How Traveling to Thawe and Siliguri will be luxurious?
Bihar: The Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation (BSTDC) has taken a major step to facilitate tourists and promote tourism in the state. The corporation has launched two new interstate and one inter-district luxury bus services under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
The new services will make travel to religious sites in Northeast India and North Bihar easier and more comfortable. Bihari tourists traveling to Sikkim, Darjeeling, and Gangtok, as well as pilgrims visiting the Thawe Temple, will benefit from this service.
Route Chart of Both Buses
The corporation operates buses on two routes. Two buses, an up-and-down 2×2 luxury sleeper bus, departing from R Block, Patna, at 7:30 pm via Purnia and Kishanganj (via Hajipur, Muzaffarpur, and Darbhanga) to Siliguri, and returning to Patna via Kishanganj and Purnia at 6:30 pm.
The fare for this bus is ₹900 per passenger. Additionally, a 2×2-seater luxury bus from Patna to Gopalganj will depart from R Block at 3:30 pm via Patna, Masrakh, Malmalia, and Siwan to Thawe and Gopalganj, and return from Gopalganj to Patna at 5:40 am. The fare is ₹250.
Benefits of Bus Operations(Traveling to Thawe and Siliguri will be luxurious)
Since the launch of this bus service, travel to major religious and tourist destinations in Northeast India has become more accessible, affordable, and comfortable for the people of North Bihar and throughout Bihar. In particular, Bihari tourists traveling to popular hill stations and scenic destinations like Sikkim, Gangtok, Darjeeling, Pelling, Lachung-Lachen, Gurudongmar Lake, and Yumthang Valley are now able to reach their destinations directly by bus, avoiding the hassles of long train journeys or expensive flights.
Furthermore, the launch of this bus service is providing unprecedented benefits to pilgrims traveling to and from the famous Thawe Temple (Gopalganj). Their journey has now become more convenient, economical, and less tiring than ever before.
Bus Numbers to Increase
Nand Kishore, General Manager of the Tourism Development Corporation, stated that for the first time, the Bihar government has launched direct bus services on these two routes. Previously, passengers traveling on these routes had to change to buses operated by private operators.
He also stated that after the successful operation of the bus service, if the number of tourists increases, the number of buses will be increased.
