Taxi service in Darjeeling

Darjeeling Cab is a local operator based in Peshok, running fixed-fare cabs across Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kurseong, Mirik and Sikkim. Every price below is for the whole vehicle, not per person, and includes tolls and parking.

What our taxi service covers

Most people reach the hills at New Jalpaiguri railway station or Bagdogra airport, both near Siliguri, and need a cab for the climb up. We run that transfer daily, along with full-day local sightseeing, point-to-point outstation trips into Sikkim, and multi-day tours where the same driver stays with you for the whole itinerary.

Fares are agreed before you travel and confirmed in writing on WhatsApp. A 20% advance secures the booking and the balance is settled during the trip. There is no meter and no surge.

Why travellers book a local operator

Hill driving is its own skill. The road from Siliguri to Darjeeling climbs roughly 2,000 metres in 70 kilometres, with tight bends, monsoon landslide repairs and fog that settles without warning. Our drivers live on these roads, speak Nepali, Hindi and conversational English, and know which route is open when the main road is blocked.

Because we are a small operation rather than an aggregator, the person who answers your call is the person arranging the cab. That matters most when a flight is delayed or a plan changes mid-trip.

What the fare includes

  • The entire vehicle, not a shared seat
  • Fuel, driver allowance, toll taxes and parking fees
  • Hotel or homestay pickup and drop within the town

Entry tickets at sightseeing points, parks and monuments are paid directly by passengers, and extra kilometres beyond the agreed itinerary are charged separately.
