It is an easy drive, of about three/ three-and-a-half hours (driving time)
-
Travel north-west from Kolkata - along NH2/ AH1 (Delhi Road) - and finally, turn off the National Highway, heading due north ~
There are two possible routes:~
-
Via GUSKARA ~ Which is a shorter route, that travels along scenic paddy-fields, avoiding larger highways ~ Though this route has more habitation along the way, and can be in a bad condition during certain periods of the year.
-
Via PANAGARH ~ A relatively longer route (about 30 Kms more), that includes more of the larger highways ~ Heavy truck traffic can be a bother, at times, where people have been known to get held-up for hours.
You can see Google Map links below, as well as read (and download) driving directions, for both the routes...
