The journey
Driving from Kolkata to Siliguri
Siliguri is less a destination than a junction, and an important one — the narrow corridor through which every road to Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Sikkim, Dooars and the North East passes. If you are heading anywhere north, you are going through Siliguri.
Many of our guests book Kolkata to Siliguri as a standalone leg, breaking a longer hill journey here for the night before climbing the next morning. It is a sensible way to travel and one we actively recommend over a single punishing push into the mountains.
Siliguri itself has more to offer than its reputation suggests. Bagdogra airport and New Jalpaiguri station are both here, the Dooars forests begin barely an hour away, and Mirik is a very pleasant day trip.
