How to Plan Your Pandal-Hopping Route
With nine pandals spread across different neighbourhoods, visiting every location in an arbitrary order may mean spending extra time travelling. A little preparation can help make your outing smoother.
Group pandals by area
Check the location of each pandal before deciding your order. Consider visiting nearby destinations together rather than repeatedly travelling between North and South Kolkata.
Check how to reach each pandal
Use Agomonii to explore transit directions from your current location to a chosen pandal. This helps you understand how to begin your journey before heading out.
Explore nearby transport

Leave room for delays
Durga Puja traffic, queues, walking distances, and diversions can affect your plans. Allow extra time between stops and check current transport schedules before travelling, particularly late in the evening.
