Build the cab plan around your trip.
Start by choosing the type of service: a one-way transfer, a return journey, a local sightseeing day or a multi-day taxi package. Your Tours & Travels can discuss the complete plan from its Siliguri office, with pickup points and overnight stops agreed before confirmation.
For a holiday with more than one base, use the taxi route directory to connect arrival, local travel and departure. A taxi-only budget is different from a holiday package with accommodation; ask for each inclusion in writing.
Local details worth planning around
Gangtok
Use Gangtok as a base for a local sightseeing day, then arrange Tsomgo Lake or North Sikkim separately. A city transfer does not automatically include restricted-area excursions, additional vehicle arrangements or permit processing.
Share the hotel location as well as its name. Ask whether the vehicle can reach the entrance or whether the meeting point is on a nearby accessible road.
Plan a Rumtek visit as its own outing
Rumtek Monastery is outside central Gangtok; the district guide places it around 23 km from town. If it matters to your trip, name it in the sightseeing request rather than assuming a generic city circuit includes it. Leave time to explore respectfully after the drive, and ask about access and any entry requirements. A short central-city tour and a Rumtek-side outing are different uses of the cab.
Local reference: Gangtok District — Rumtek Monastery.

Compare comfort, seats and luggage.
A hatchback or sedan can suit suitable town transfers for a smaller party. Compare a family MUV, Innova-category cab or specifically requested Crysta for a larger group or different comfort preference.
Category names do not establish permission for a particular road. Give the team your complete route and luggage count, and ask for the registered passenger capacity of the assigned vehicle.
Gangtok taxi service: transfers, sightseeing and car rental
Our Gangtok taxi service covers the three things most visitors need: the arrival transfer from Bagdogra Airport, NJP or Pakyong Airport; a Gangtok local sightseeing day (Rumtek, Enchey Monastery, Tashi Viewpoint, Ganesh Tok, Banjhakri Falls, MG Marg); and the permit-based excursions to Tsomgo Lake and Baba Mandir or Nathula Pass.
Gangtok car rental for longer trips
Gangtok is also the starting point for Lachung and Yumthang, Lachen and Gurudongmar, the Silk Route via Zuluk and the drive to Pelling or Darjeeling. For these, a Gangtok car rental on a per-day basis is simpler than booking separate drops. We quote per vehicle with driver allowance, fuel and tolls listed separately so there are no surprises.
Good to know
- Gangtok taxis for protected areas (Tsomgo, Nathula, North Sikkim) run through local operators under permit rules; we coordinate this for you.
- Hotels on MG Marg and in the old town are in no-vehicle or one-way zones — share your hotel name and we will agree a meeting point.
- Mountain roads: keep arrival-day plans light and allow 4–5 hours from Bagdogra.
Before you confirm
Are these live booking prices?
No. The displayed ranges are researched planning estimates. Your final written quote depends on travel date, direction, vehicle, pickup/drop addresses and inclusions.
Can I combine transfers and sightseeing?
Yes. Send the complete route and overnight stops. Ask for a named sightseeing plan and a complete vehicle allocation rather than assuming a direct transfer fare includes extra visits.
How do I confirm the cab?
Review the written vehicle and fare details, payment schedule and cancellation terms. Your enquiry alone does not reserve a vehicle. Keep the confirmation email or invoice after the agreed payment.
