Getting to Kolkata

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Delhi → Kolkata

flight · 2.5h

₹5,000

1 way / person

Delhi → Kolkata

train · 17h

₹800

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Delhi → Kolkata by train. Return for two works out to about ₹3,200 — so a whole trip lands near ₹12,330 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Kolkata's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
