Why plan a wedding in Siliguri
Siliguri is where almost every guest arrives. Bagdogra International Airport is 12 km from the city, and New Jalpaiguri (NJP) is the largest railway station in North-East India, so families travelling from across the country can reach a Siliguri wedding without a long onward journey.
Its hotels and banquet venues make it the natural choice for large weddings, and a practical base for a celebration that also travels into the hills: functions in Siliguri, the wedding in Darjeeling or Kalimpong, or a weekend in the Dooars.
KHASKEL is based nearby in Jalpaiguri, so local vendors, venues and logistics are close at hand. We plan, organise, manage and execute the celebration as one team, so your family can be present for what matters.

Questions about weddings in Siliguri
Do you plan weddings in Siliguri itself?
Yes. We plan and execute weddings in Siliguri, and use it as the base for celebrations in Darjeeling, Kalimpong, the Dooars and the rest of North Bengal.
How far is Siliguri from Darjeeling?
Darjeeling is about 77 km from Siliguri. Allow around three hours by road, as the hill roads are slower than the distance suggests.
What is the best time for a wedding in Siliguri?
October to March. Summers are hot and humid, and the monsoon from June to September brings heavy rain, so celebrations in those months are best planned indoors or under cover.
Can you manage guests flying into Bagdogra?
Yes. We coordinate airport and station transfers, welcome desks, luggage and function-wise transport schedules, so guest arrivals are organised from the moment they land.
Do you offer full wedding planning or only décor?
We offer both. You can choose end-to-end wedding planning or design and décor execution only, depending on your needs and how involved you would like to be.
