How to Reach Darjeeling: Flights, Toy Train & Road (2026)

Fly into Bagdogra (about 3 hours by road) or take a train to New Jalpaiguri (NJP). The heritage toy train also climbs from NJP/Kurseong for a memorable, if slow, final approach.

What we handle

TripTrix Voyages arranges transfers, stays and all documentation for Darjeeling. No special permit is needed for Darjeeling itself; nearby Sikkim areas may require inner-line permits, which we arrange.

  • Gateway: Bagdogra Airport (about 3 hours by road to Darjeeling)
  • Best time: October to December and March to May for clear mountain views; the monsoon (June–September) is lush but drives are slower.
  • Permits, transport and stays fully managed

TripTrix Voyages arranges the full Darjeeling hills experience for the travel trade — net rates on request for any itinerary.
