Celebrate the Spirit of Kolkata During Durga Puja (28 Sept – 2 Oct 2025)

Sign Up for the Trip

Experience the city of Kolkata during Durga Puja – when the lanes light up, the air buzzes with dhak rhythms, and the city itself becomes a living, breathing canvas of culture, devotion, and culinary abundance. This isn’t just a festival. It’s five days of full-hearted celebration — across art, food, fashion, music, and storytelling.

Walk with us through Kolkata’s most iconic pandals, discover hidden Bonedi Baris (old aristocratic homes) where Pujo traditions have lived for generations, taste bhog cooked with devotion, and learn how this city celebrates the Goddess in ways both ancient and avant-garde.

What to Expect

This 5-day experience is designed for those who want to go deeper — beyond sightseeing and into immersive participation. From street food trails and curated meals to conversations with local storytellers, artists, and aesthetes, this is your window into the soul of Kolkata during Durga Puja.

You’ll witness how Navratri in Kolkata unfolds with rhythm, colour, and unmistakable Bengali flair — whether in a bustling neighbourhood pandal or over dinner at a heritage home.

What This Experience Includes 

  • Guided Pandal Hopping: Visit Kolkata’s most celebrated community pandals, each telling a story through idol design, architecture, and ambience.
  • Bonedi Bari Puja Experience: Step into heritage homes that have kept Pujo traditions alive for centuries. Share a bhog lunch with the family and hear their stories first-hand.
  • Street Food Walk: Explore Kolkata’s iconic lanes and taste festival-time classics –  from shingara and ghugni to mishti doi and cutlets.
  • Lunch at a charming Cafe & Marwari Food: Two curated meals that showcase the city’s layered culinary heritage, from new-age fusion to ancestral favourites.
  • Art Over Dinner: Engage in a quiet evening with a Kolkata-based curator – where food, conversation, and aesthetics come together.
  • Immersion Day: Be part of the final day’s rituals and witness the Goddess’s symbolic departure through local immersion ceremonies.
