Location and Transport
Bagdogra Airport is a small airport set under 6 miles (9 kilometres) from the city of Siliguri, but it’s the main hub for reaching Darjeeling (40 miles/65 kilometres away) and Jalpaiguri (30 miles/48 kilometres away). There’s a pre-paid taxi booth in the airport and it’s best to arrange this beforehand, rather than negotiate a price with a driver. A taxi to Darjeeling will cost around INR 700–850, while a journey to Siliguri will cost about INR 225.
Nearby Hotels and Airport Facilities
If you’re looking for a place to stay between flights, there are hotels located within 3 miles (5 kilometres) of Bagdogra Airport, but there aren’t any with shuttle services, so it’s best to book a taxi to reach them. As Bagdogra is a small airport, there aren’t many facilities but you’ll find some shops, a restaurant and a few information desks.
