Kolaghat, situated on the banks of the Rupnarayan River, is the most popular quick getaway from Kolkata. Located just 75 km away on NH16, it is famous for its riverside dhabas, premium resorts, and the legendary Hilsa (Ilish) fish. It serves as both a transit point for travelers heading to Digha and a standalone destination for foodies and families seeking a serene riverside outing.




The route from Kolkata to Kolaghat is a straight, high-speed run on the NH16 (popularly known as Mumbai Road). It is one of the best-maintained highway stretches in Eastern India, featuring 4-6 lanes throughout. The journey begins with the Vidyasagar Setu (Second Hooghly Bridge) or the Kona Expressway. Once on NH16, the drive is smooth with minimal bottlenecks, except for occasional congestion near the Santragachi rail overbridge. The most scenic part is the approach to the Rupnarayan Bridge just before entering Kolaghat. This bridge offers a panoramic view of the river that marks the entry into the East Midnapore district. The route is exceptionally well-supported by emergency services, fuel stations, and multiple high-end food plazas and resorts that cater specifically to the Kolkata weekend crowd. Our drivers are trained to choose the fastest lanes and are familiar with the best entry points for all major resorts, ensuring you spend less time on the road and more time by the river.
