What a tempo traveller suits
Weddings, temple circuits, corporate offsites and family holidays — anywhere splitting a group across several cars would mean arriving at different times. Seats recline, there is proper luggage space at the back, and the 17-seater Urbania adds more legroom on longer drives.
For trips around Darjeeling itself, the 4 hour/40 km and 8 hour/80 km packages keep the vehicle and driver with you all day, which works better than booking separate journeys when the schedule keeps moving.

When is the best time to visit Darjeeling?
March to May, October to December is generally the most comfortable window, both for the weather and for road conditions.
Are there any hidden charges?
No. Fuel and the driver allowance are already in the fare you are shown. The only extras are tolls, state entry taxes and parking, which are charged at actual cost, plus a ₹300 night charge for pickups after 10 PM.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancel free of charge up to 1 hour before pickup and you pay nothing — the same promise you see at checkout. Inside that last hour the driver is usually already on the way, so the driver allowance is deducted and the rest refunded. Round trips are free to cancel up to 24 hours before pickup; inside that, one day is charged.
Is the cab available 24/7 in Darjeeling?
Yes — we run around the clock in Darjeeling, including early-morning airport departures and late-night arrivals. A ₹300 night charge applies to pickups after 10 PM.
