Everything about moving from Siliguri to Kolkata — realistic charges, how long it takes, what to pack yourself, and how to keep your goods safe on the road.
A Siliguri to Kolkata household move typically costs ₹12,000–₹28,000 for a 1–2BHK and ₹22,000–₹40,000 for a 3BHK, and takes 1–3 days in transit. The price depends on volume, packing level and whether you share a truck or book a dedicated one.
Siliguri to Kolkata is one of the most common relocation routes in West Bengal — students, transferred employees and families move along it every week. Here's a practical guide so your move goes smoothly and you pay a fair price.
How much does it cost?
- 1 BHK: ₹12,000 – ₹20,000
- 2 BHK: ₹16,000 – ₹28,000
- 3 BHK: ₹22,000 – ₹40,000
- Add a car: +₹8,000 – ₹15,000 · Add a bike: +₹3,500 – ₹6,000
Sharing a truck (part-load) is cheaper but slower; a dedicated vehicle costs more and is faster and safer for fragile loads.
How long does it take?
The road distance is roughly 560–580 km. Transit is usually 1–3 days: a dedicated vehicle can do door-to-door in about a day, while a shared/part-load consignment takes 2–3 days as it consolidates other goods.
What to pack and carry yourself
- Jewellery, cash, important documents and laptops — always self-carry.
- An essentials bag: a few clothes, chargers, medicines, toiletries.
- Defrost and dry the fridge 24 hours before the move.
Keep your goods safe on the road
- 1Choose multi-layer packing for the long-distance journey — single-layer is fine locally but not for 560 km.
- 2Take transit insurance for higher-value households.
- 3Get a GPS-tracked vehicle so you know where your goods are.
- 4Verify and keep the consignment note / inventory list signed.
