Kolkata is the closest metro to the North East and the traditional gateway to the entire region. Short flights and even rail links make it the most convenient starting point of all. TripTrix Voyages plans the complete ground experience for Kolkata travellers and agents at net rates.
Getting there from Kolkata
Kolkata has frequent short direct flights to Guwahati (about 1 hour) and Bagdogra (about 1 hour), plus overnight trains to New Jalpaiguri (for Darjeeling and Sikkim). This proximity makes short breaks and weekend-plus trips genuinely feasible.
Best itineraries for Kolkata travellers
Thanks to the short hop, a 4–5 night Sikkim–Darjeeling or Meghalaya escape is easy from Kolkata. Longer trips can cover Assam–Arunachal or a full Seven Sisters loop.
When to go
October–April is best region-wide; the short flight also makes a monsoon Meghalaya waterfall trip an easy long weekend from Kolkata.
