Train Guide
Sikkim has no railway station of its own. Here's exactly how to get there by train, step by step.
New Jalpaiguri (NJP) is the nearest major railway station to Sikkim. Most travelers arrive here by train from across India.
From NJP, take a private cab or shared taxi to Gangtok — approximately 4–5 hours of scenic mountain driving.
Pick a verified homestay or hotel in Gangtok (or onward to Pelling, Lachung, Lachen) for a smooth first night.
Indicative fares. Always check IRCTC for live availability and current pricing.
