Buses are not directly available from Bagdogra to Samsing. If you want a bus, you can go up to Siliguri. From Siliguri’s P.C Mittal Bus Stand, you will get buses which are running to Samsing. As you can see, you have to change multiple vehicles to finally reach Samsing which makes the journey quite hectic.
A shared taxi is also not available from Bagdogra to Samsing. However, pre-paid taxis are available but in a limited quantity. As a result, it is hard to find a perfect car in the exact car fare. But if you opt for the Himalayan Wheels car rental service, you can directly reach Samsing from Bagdogra quite comfortably.
Samsing does not have a railway station and the nearest railway station is Chalsa which is just 23 km away from Samsing. Chalsa is nicely connected with Bagdogra by rail track. Therefore, you can get a train from Bagdogra to Samsing. But the train journey is not for you if your time does not match the train’s timing.
Samsing does not have an airport either. The nearest airport is Bagdogra itself at a distance of 95km. So after arriving at Bagdogra, you have to again take a pre-paid taxi. We always suggest you take a car from Himalayan Wheels and we have already mentioned the reasons for this.
