Local knowledge for Darjeeling
Where to stay
Chowrasta and the streets branching off Nehru Road hold most of the budget guesthouses, and you can walk to the toy train station, Glenary's, and the morning market from any of them. Laden La Road runs downhill toward the lower bazaar and has cheaper rooms if you don't mind the climb back up.
Getting around
- Book your Tiger Hill sunrise jeep the evening before from Chowk Bazaar, not through your hostel. You'll pay roughly half the tout price and share the ride with locals.
- Happy Valley Tea Estate on Lebong Cart Road offers free walks through the gardens during flush season. Skip the overpriced packaged tea at tourist shops and buy loose leaf at Nathmulls on Laden La Road instead.
- Shared jeeps to Siliguri (for the train to Kolkata or Delhi) leave from Clubside stand and cost a fraction of private taxis. NH10 can close after heavy rain, so build a buffer day if you have a flight.
When to go
Hostels fill up and prices spike in March through May and again in October and November. July and August are the cheapest months, but landslides on NH10 can strand you, so factor that risk in.
