Beautiful Road Trip

3.5/7 Posted 5 months ago

Mode of Transport:Taxi

Travel between Darjeeling and Gangtok is an absolute delight. There are many shared taxis available between these 2 tourist destinations and at much affordable rates. Travel time is around 3 hours and with these expert drivers it can be even lesser. Once you start from Darjeeling, you come down towards Kalimpong Sikkim touch the Tista river. Most of the drive is along this river and it offers an excellent view. Roads in WB are ok but gets excellent once you enter Sikkim.You are supposed to show your ID cards once you enter the state of Sikkim. Be prepared.

Book the middle seats for families

5/7 Posted 5 months ago

Mode of Transport:Taxi

It was a normal trip. There were two stoppages. You can get all fast foods you want to eat. The sights are great. The Sikkim Manipal University also comes in between. You can get shared taxis for the route for Rs. 200 each. It would be better for a family to book the middle 4 seats as without there is place for only 3 persons. So, it would be better if you book the middle seats for your family. More »
