September is an excellent month to visit Darjeeling because the monsoon season is starting to wind down. Known as the Queen of the Hills, Darjeeling is one of the most breathtaking hill stations in the nation. The many tea estates, historical sites, and breathtaking natural landscapes that Darjeeling offers are what make it so beautiful. You can visit a plethora of Darjeeling tourist attractions. Despite being a well-known hill station for hundreds of years, fresh secret locations are nevertheless discovered here on a regular basis.
The closest airport to Darjeeling is Bagdogra, but as it’s not an international airport, you would need to take a connecting flight from Kolkata or Guwahati. Taking a taxi outside the airport to Darjeeling takes about three hours. Travelling by train is common, and one well-known choice is the toy train. After disembarking at New Jalpaiguri station, taxis, buses, and the toy train can all readily transport you to Darjeeling. Private and state-run buses are available for travel to Darjeeling via road. Buses are available in Kolkata, which is the ideal place to start. Cabs and buses, however, might not go from Siliguri or Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling.
