No, there are no such transports... only private taxis.

Hi, is it possible to travel to Kalimpong or Rangpo from Kurseong. If yes, what are the options? From where can the cabs be booked?
Raj (darjeeling-tourism.com) April 2021
Yes, you can visit Kalimpong or Ragpo from Kurseong... the usual route is via Ghum/ Jorebungalow, Peshok Road and across Teesta bridge. You can get taxis at the stand next to the toy train station area.

Hi, I am planning to visit Kurseong and Latpanchet in next month. Being a solo travel I prefer to travel by shared cab or bused. Can you please help me out with a couple of information
1. From where I can get a shared cab/ bus to reach Kurseong from NJP/Siliguri and if possible from when.
2. I have a plan to go to Latpanchar/ Ahaldara next day from Kurseong; and for that from where I can get a shared mode of transportation ( break journey also would be fine for me if any).
Thanks in advance !!!

Hi, All buses and shared cabs bound for Darjeeling pass through Kurseong. You can get shared cabs from outside NJP station or opposite the Siliguri Central Bus Stand (also known as Tenzing Norgay Bus Stand) on Hill Cart Road, buses too are available in Siliguri at this bus stand. Shared taxis are usually available from 7am till 2:30pm. There is no bus from Kurseong to Latpanchar or Ahaldara. There are occasional shared taxis from Kurseong taxi stand to Latpanchar, but you may not always get that. In such a situation, you will need to book a private taxi.

I have always been one optimistic local, always believing that someday Kurseong's time will come to be vividly noticed as a prime destination in Darjeeling hills which it is not so today. I as a local feel it's a great destination with the town a sleepy one but with a great vibrant natural surrounding that is not cramped for space. Its spacious as only nature should be. On the whole Kurseong is just like Darjeeling but it needs people to visit it sometimes and discover its quiet and pleasant solitude.

Dear Raj, Your every note is splendid and I have gone through all your threads. Congratulations.
I have a few queries. 1. From NJP station or Darjeeling more will I be able to get cars for kurseong or is there any other stand? 2. Is there any bus service between kurseong and siliguri? 3. What is the time of shuttle cars between kurseong and siliguri and siliguri to kurseong?

Hello, from NJP station you will get cabs (both reserved and shared) to Kurseong. Buses between Siliguri and Darjeeling ply through Kurseong. The shared taxis (shuttles) between Siliguri and Kurseong (and onward to Darjeeling) operate almost every hour during the day time. The timing actually depends mostly on when it gets full.

Do we get shared jeep to Kurseong from NJP or Silliguri bus stand & where does it drop us at Kurseong.
Raj (darjeeling-tourism.com) March 2016
Yes, all shared jeeps to Darjeeling (from NJP and Siliguri) go via Kurseong. You can get dropped at Kurseong taxi stand, train station or along its route anywhere (like at Kurseong Tourist Lodge on Hill Cart road etc). There would be few jeeps that go only up to Kurseong stand.
