You are a bit tired of heavy bags on your shoulders. But you feel the cool Himalayan weather at the station itself. It is a hint of what is waiting ahead of you- with its lush green tea gardens, exotic Kanchenjunga view and misty clouds. Before you set foot, there is one question buzzing in your head- how far is Darjeeling from here? With Jai Cab Trips, a trusted travel agency, you make your smartest choice. Your journey will be exciting and hassle-free. NJP to Darjeeling Distance: The Numbers The distance between NJP and Darjeeling is approximately 70 &#8211; 75 km. You never know what is waiting for you. It depends entirely on the route taken. The distance varies due to the number of linking paths, weather conditions and time of travel.\u00a0 Route Approximate Distance Approximate Time Via Hill Cart Road (NH 55) 75\u201382 km 3 to 3.5 hours Via Rohini Road (Alternate) 73\u201378 km 2.5 to 3 hours Via Mirik (scenic detour) 90\u201395 km 4 to 4.5 hours Routes from NJP to Darjeeling Explained The various routes that are taken by the drivers from NJP to Darjeeling are explained as follows. Via Hill Cart Road (NH 55) &#8211; The Classic Route The most popular road to travel for NJP to Darjeeling is National Highway 55 (called Hill Cart Road previously) via Siliguri, Sukna, Kurseong, up to Darjeeling. It is maintained, commonly driven by drivers, and one can have a decent stop at the pleasant hill town of Kurseong if time permits. Via Rohini Road &#8211; The Faster Alternate Rohini Road is a thinner, usually faster road which bypasses a bit of the congestion in and around Kurseong town. A knowledgeable driver in a vehicle knows this shortcut during the height of tourist season when traffic on NH 55 is thick. Via Mirik &#8211; The Scenic Detour If you have leisure time or want to include a picturesque lake town in your itinerary, the deviation through Mirik adds about 15-20 Kms, and you get to stay at tranquil Mirik Lake. Jai Cab Trips can include this deviation as a custom trip upon request.\u00a0 How Long Does the NJP to Darjeeling Journey Actually Take? The distance between NJP and Darjeeling is more than 70 kms. It takes nearly 3 hours to 4 hours, depending on the condition of the road. The number can mislead you. A mountain road is always unpredictable. A mountain road is sometimes winding and sometimes narrow. They are subject to traffic, weather, and seasonal road conditions. Transport Options from NJP to Darjeeling There are several ways to cover the NJP to Darjeeling distance, as per your choice, interest and budget. 1. NJP to Darjeeling Car Rental (Private Cab) -Recommended Overall, hiring an NJP to Darjeeling car rental with Jai Cab Trips is the most convenient and effective option you could choose. You will get your choice of vehicle and a professionally experienced driver who is comfortable driving through hilly areas. Approximate fare for a private cab: Hatchback \/ Sedan (4-seater): \u20b92,500 &#8211; \u20b93,000 SUV \/ Innova (6-7-seater): \u20b93,500 &#8211; \u20b94,000 Premium \/ Luxury vehicle: Ask for details Fares may vary slightly by season. Jai Cab Trips offers transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden charges. 2. NJP to Darjeeling Shared Taxi -Budget Option NJP to Darjeeling taxi share services are available outside the NJP railway station. In taxi share, Sumos are usually used, and Shared Sumos carry 8\u201310 passengers and depart only once full. Cost per person: \u20b9200 -\u20b9400 approximately Departure: No fixed schedule -leaves when full Travel time: Longer, as the vehicle makes multiple stops Budget, but be warned that the compromise here is the lack of a fixed schedule, inflexibility for any stop-overs and sharing with strangers for 3+ hours of winding, mountain roads. A private cab is infinitely more practical for families, elderly travellers or those with plenty of luggage. 3. Toy Train (Darjeeling Himalayan Railway) &#8211; Heritage Experience The famous Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (a World Heritage Site) between NJP and Darjeeling. It is more of a heritage train trip. A ride takes 6-8 hours. It is an enchanting and very slow journey. It is not a good option to travel from NJP to Darjeeling as it takes longer hours. 4. Government Bus &#8211; Basic Option State transport buses run from Siliguri (not directly from NJP) to Darjeeling. Several buses run from Tenjing Norway Bus stand every day to Darjeeling. They are very crowded and not recommended for travellers with luggage or those arriving at NJP directly. What to Expect on the Road from NJP to Darjeeling The drive from NJP to Darjeeling is genuinely one of the most scenic in all of India. Here is a quick preview of what you will pass through: Siliguri City: Your cab takes you through the bustling gateway town of Siliguri after leaving NJP, before you finally begin climbing towards the hills. Sevoke and Coronation Bridge: As the roads finally begin to climb, you get to cross over the iconic colonial bridge on the River Teesta &#8211; Coronation Bridge, you would surely want to have your camera at the ready. Kurseong: About midway through the climb, we cross through Kurseong. It&#8217;s a quiet hill station with a few tea gardens and viewpoints, and a nice spot for breakfast. Ghoom: As you approach the Queen of Hills, you pass through Ghoom. It is an interesting place as it is regarded as the highest railway station in India. Another exciting place in Ghoom is watching the Batasia Loop. The toy train here runs in a circular motion.
