routeRoute: Kolkata → Gangtok
The journey from Kolkata to Gangtok is a marathon across the diverse geography of Eastern India. The first leg from Kolkata to Siliguri follows the NH12 corridor across the Bengal plains, crossing the massive Farakka Barrage. From Siliguri, the terrain changes dramatically as you enter the Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary and reach Sevoke. Here, the NH10 begins, winding along the steep banks of the emerald-green Teesta River. Crossing the Coronation Bridge area provides stunning photo opportunities. The route enters Sikkim at the Rangpo border checkpost, where mandatory vehicle entry and state tax formalities are managed. The final 40 km climb from Rangpo to Gangtok is through lush green mountains, cascading waterfalls, and small mountain hamlets. Our drivers are specialists in this specific mountain corridor, ensuring safety during the winding curves of NH10.
