💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in NJP town instead of Darjeeling for 40-50% cheaper accommodation, then take affordable shared jeeps (₹150-200) or the toy train to Darjeeling for day trips
📅 October to November and March to May are ideal, when temperatures range from 10-20°C with clear skies perfect for mountain views and tea garden visits. Avoid monsoons (June-September) when landslides are common on hill roads, and winter months (December-February) when higher altitudes experience heavy snowfall.
🛂 Indian citizens do not require any visa or special permits to visit New Jalpaiguri as it is located in India. Simply carry a valid ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN, or passport for domestic travel.
