricted Area Permit (foreign nationals) well before your travel date.
3. Drivers Who Know Rangpo
The checkpost can mean a short wait even with everything in order. Our drivers handle the documentation process efficiently, keeping delays minimal.
4. No Shared Jeep, No Waiting
Unlike shared jeep stands where departure depends on a full vehicle, your private cab leaves the moment you're ready.
5. Room for the Full Trip
Heading into Sikkim usually means a longer stay and more luggage. Our Bolero and Innova handle that comfortably, with roof carriers available.
