Common Mistakes Travelers Should Avoid

  • Booking taxis from unauthorized agents near Mall Road or Chowk Bazaar without verification.
  • Not checking the driver’s hill-driving experience for routes like Tiger Hill, Ghoom, or Mirik.
  • Assuming all vehicles can go to Sikkim or North Bengal — these need special permits.
  • Not clarifying inclusions like fuel, parking, driver allowance, or night stay charges.
  • Forgetting to carry ID proof for passengers — required for restricted points like Tiger Hill sunrise gate.
  • Paying full fare upfront instead of a small advance — always pay balance after the trip.
