Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a direct flight from Dhaka to Bagdogra?

No. There are no direct flights from Dhaka to Bagdogra. All flights connect through Kolkata.

Do I need a visa for Bagdogra?

Yes. Bangladeshi citizens need a valid Indian visa. You’re entering India (not just transiting), so a proper tourist or medical visa is required. Currently, tourist visa availability is limited — check before booking.

How long is the total journey?

Including layover in Kolkata, expect 4-7 hours total. Same-day connections are available with SpiceJet. Some IndiGo routings require overnight stay in Kolkata.

What’s the minimum connection time in Kolkata?

We recommend at least 3 hours between flights. You’ll need to go through immigration, collect baggage, and re-check in for the domestic flight.

How do I get from Bagdogra to Darjeeling?

Pre-paid taxi from Bagdogra Airport takes 2.5-3 hours and costs ₹2,500-3,500. Shared jeeps are cheaper (₹250-350) but less comfortable for the winding mountain roads.

Do I need a permit for Sikkim?

Indian citizens don’t need a permit for most of Sikkim. However, foreign nationals (including Bangladeshis) need an Inner Line Permit (ILP) for Sikkim. This can be obtained in Siliguri or arranged through a travel agent. Certain areas like Nathula Pass require additional permits.

What if my Kolkata flight is delayed?

This is a risk with connecting flights. If you book through us, we monitor your flights and help rebook if there’s a disruption. That’s why we recommend leaving buffer time in your itinerary.

Is monsoon season safe for travel?

Monsoon (June-August) brings heavy rain and potential landslides on mountain roads. Flights may also be affected. We recommend avoiding this season for Darjeeling/Sikkim trips.

Can I fly Dhaka-Kolkata on Biman and book Kolkata-Bagdogra separately?

Yes, but it’s usually cheaper and more convenient to book the entire itinerary together. We can compare both options for you.
