Question 1

What is the price of an Umrah package from Siliguri?

Accepted Answer

Umrah packages from Siliguri start from approximately ₹92,000 per person for economy options. Since Bagdogra Airport (IXB) has no direct Jeddah service, packages route via Kolkata CCU — by domestic flight from IXB (~1 hour) or by road (~9–10 hours). Package pricing includes the Bagdogra–Kolkata domestic flight, return Jeddah international flights from CCU, Saudi Umrah visa, 3-star or higher hotels in Makkah and Madinah, and all Saudi airport transfers. Premium 5-star packages start from ₹2,62,000.

Question 2

How do Siliguri pilgrims travel to Kolkata Airport for Umrah?

Accepted Answer

The most practical option is a domestic flight from Bagdogra Airport (IXB) to Kolkata (CCU) — approximately 1 hour, with IndiGo, Air India, and SpiceJet operating multiple daily services. Bagdogra Airport is only 12 km from Siliguri city centre, making this a convenient starting point. From Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, direct Jeddah flights are available on IndiGo, Air India, and Saudi Arabian Airlines with a flight time of approximately 6 hours 30 minutes. Road travel (600 km, ~9–10 hours via NH27) is the alternative for groups who prefer coach travel and are departing on the morning of a Kolkata flight with sufficient time buffer.

Question 3

Do you serve pilgrims from the tea garden belt, Jalpaiguri, and Cooch Behar via Siliguri?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Siliguri is the Umrah coordination centre for all of North Bengal. We serve pilgrims from the Darjeeling district tea garden areas, Jalpaiguri (~65 km from Siliguri), Cooch Behar (~100 km), Alipurduar (~90 km), the Dooars forest belt, and the Terai. The tea garden Muslim community has a distinctive culture and a deep commitment to collective Umrah travel — many families save over several years to undertake the pilgrimage together. Our packages are sensitive to the economic circumstances of tea garden families and we offer flexible payment options where possible. Group transport from tea garden estates and foothills towns to Siliguri is coordinated for group bookings.

Question 4

Can North Bengal pilgrims depart from Guwahati instead of Kolkata?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Guwahati's Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU) in Assam is approximately 4 hours east of Siliguri on NH27 and has seasonal direct Jeddah flights operated by Air India and IndiGo. When these Guwahati–Jeddah services are running and if pilgrims from eastern North Bengal (Alipurduar, Cooch Behar, Jalpaiguri) find the Guwahati road more convenient than Bagdogra–Kolkata domestic, we offer Guwahati-departure package options. However, Kolkata remains the primary and most reliable Jeddah gateway for North Bengal, with better year-round frequency.

Question 5

What is the best time for Umrah from Siliguri?

Accepted Answer

October to February is the best Umrah season for Siliguri and North Bengal pilgrims — Makkah temperatures are mild and the Terai region is at its most accessible in the dry winter months. North Bengal's monsoon (June–September) brings heavy rainfall and occasional flooding in the Dooars and Terai areas, making road travel from tea gardens and foothills towns more difficult — the domestic flight option from Bagdogra is strongly preferred during this period. Ramadan Umrah (typically March–April) is highly desired and must be booked 4–5 months in advance. The tea garden harvest season in autumn (September–November) is a busy period for the local economy but typically does not conflict with Umrah planning.
