With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Siliguri, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Hong Kong Market, Jalpaiguri Rajbari and ISKCON Temple. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Darjeeling, 40 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Tiger Hill. (But we’d also highly recommend Darjeeling Himalayan Railway and Raj Bhavan.)
