My personal experience was on the bike, if you love to explore or you want a better view experience or you love adventure, I would definitely suggest you go on a bike ride and feel the place, the roads are insane, at many points you can experience off-roading so it's a little dangerous too so if you are an experienced rider than only dare to go on a bike because safety comes first.

The later one is chosen by the riders mostly, so if you are planning to go on a bike you can choose Pabong & Yangang  for amazing offroading experience and adventurous roads
The approximate duration from Bagdogra to the Buddha Park is 3 hr 50min (128km).
