Jeep fare board

What the road really costs

Shared jeeps (Sumos, Boleros, Maxx) leave from stands in Siliguri, NJP and each hill town when every seat is sold. Reserved cars cost the whole vehicle. These fares come from our route pages.

From our route pages. Fares change with fuel prices, season and demand: check current status before you travel.

SharedTen seats, one price

Front seats sell first and sometimes cost a little more. Buy at the stand counter, not from touts. Luggage goes on the roof under a tarpaulin.

ReservedA car of your own

Agree the price, stops and waiting time before you leave. Rates rise in October and May and around festivals.

TimingLeave by early afternoon

Most shared jeeps up the hill stop by mid-afternoon, and landslides slow the monsoon months. Check current status before you travel.
