Moving a group of 12 to 26 people over a distance of 560 km is a challenge. Splitting into multiple small cars leads to convoy delays, while trains can be difficult to book for large groups. A Barakah Travels tempo traveller from Kolkata to Siliguri is the most efficient and comfortable solution. Our fleet of Force Travellers is specifically chosen for long-haul endurance. With fully air-conditioned cabins, premium pushback reclining seats, and high-quality suspension, the 13-14 hour journey becomes a pleasurable experience for your group. Whether you are heading to the Darjeeling hills, the forests of Dooars, or the spiritual centers of Sikkim, our tempo traveller ensures your group stays together, shares the fun, and reaches Siliguri refreshed and ready for adventure.

Traveling in one vehicle means the fun starts at your doorstep. Share music, snacks, and stories together as you cross the plains of Bengal.
The price we quote includes everything — fuel, all tolls (Farakka Barrage included), parking, and driver bata. One bill, no surprises.
For a journey that lasts over 12 hours, pushback reclining seats aren't a luxury — they are a necessity. Our fleet ensures every passenger can rest comfortably.
A 560 km trip is a test for any vehicle. We perform a rigorous 20-point mechanical check before every Siliguri departure to ensure zero breakdowns.
Siliguri is the strategic gateway to North Bengal, the North-Eastern states of India, and neighboring countries like Bhutan and Nepal. Located 560 km from Kolkata, it is the starting point for almost every trip to Darjeeling, Sikkim, and the Dooars region. Known for its bustling markets, tea gardens, and timber trade, Siliguri offers a vibrant metropolitan experience at the base of the mountains.

The Kolkata to Siliguri route via NH12 is the primary lifeblood of West Bengal's connectivity. After massive infrastructure upgrades, much of the route is now 4-lane highway. The journey begins with the high-speed Kalyani Expressway or NH12 towards Krishnanagar. The stretch through Nadia and Murshidabad districts is smooth but requires caution near busy town intersections. Crossing the Farakka Barrage is a major milestone, though it can experience heavy truck traffic. Malda is the midway point and a popular lunch or overnight stop. After Malda, the road enters North Bengal, passing through Raiganj and Islampur (which now features a modern bypass) before reaching the Siliguri plains. The route is well-supported by dhabas, fuel stations, and rest stops.
