Frequently asked questions
A: While taxis are available, we strongly recommend a daylight departure. The hill roads, especially near Kurseong, can get very foggy in December. If your flight lands late, please pre-book with us so we can assign a driver experienced in night-time hill navigation.
Yes, in most cases. However, please note that Darjeeling is a "Walking Town." If your hotel is located on The Mall Road or in a pedestrian-only zone (like Gandhi Road or Chowrasta), our taxi will drop you at the nearest authorized stand (Clubside or Chowk Bazaar), and we can assist in arranging a porter for your luggage.
As of December 2025, the Rohini Road is the fastest and best-maintained route. It typically takes 2.5 to 3 hours. We avoid the old Hill Cart Road unless you specifically wish to see the Toy Train tracks, as it is narrower and takes about 45 minutes longer.
Our drivers are local experts. If the main Rohini route is closed, we immediately divert to the Pankhabari or Mirik routes. Unlike outstation aggregators, we receive real-time updates from our local network to ensure you aren't stranded.
At Tour Adviser, our quoted fare is transparent. It includes fuel, driver allowance, and standard luggage. Only the state entry toll (usually at Rohini or Rangpo) and specific parking fees at your hotel are extra unless mentioned otherwise in your booking.

Tour Adviser: Our Darjeeling Safe Driver Pledge
Driving to the 'Queen of the Hills' (6,700 ft) requires specialized skill. Every Tour Adviser journey from Bagdogra to Darjeeling is governed by our mountain-safety charter:
Hill-Start Mastery: Our drivers are local experts trained in hill-climbing maneuvers, ensuring smooth transitions on steep Pankhabari and Rohini gradients without engine strain.
Mist & Fog Navigation: Darjeeling roads, especially near Kurseong and Sonada, often face heavy mist. Our vehicles are equipped with high-visibility fog lamps and drivers are trained in low-visibility pacing.
Brake-Cooling Protocol: Descending from Darjeeling can overheat brakes. Our drivers use engine-braking techniques and take mandatory cooling stops to ensure your safety is never compromised.
NH110 Expertise: We share the road with the iconic UNESCO Toy Train. Our drivers are trained to navigate narrow crossings safely, giving you the best views without the risk.
Clean & Green Commitment: As a local business, we pledge to maintain zero-littering and follow "No-Honking" zones in silence-sensitive areas like school and hospital zones in Darjeeling.

Bagdogra Airport Taxi Guide
Pro-Tips for your Bagdogra to Darjeeling Journey
🕙 Time your Arrival: Try to land at Bagdogra before 1:00 PM. The drive takes 3–4 hours, and arriving in Darjeeling before sunset allows you to enjoy the evening "Mall Road" vibe and avoids driving in heavy mountain fog.
🚂 The Toy Train Sync: If you take the Hill Cart Road, ask your driver to sync with the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (Toy Train) schedule. Capturing a video of the steam engine puffing alongside your taxi at Kurseong or Sonada is a highlight of the trip.
🥤 Beat Motion Sickness: The climb via Rohini or Pankhabari has over 30 sharp hairpin bends. If you are prone to motion sickness, sit in the front seat, avoid looking at your phone, and keep some ginger candy or lemon drops handy.
🧥 The "Layer Up" Rule: While Bagdogra might be a warm 25°C, Darjeeling can drop to 5°C by the time you arrive in December. Keep a light jacket or sweater in your handbag (not deep in your luggage) so you can put it on as soon as you cross Kurseong.
📸 Best Photo Stop: Don't miss the Margaret’s Hope Tea Garden viewpoint. It offers a 180-degree panoramic view of the rolling tea bushes. It’s the perfect spot for a 10-minute "Chai break" and a quick photoshoot.
📱 Network Tip: Signal can be spotty near the forest areas of Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary. Download your offline maps or hotel booking details before leaving the Bagdogra Airport terminal.
