💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in NJP town itself instead of Darjeeling for accommodation costs that are 40-50% cheaper, then take affordable shared taxis or buses to Darjeeling (45km, ₹150-200 per person) for day trips.
📅 October to November and March to May are ideal, offering clear skies, pleasant temperatures (15-25°C), and perfect visibility of the Kanchenjunga peak. Avoid monsoons (June-September) when landslides are common, and winter months (December-February) when early mornings are freezing.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require any visa to visit New Jalpaiguri as it is located within India in West Bengal state. Simply carry a valid photo ID like Aadhaar or PAN card for domestic travel.
