You can reach Darjeeling from Delhi, Bombay, Kolkata or Gauhati by air or train first to New Jalpaiguri or at airport Bagdogra. From there you can take shared taxi ( Commander Jeeps or Scorpio) to Darjeeling in less than four hours. Some cars take about two and half hours if they take Pankhabari route but that route is not suggested as it has very sharp bends and very steep climbing. Since, last 20 years or so due to Gorkhaland agitation rods are not properly maintained. Please try to take Hill Cart road or the main road to Darjeeling!

Fare would be around Rs.150/- to Rs.200/- or US$ 4-5 in shared jeep. But you can pay for two for the front seat or for four for the back seat.
