NJP to Anywhere in the Hills - Our Car Rental in Siliguri Knows Every Turn
NJP is the gateway to some of the most breathtaking hill destinations in India – Darjeeling, Gangtok, Kalimpong, and beyond. And the journey begins the moment you step off the train.
For every turn, you need a car in a remote location, you can count on NJP to Anywhere in the Hills – Our Car Rental in Siliguri.
Siliguri is the gateway to the Eastern Himalayas – a city that links the plains with the peaks. Thousands of visitors go through every year on their way to Darjeeling, Gangtok, Kalimpong, Pelling, etc.
Why is Siliguri the Starting Point for Every Hill Journey?
Siliguri is more than just a city, it’s the gateway to the hills.
Every major destination in the region – Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Gangtok, Kurseong, Mirik -the road starts here. NJP railway station is right on its doorstep. Bagdogra airport is minutes away. And the famous NH10, which snakes along the Teesta River all the way up to Sikkim, begins here too.
Think of Siliguri as the junction. The place where the plains meet the mountains. Where your hill adventure actually begins.
And that’s exactly why getting around Siliguri -and out of it -matters so much.
Thus, a reliable Siliguri taxi service becomes more of a must than a luxury.
NJP Car Rental: Your Journey Begins the Moment You Arrive
Hundreds of trains come to the NJP station every day, with thousands of passengers arriving from all parts of India. Most of them are not going to Siliguri, but rather to a hill station still several hours away. Here, NJP car rental services come into play.
No futile negotiation with local cab drivers, no wasted time with a pre-rented cab at the NJP exit. You step out, locate your driver, pack your bags and start your most scenic drive – up into the hills.
Our NJP car rental service features the option of airport pick up, location tracking and a deeply knowledgeable staff of veteran mountain road drivers. Once your train arrives, it is already arranged for.
Hill Station Cab Service: From NJP to the heart of the Himalayas:
Although the town of Darjeeling is the jewel of the crown, the hills of North Bengal and Sikkim offer as many places that are deserving of the same attention. Our hill station taxi service from NJP has a huge network of routes:
Gangtok, Sikkim: Capital of Sikkim. Just 112 km from NJP via NH10. Drive along the Teesta River through stunning gorges and waterfalls.
Kalimpong: A charming town of monasteries, flower nurseries, and colonial buildings. About 75 km from NJP along a beautiful riverside road.
Mirik: A peaceful lake town just 55 km from NJP. Perfect for a quick and relaxing weekend getaway.
Kurseong: Known as the Land of the White Orchid. A scenic hill town nestled between Siliguri and Darjeeling.
Pelling, Sikkim: Breathtaking views of the Kanchenjunga range. About 140 km from NJP and worth every kilometre.
For those wishing to explore further into the Sikkim mountain areas, we have cab packages for multi-day tours with Sikkim mountain drivers known as Lachung & Yumthang Valley.
All of these trails will require your drivers to know the rules of mountain driving: low gears for steep climbs, use of your brakes for descents and patience in hairpin turns. Our highly trained drivers know and love every hill route.
