When your office picnic, factory worker group outing, or corporate annual event at Pujali involves 30 or more people, a private bus from Kolkata to Pujali is the only arrangement that makes logistical and financial sense. Individual cab bookings for 35 people from a factory gate means 8 to 10 separate vehicles, multiple departure times, some colleagues arriving 30 minutes after others, and an HR team managing a logistical headache before the picnic has even started. One private AC bus from Barakah Travels eliminates all of it. One vehicle, one driver, one factory gate pickup, everyone together from Kolkata to the Pujali riverside — and back. Barakah Travels provides 35 and 45 seater fully private AC buses for the Kolkata to Pujali route — with pushback reclining seats, a music system with microphone for group announcements and entertainment, and an experienced driver who handles large corporate and factory group outings on this route. Our packages include fuel, parking, and driver allowance in the quoted price.

For a factory picnic group of 40 people, a single bus pickup from the factory gate is the cleanest possible arrangement. One confirmed departure time, all employees board at the gate, the bus departs for Pujali, everyone arrives together. The HR or admin team makes one booking — not 10 individual cab bookings.
At 20 to 25 km from Kolkata, a 35-seater bus to Pujali delivers the lowest per-person vehicle cost in the entire Barakah Travels portfolio. Short distance, large group, single vehicle — the per-person number is minimal, making it the easiest line item to justify in a corporate picnic budget.
Every Barakah Travels bus has a music system with microphone. For a corporate picnic, the event organiser, MC, or HR manager can use the microphone on the bus for welcome announcements, schedule briefings, games on the way, and the kind of group engagement that starts the picnic atmosphere before the vehicle reaches Pujali.
Corporate picnics with staggered arrivals lose momentum before they start. When the bus brings 40 people to the Pujali ground at the same time, the event starts at the planned time with the full group. When it ends, the bus picks everyone up from the same point and no one is left waiting for a cab.
For factory groups of 60, 80, or 100 people, we arrange multiple buses departing simultaneously from the factory gate. Every bus is confirmed in the same booking, departs at the same time, and arrives at Pujali together. The coordination is managed by Barakah Travels — not the HR team on the day.
Pujali is a riverside town in South 24 Parganas — located just 20 to 25 km from Kolkata and Howrah on Diamond Harbour Road, on the eastern bank of the Hooghly. Known primarily as an industrial hub for firecracker and chemical manufacturing, Pujali also has riverside open grounds, ghats, and a raw, unhurried character that make it a practical and budget-friendly picnic destination for Kolkata groups who want a quick, easy outing without the traffic and distance of more famous destinations. For corporate groups, factory workers, office teams, and school picnics, Pujali offers something increasingly rare — a destination that is genuinely close to the city, requires minimal travel time, and yet delivers a completely different environment from the urban streets of Kolkata.




The Kolkata to Pujali route follows Diamond Harbour Road (SH 117) southward from Howrah and South Kolkata — the same road used for Gangasagar and Mousuni Island trips but only the first quarter of that journey. The road passes through Majerhat, then through the industrial southern suburbs of Kolkata, and into the Budge Budge-Pujali industrial belt on the Hooghly's eastern bank. The road is a mix of 2-lane and 4-lane sections. Traffic through the Majerhat and Budge Budge market areas can be heavy during weekday morning rush hours — a departure before 8 AM or after 10 AM avoids the worst of this. For weekend picnics and day trips, the road is typically clear and the drive takes well under an hour. The short distance is the defining characteristic of this route — it makes Pujali the most accessible day trip destination in the Barakah Travels portfolio and gives groups significantly more usable time at the destination.
