Delhi to Siliguri by Train

New Jalpaiguri (NJP) is the main railway station for Siliguri. Long-distance trains run there from Delhi and the journey takes about a day, so most travelers choose an overnight berth. Trains leave from New Delhi (NDLS), Old Delhi (DLI) or Anand Vihar Terminal (ANVT), so check the station on your ticket. Book on the IRCTC website or app and look at the current timetable and fares, which differ by train and class.

AC First Class (1A) has lockable compartments, AC 2-Tier (2A) and AC 3-Tier (3A) have air-conditioned berths with bedding, and Sleeper (SL) is the non-AC budget class.

Tips for Traveling from Delhi to Siliguri

  • Book early: AC berths on long-distance trains sell out well ahead of travel, and flights get more expensive as the date nears.
  • Station names: The main railway station for Siliguri is New Jalpaiguri (NJP). Check which Delhi station your train leaves from.
  • Food and water: Carry water and dry snacks for the long train ride.
  • Onward journey: If you continue to Darjeeling or Gangtok, plan to arrive in daylight, because mountain roads are slower and harder to travel after dark.
