2. Driving License (DL): A digital copy or original for verification.
3. Security Deposit: Usually ₹1,000 – ₹2,000 (fully refundable upon return).

5. Fuel: Most petrol bikes are provided with enough fuel to reach the nearest pump (usually near Ghoom or Lebong).

Strategic Riding Tips for Darjeeling

• The Steepness Factor: If you are riding pillion (two people), avoid the base 100cc scooters. Opt for a TVS Ntorq 125 or a 150cc+ bike to handle Darjeeling's steep 1:4 gradients.
• Parking: Parking is strictly regulated. Use the designated two-wheeler parking near Chowrasta or the DRC Car Parking on Hill Cart Road to avoid fines.
• Weather: In March, it can be misty. Ensure your rental has functioning fog lights and high-tread tires for potentially slippery roads.
