Bagdogra Airport to Kalimpong Taxi

About the Bagdogra Airport to Kalimpong taxi

Bagdogra (IXB) to Kalimpong is a short hill transfer of about 70 km — roughly 2½–3 hours via NH10 and the Teesta. No permit is needed for Kalimpong, and you're met at arrivals with a name board.

It's one of the quicker hill transfers from the airport, which makes Kalimpong an easy first stop or a quiet alternative to Darjeeling.

Recommended route & major stops

The usual road is NH10 via Sevoke and Teesta, then the climb to Kalimpong. Drivers know the diversions used during roadwork or landslide season and will take the safest open route on the day.

Landmarks and towns you pass or can stop at:

• Sevoke Road and the Coronation Bridge
• Teesta river along NH10
• Teesta Bazaar junction
• Climb up to the Kalimpong ridge

Which vehicle should you choose?

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.
