Network of Indian railways exist in Darjeeling district but the jewel in the crown is Darjeeling Himalayan Heritage Railway.This UNESCO declared train is a delight to ride.Many a movie has been screened in this train.The ride is mesmerizing and the route is second to none. This train route initiates and terminates at New Jalpaiguri Station which is linked to the rest of India with lots of trains.

The network of roads are good and all the spots have two or more route.The reasons may be many but the main reasons are firstly approach from any tourist location and secondly diversion necessary for landslides which are frequent in monsoons. Darjeeling or Kalimpong for example can be approached from Siliguri, Pelling, Dooars and Gangtok via different routes. State government buses and buses of Sikkim and Bhutan have frequent service from Siliguri one of the main town of Darjeeling district.
