The Sundarbans, Bishnupur, Shantiniketan, Mandarmani and Digha are within about 200 km of Kolkata, Puri is an overnight train, and Darjeeling and Sikkim are reached by an overnight train to New Jalpaiguri or a flight to Bagdogra.
Kolkata is the natural base for Darjeeling, Sikkim and Meghalaya trips, all considerably closer from here than from most of the rest of India. Overnight trains to New Jalpaiguri or a short flight to Bagdogra cover the hills.
Closer in, Digha, Mandarmani, Shantiniketan and the Sundarbans are road trips, and Puri is an overnight train. Andaman, Goa and international trips work well by flight.
Getting the group there: For Darjeeling, Sikkim and the Northeast, we can combine a flight or overnight train with local road transport once your group lands, and handle both legs as one plan.

FAQs for travellers from Kolkata
The Sundarbans, Bishnupur, Shantiniketan, Mandarmani and Digha are all within about 200 km and work as one or two night trips.
Take an overnight train to New Jalpaiguri (NJP) or a flight to Bagdogra, then about 3 hours by road to Darjeeling or 4 to 5 hours to Gangtok.
It's tight but possible with a flight to Bagdogra, more comfortable as a 3 to 4 day trip if your schedule allows it.
Sikkim and Darjeeling are the easiest by overnight train, and Meghalaya is a strong pick by flight into Guwahati, with Shillong about 3 hours by road from there.
Share your destination, dates and budget, and say whether you want travel from Kolkata included or only the stays and local transport. The plan and quote should name each included service. Flights, train seats, hotels and activities are subject to availability until confirmed.
Compare the same dates, hotel category, room sharing, meals and vehicle type. Ask what costs extra, including transfers, entry tickets and activities. Get availability, the payment schedule and cancellation terms in writing before paying; these depend on the services booked.
Gozy Trips is a travel agency based in India that plans trips for travellers from Kolkata. Planning happens on WhatsApp and phone, so there is no office visit: share your dates, group size and budget and get a day by day plan with a written quote. For group trips, the pickup point in your area is agreed when you book.
Check that the agency has a Google Business Profile with reviews that name the destination, group type or hotel, ask for an itemised written quote (hotel or category per night, room type, meals, vehicle type), get the payment and cancellation terms in writing before you pay, and be wary of prices far below everyone else for the same hotel category. Our guide on choosing a travel agency lists nine checks.
