Fly from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport to Indira Gandhi International Airport. Allow roughly 5–7 hours door to door for the airport run in Ahmedabad, check-in and security, the flight, baggage collection, and Delhi traffic; compare the full flight cost with a train before booking, since the train takes much of the day. For this plan, choose a flight that lands by early afternoon. From the airport, a prepaid cab or app-based taxi is easiest; the Metro can be cheaper if your luggage is manageable, but leave extra time for the connection into central Delhi.
Have a relaxed lunch and browse the colonnades at Connaught Place for about 1.5 hours. There are plenty of casual options around the Inner and Outer Circles; budget roughly ₹250–700 per person. Then take a cab or auto to India Gate—allow around 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, and about an hour to see the landmark and walk its broad public grounds. The grounds are generally open to visitors, but access and traffic restrictions can change, so check locally before setting out.
Continue by cab or Metro to Dilli Haat INA for 1.5–2 hours of craft stalls and regional snacks. It is typically open into the evening, but check current hours and entry arrangements before you go; keep around ₹200–500 per person for food, with crafts extra. This is a full day after the flight, so allow for Delhi’s evening traffic and trim browsing time rather than rushing between stops if your arrival is delayed.
Allow 6–9 hours door to door for today’s travel and airport procedures, so the Siliguri outing works best if your flight lands early; schedules and fares for November 2026 should be checked closer to departure. After reaching NJP Railway Station, take 30–45 minutes to orient yourself and confirm any onward rail arrangements before heading into town. If your arrival is delayed, keep the market visit short rather than rushing the temple.
From NJP Railway Station, take a taxi or auto-rickshaw into central Siliguri to Hong Kong Market on Hill Cart Road; allow roughly 1–1.5 hours to browse its lively lanes. Trading hours can vary by shop and day, so check locally before setting out. Bargaining is common, and the narrow, busy lanes are easier to explore with a small bag and cash for smaller purchases.
Continue by taxi toward ISKCON Siliguri on Sevoke Road for about an hour in the peaceful temple complex. Access and worship timings can vary, so check the day’s schedule before travelling. Finish with a relaxed meal at a local restaurant nearby; budget around ₹200–500 per person. If the travel day runs late, check the temple’s access window first and save the market for another visit.
