Getting to Gangtok
Most travellers reach Gangtok from the plains. From Bagdogra Airport (IXB) it's roughly 124 km and 4–4½ hours; from NJP railway station about 118 km. The road follows NH10 along the Teesta river through Rangpo, where you cross into Sikkim and show your ID at the check post. We build buffer time into airport pickups for flight delays.
Gangtok local & sightseeing taxi
Within and around Gangtok we run two kinds of trips: quick local drops (MG Marg, hotels, ropeway, monasteries) and full-day sightseeing tours. The most popular day trip is Tsomgo (Changu) Lake, Baba Mandir and — for Indian nationals with a permit and on open days — Nathula Pass. A separate half-day covers the city's viewpoints, Rumtek Monastery, Ganesh Tok, Tashi View Point and the Namgyal Institute.

Which vehicle in Gangtok?
For two people with light luggage a hatchback or sedan is comfortable. Families of four to six almost always prefer an SUV or a Toyota Innova / Innova Crysta on hill roads for the extra space, higher stance and steadier ride. Larger groups travel together in a Tempo Traveller. Full comparison on our vehicle fleet page.
