To reach Tinchuley from Siliguri/NJP (New Jalpaiguri Railway Station), you can opt for following means:
Hire a Private Car or Taxi
Distance is about 70-80 kms (Time: 2.5 to 3 hours) dependng on which route you take.
You can hire a private car or taxi directly from NJP. It's the most convenient option, especially if you're traveling with luggage or in a group. You can get reserved taxis from the NJP station or nearby Siliguri.
By Shared Taxi
You can take a shared taxi from NJP or Siliguri to Darjeeling or Teesta Bazaar, which is on the way to Tinchuley. From Darjeeling or Teesta Bazaar, hire another local taxi to reach Tinchuley. However, shared taxis may not take you directly to Tinchuley, so you might need to switch vehicles at certain points (e.g., Darjeeling, Jorebungalow).
It’s recommended to arrange transportation in advance, especially in the tourist season. We could provide an all inclusive if you'd like a tour package that includes pickup and drop-off.
Tinchuley is known for its beautiful views and tea gardens, so the journey itself can be quite pleasant!
