Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How can I book a taxi for Sikkim and Darjeeling from Kanpur?
It is simple! Once you have booked your train to NJP or flight to Bagdogra, contact us via our website or WhatsApp. Share your arrival details and group size, and we will confirm your dedicated taxi and driver immediately.
Is it safe to travel in the hills with a local driver?
Absolutely. Mountain driving is a specialized skill. Our drivers are locals who have years of experience navigating the sharp curves and steep inclines of Sikkim and Darjeeling, ensuring a much safer journey than self-driving or hiring non-local cabs.
What documents are needed for Sikkim permits?
For travelers from Kanpur (Indian Nationals), you will need a valid Photo ID (Voter ID, Passport, or Aadhaar) and 4-5 passport-sized photographs. We collect these digitally from you to process your permits before you even land.
