Kolkata, West Bengal · Every September to October
Durga Puja in Kolkata
A city becomes a gallery of thousands of art pandals for five nights, then walks its goddess to the river.
On now until October 31
What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Kolkata for September 15 to October 31, 2026, round trips of 4 to 7 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Go pandal hopping after 11 pm when the family crowds thin, and in south Kolkata for the most ambitious builds.
- Book a hotel months out; the city is full and rates double.
- Kolkata airport is 17 km from the centre; the metro and taxis are the way in, and the roads seize up after dark on puja nights.
