Getting Around

🚌
NBSTC AC Bus ₹150

Siliguri Junction Bus Stand → Rangpo Bazaar stop

90 min · Every 30 minutes · 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM

💡 Get off at Rangpo Bazaar, then walk 5 minutes uphill to the lodge. Buses can be crowded; sit on the left side for valley views.

🚕
Bagdogra Airport Taxi ₹2000

Bagdogra Airport (IXB) → Rangpo Tourist Lodge

120 min · On demand · 24 hours (pre-book recommended for late arrivals)

💡 Arrange a shared taxi from the prepaid counter to save ₹500-800; the road via Sevoke has sharp bends, so ask for a driver familiar with the route.

🚕
Shared Sumo from Siliguri ₹250

Siliguri Junction → Rangpo Tourist Lodge

100 min · Every 20 minutes until 5 PM · 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM

💡 Sumos leave when full – arrive early morning to wait less. Ask to be dropped at the lodge gate, not the main road, as the driveway is steep.

🚂
Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (Toy Train) ₹600

New Jalpaiguri Station (NJP) → Rangpo Railway Station

150 min · Once daily (departure around 9:00 AM) · 09:00–11:30 (seasonal schedule)

💡 Book the 'Joy Ride' ticket in advance (IRCTC). Rangpo station is a whistle-stop; the lodge is a 10-minute walk downhill after alighting.

💡 Walk to the far end past the Gandhi statue for a quieter view of the valley. Avoid the pony ride touts near the entrance.
