Tenzing Norgay Bus Terminus

The Tenzing Norgay Central Bus Terminus is one of the largest and most important bus terminals in North Bengal. It is located on Hill Cart Road, Siliguri, District Darjeeling, adjacent to the Siliguri Junction railway station,[1] about 6 kilometers from New Jalpaiguri Railway Station. Both state owned North Bengal State Transport Corporation (NBSTC) buses and private buses ply from here. The terminus is named after Nepali mountaineer Tenzing Norgay who was a resident of the Darjeeling District.[2][3][4]

In August 2017 the state government announced its plan to shift the private buses operations to a proposed new site nearby and upgrade the terminus to international standards.[5]
