Choose the right vehicle
The right car for your group and route
The right vehicle depends on the number of passengers, luggage, route and season – not just the cheapest price.
Sedan or 4-seater
A comfortable choice for couples and small families on many lower-altitude Sikkim and Darjeeling routes.
SUV or 6–7 seater
Additional cabin and luggage space for larger families and groups, and better suited to demanding mountain roads.
High-altitude routes
For Nathula, Tsomgo and North Sikkim, vehicle eligibility must be confirmed before booking – we check this for you.

Frequently asked questions
Do you pick up from Bagdogra Airport and NJP Railway Station?
Yes. For visitors arriving through Bagdogra Airport or New Jalpaiguri Railway Station, we pick up our guests and drive them along the scenic roads leading to Sikkim and Darjeeling. Whether you are visiting Gangtok, Pelling, Namchi, Jorethang, Lachung, Lachen or any other destination in Sikkim, we can drive you there.
Should I book my car rental in advance?
Yes, especially if you are travelling during peak holiday periods, winter, festivals or other busy seasons. Advance booking gives you more choice of vehicle and allows time to organise permits and route arrangements where required.
Is a chauffeur-driven car better than self-driving in Sikkim?
For most first-time visitors, a chauffeur-driven car is more convenient. Sikkim has winding mountain roads, steep sections and changing weather conditions. Local drivers also have better knowledge of routes and destination-specific restrictions.
Do I need a permit to visit North Sikkim or Nathula Pass?
Yes. Protected and high-altitude areas such as Lachung, Yumthang, Zero Point and Nathula Pass require the applicable permits, obtained through a registered travel agency. Requirements can change, so confirm the latest rules before departure. Nevana Travels coordinates the travel permissions required for North Sikkim journeys.
How much does a car rental in Sikkim cost?
The cost depends on the vehicle type, number of passengers, travel dates, route, number of days and sightseeing requirements. High-altitude destinations may also have separate permit or vehicle-related requirements. Always request a detailed quotation with inclusions before confirming.
Can I combine Darjeeling and Sikkim in one trip?
Yes. Instead of arranging separate cars, hotels and sightseeing independently, you can choose a customized Darjeeling and Sikkim tour package based on your travel dates, group size, preferred destinations and budget.
