💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in NJP town instead of Darjeeling - rooms cost 40-50% less while being just 2 hours away by shared taxi (₹50-80 per person), and use the toy train as your main experience rather than staying overnight in the hills.
📅 October to November and March to May are ideal, offering clear skies, pleasant temperatures (15-25°C), and perfect visibility of Kanchenjunga and surrounding peaks. Avoid monsoons (June-September) when landslides block mountain roads, and winter months (December-February) when early morning mist obscures views.
🛂 Indian citizens do not require a visa to visit New Jalpaiguri as it is located in West Bengal, India. Simply carry your valid Indian ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN, or passport.
