Spring (March–April)
Summer (May–June)
is the peak tourist season, as many travellers come to escape Kolkata’s heat. The temperature is comfortable, and you’ll likely get great mountain views of Kanchenjunga.
During the Monsoon (July–September)
Darjeeling turns lush and green with heavy rains. It’s the cheapest time to visit since hotels offer discounts, but it’s not ideal for families with small kids because of the risk of landslides.
Autumn (October–November)
is another best season to visit. The skies are crystal clear, making it the perfect time to witness Kanchenjunga’s beauty. The weather remains cool and comfortable, though evenings can get a little chilly.
Finally, Winter (December–February)
brings cold weather, especially at night. You’ll need heavy woolens, but if you’re lucky, you might even see snow at higher places.
Getting There: Simplifying the Kolkata to Darjeeling Journey
The actual trip starts much before you reach Darjeeling. Since there are no direct flights, planning the leg from Kolkata to the hills is the biggest hurdle.
1. Train Ka (of) Convenience: Reaching NJP (New Jalpaiguri)
If you are traveling with family from Kolkata, the train is often the most comfortable and cost-effective option. You have overnight trains like the Darjeeling Mail or Padatik Express.
- The Avianna Advantage: Once your Darjeeling tour package from Kolkata for family is booked with us, our cab driver is waiting for you outside NJP with a name placard. No haggling, no delays, just a smooth start to the mountains!
2. Quickest Route: Flying to Bagdogra (IXB)
Flying to Bagdogra is best for couples or those on shorter trips. It saves almost a full day of travel.
- Travel Distance: Bagdogra to Darjeeling is about 65-70 km (approx. 3.5 hours).
- The Avianna Advantage:We track your flight and ensure a private, comfortable vehicle (usually a spacious SUV like a Sumo or Bolero for family) is ready. Your couple-friendly cab is sanitized and ready to begin your scenic drive immediately.
Darjeeling for Foodies: Must-Try Local Delights
Coming from Kolkata, you already have shauq (a love) for great food! Darjeeling's local cuisine is spicy, comforting, and perfect for the cold weather.
- Momos (The King): Forget the steamed ones you get in the city. Try the local pan-fried or soup momos. They are simply the best.
- Thukpa & Thenthuk: This hearty Tibetan noodle soup is the ultimate comfort food on a cold evening. Pet bhar jaayega (Your stomach will be full), we promise!
- Aloo Dum & Singara (Samosa):Our Kolkata heart needs these snacks! The local Aloo Dum is much spicier and usually served with peanuts. Grab a hot one near Mall Road!
- Darjeeling Tea:Obvious toh hai (It's obvious), but you MUST try the first-flush tea at a local estate—it's fresh, light, and world-class.
Hidden Gems & Local Secrets (Beyond Tiger Hill)
To make your Darjeeling trip from Kolkata truly unique, ask your Avianna driver to include some of these local gems:
- Chowk Bazaar:Skip the fancy shops near Mall Road and explore the bustling lower Chowk Bazaar. It’s where locals shop, and you'll find great deals on woolens, local spices, and handicrafts.
- Happy Valley Tea Estate Tour:Instead of just viewing, take a proper walk through the Happy Valley Tea Estate. It's a peaceful experience and a great chance for couples to take amazing photos.
- Ghoom Monastery:This is Darjeeling's oldest Tibetan monastery. Go early for the morning prayers—it’s an incredibly serene and powerful experience, far from the tourist crowd.
Local Etiquette: Important Rules for a Responsible Trip
Darjeeling is a beautiful, peaceful place. Let's keep it that way! Whether you are a couple enjoying a quiet time or a family exploring, please follow these simple rules:
- Respect the Culture: When visiting monasteries (like the Peace Pagoda or Ghoom), dress modestly (cover shoulders and knees) and speak softly. Respect is always appreciated!
- Zero Garbage Policy: The hills are delicate. Do not spread garbage; carry your plastic bottles and wrappers back with you, or use the bins provided. Please, make us proud!
- Ask Before Clicking: Always politely ask locals, especially monks or older people, before clicking their pictures.
- Bargain Nicely:You can bargain in the local markets, but always do so politely and with a smile.
