How To Reach Devi Stan Mandir

By Air: The nearest airport is Bagdogra Airport (IXB), located in Siliguri, approximately 55-60 KMS away from Mirik. Bagdogra has regular flight connectivity with major Indian cities like Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, and Guwahati. From the airport, one can hire a pre-paid taxi or a private cab directly to Mirik. The journey takes around 2 to 3 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions, offering picturesque views of tea gardens and forests along the way.

By Train: The nearest major railway station is New Jalpaiguri (NJP), also located near Siliguri, about 60 KMS from Mirik. NJP is a crucial railway hub, well-connected to most parts of India. From NJP, a similar approach to the airport journey is followed: hiring a taxi or pre-booked vehicle. The drive time is comparable to the airport route, offering a scenic ascent into the hills.

By Road: Mirik is exceptionally well-connected by road. It lies on the route connecting Darjeeling and the plains of Siliguri.

From Siliguri/NJP/Bagdogra: A comfortable drive of about 2 to 3 hours via the Rohini Road or the Pankhabari Road. Shared jeeps (locally known as 'sumos') and private taxis are readily available.

From Darjeeling: It's about 50 KMS, a drive of about 2 to 2. 5 hours. The Devi Stan Mandir is located only about 2. 0 KMS from the central Mirik Bus Stop.

By Local Transport (Within Mirik): Once in Mirik, the temple is a short distance from the lake area.

Walking: The best way to reach is by a pleasant walk of about 30-40 minutes from the Mirik Bus Stop or the main market area, following the path around Sumendu Lake and then walking up the hillock.

Local Taxis/Cabs: One can hire a local cab for the short distance to the base of the hill, though the final short ascent to the temple complex must be done on foot.
