Booking Your Flights

 

Bagdogra Airport is the nearest domestic airport

Departure flights

Option 1: Arrive a day earlier and stay at a nearby hotel
This gives you a greater selection of flight options, with shorter layovers and less red-eye flights. Stay a night in Siliguri, and your driver can pick you up directly from your hotel. We are happy to provide tried-and-tested recommendations for hotels in Siliguri.

Option 2: Book a flight that arrives in Bagdogra Airport before 10:30AM on the first day of your trip
This allows sufficient time for the drive, inclusive of lunch and tea breaks, so that you can reach the homestay in time for dinner.

Return flights

Option 1: A more relaxed departure
Stay an extra night in Siliguri on the last day of your trip. You will have more options to choose from, in terms of duration, layovers, and price.

Option 2: Book a flight that departs from Bagdogra Airport after 5:00PM on the last day of your trip
Breakfast will be served between 7-8AM, and check-out will be latest by 9AM for you to make it for your flight.
