Quick answer: This page lists the Darjeeling taxi stand fare chart for routes such as West Point, Ghoom, Lebong, Sonada, Kalimpong, Gangtok and NJP, with separate rates for diesel and petrol vehicles. Fares are set locally and revised from time to time, so treat the chart as a guide and confirm the amount at the taxi stand before you travel. The road trip from Siliguri or NJP up to Darjeeling usually takes about 3 to 4 hours depending on traffic and road conditions.

Key points
- Rates in the chart differ for diesel and petrol vehicles.
- Always agree the fare and whether it is per seat or for the whole vehicle before boarding.
- Allow 3 to 4 hours from NJP, Siliguri or Bagdogra; monsoon landslides and fog can add more.
- Carry some cash, as small hill stands may not take digital payments.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a taxi take from NJP or Siliguri to Darjeeling?
Plan for roughly 3 to 4 hours. Heavy traffic, roadworks on Hill Cart Road, fog and monsoon landslides can lengthen the trip, so avoid tight connections.
Are the fares in the chart fixed?
They are indicative rates published for the Darjeeling taxi stand and are revised by local taxi associations. Festival days, late-night trips and luggage can change what you are asked to pay, so confirm first.
Is it better to take a shared jeep or book a full taxi?
Shared jeeps are cheaper per person and run on set routes from the main stands; a full taxi costs more but leaves on your schedule and can stop for sightseeing. Families and anyone with heavy luggage usually prefer a reserved taxi.
Where can I find the nearest railhead and airport?
New Jalpaiguri (NJP) is the nearest major railway station and Bagdogra is the nearest airport, both in the plains near Siliguri. See our guide on how to travel from Kolkata to Darjeeling for route options.
