How To Reach

Sikkim is a beautiful state located in the northeastern part of India. If you are planning to visit, the first question that comes to mind before booking any customizable Sikkim Tour Packages is how to reach Sikkim.
Reaching Sikkim is an important part of the journey itself, as the route passes through lush green valleys, blooming orchid flowers, and breathtaking mountain scenery, all of which create memories that last a lifetime. Sikkim is well connected through multiple travel options including road, train, and air.

By Air:
Bagdogra Airport in West Bengal is the nearest airport to Sikkim which is nearly 124 km from Gangtok the capital city of Sikkim. The airport is well-connected to major cities of India like Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai. From Bagdogra visitors can hire a taxi or can book a shared cab to reach Gangtok, which will take around 4-5 hours.
Highest cost among all options but saves maximum travel time for long-distance travelers. Most efficient for those flying from Delhi, Mumbai, or Chennai. Ideal when time matters more than budget.

By Train:
The nearest major railway station to Sikkim is New Jalpaiguri (NJP), also in West Bengal at a distance of 148 km from Gangtok. NJP is a hub for trains from many parts of India. From NJP you can hire a taxi or take a shared car to Gangtok, around a 4-5 hour journey. Direct buses also run from NJP to Gangtok.
Most budget-friendly and comfortable option for travelers across India. Overnight trains save daytime hours making it highly time-efficient. Best balance of cost, comfort, and convenience overall.

By Road:
Sikkim is primarily connected to the rest of India through National Highway 10 (NH-10), the main highway linking the state with West Bengal. The route starts from Siliguri and enters Sikkim through Rangpo, the state's main gateway, before continuing to Gangtok.
Most flexible and affordable option for travelers already in West Bengal or nearby states. Multiple departure options available throughout the day. Road conditions and traffic may affect travel time during peak season or monsoon.
