Why pre-book NJP to Pelling
Shared Sumos from the station lean toward Gangtok. Pelling is a different climb after Jorethang.
A private cab gives you:
- Driver waiting after a long train, with your name
- Hotel drop in Upper, Middle or Lower Pelling
- Space for trunks and winter jackets
- Tea stops at Melli or Jorethang
- No second change at Siliguri town
If four people share an SUV, the per-head cost is often close to four packed shared seats—and you keep the bags.
Distance, route and travel time
Distance: about 135–145 km (a few kilometres more than some IXB pins, depending on the station exit).
Time: 5 hours if NH10 is clean; plan 6 hours after a late train or monsoon work.
Typical route
- NJP station → Siliguri bypass / Sevoke Road
- Coronation Bridge
- Teesta Bazaar
- Melli (Sikkim entry)
- Jorethang → Legship / Rimbi → Pelling
You do not go via Gangtok unless that is the itinerary.
Train timing: morning arrivals (before 11:00 AM) reach Pelling in daylight. A 4:00 PM arrival means the last climb after dark—we still operate; start as soon as bags are off the train.
Bagdogra flights use the twin page: Bagdogra Airport to Pelling taxi. Fares sit in the same band.
