Mirik is connected by road with Siliguri, New Jalpaiguri, Bagdogra, Darjeeling and Kurseong. Shared and private vehicles operate on these routes, though travel time changes with traffic, weather and road conditions.
If you are arriving by train or air, arrange the final road journey from New Jalpaiguri or Bagdogra.
