Get your bags, walk out of arrivals at Bagdogra Airport (IXB), and collect your rental car. Which one you hop into depends on where you’ll be going. If you’ll be mostly driving in downtown Siliguri, around 7 miles from the terminal, you’ll want something zippy and small. A compact car that’s easy to handle will be perfect for navigating those busy city streets. But with so many things to see, like the beautiful mangroves of the region, you’ll probably be clocking up a few miles. A larger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make longer road trips a pleasure.
