Luxury holidays in Kolkata
When to go
To avoid summer heat and heavy storms, it’s best to visit between September and June.
Getting there
-
Planes
Fly to Kolkata with Air India, Etihad or Emirates. There are few direct international flights, so you’ll need to connect in Dubai, New Delhi or Mumbai. -
Trains
The state of West Bengal is your oyster from Kolkata Railway Station – it’s large, modern and well-served. -
Automobiles
Leave driving to the professionals here – the best way to get around is by hailing one of the ubiquitous and affordable bright yellow taxis; negotiate a price before setting off.
