How to get from Bagdogra to Kurseong

What would be the best (and fastest) way to get from Bagdogra to Kurseong?

I'm flying to Bagdogra and land there at 1 PM and will make a booking for a toy train from Kurseong to Darjeeling that departs from Kurseong at 3 PM. If there's no flight delay, I think I should be able to get there in time but am interested in what would be the fastest way to do it.

Best Answer

The Bagdogra airport is 12km west of Silguri, from there you can take a bus to Kurseong but according to my book it takes 2 hours for the ride. So even if you have no wait time, you can't make it in two hours on public transport.

A shared jeep between Kurseong and Siliguri takes 90min, so that may be an option. But you have to be lucky, as shared taxis usually wait until there are full before they leave.

So the only safe option seems to be a private cab.
