Plan my Namchi trip

Getting to Namchi

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Gangtok → Namchi

shared jeep · 3h

₹220

1 way / person

Gangtok → Namchi

cab · 2.5h

₹1,800

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Gangtok → Namchi by shared jeep. Return for two works out to about ₹880 — so a whole trip lands near ₹6,513 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Namchi's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
