Common questions
How much is a taxi in Sikkim?
Fares depend on the route and the car. The table on this page lists today's one-way fare per car for every Sikkim and Darjeeling route we run, for example Bagdogra Airport or NJP to Gangtok. Fares are per vehicle and before 5% GST.
Is the taxi fare per person or per car?
Per car. A hatchback or sedan seats 4 and an SUV seats 6, so the cost per person falls as the group grows. Fares include the driver and fuel.
Do taxi fares in Sikkim change during the year?
Yes. Fares change by season, so the table is read from our current rate card each time the page loads and is dated. Check the route page for the exact fare on your dates.
Is a round trip double the one-way fare?
A round trip is two transfers, there and back, like a return flight, so it is priced as two one-way journeys. If you want a car with you every day, book a tour package instead.
Do any of these routes need a permit?
Indian visitors need no permit for most of Sikkim. Tsomgo Lake, Nathula, North Sikkim and Zuluk need a protected area permit, which we arrange with the booking.
