What changes a taxi fare?
- Vehicle class — hatchback is cheapest; Innova Crysta and Tempo Traveller cost more.
- Season — peak tourist months and holidays see higher demand.
- One-way vs round trip — a return or multi-day trip can be more economical per day.
- Exact pickup/drop — a far-out hotel or an extra stop changes the distance.
- Permits & entry fees — restricted areas (Tsomgo, North Sikkim) add permit and entry costs.
- Road conditions — monsoon diversions and rough high-altitude sections can affect pricing.
- Night / early starts — very early sunrise runs or late arrivals may differ.
Sightseeing & tour pricing
Full-day local sightseeing (Darjeeling or Gangtok) is charged per vehicle for the day. North Sikkim and full Sikkim tours are priced for the whole itinerary because they include the driver's stay and permit coordination. Ask for a tailored quote.
