Durga Puja Pandal Hopping in Kolkata by Bike or Scooter: Routes, Parking & Safety Tips

Durga Puja turns Kolkata into a city of lights, crowds, food and celebrations. From the traditional pujas of North Kolkata to the elaborate theme pandals of South Kolkata and the growing Puja circuit around Salt Lake and New Town, there is something to discover in almost every part of the city. If you are planning to go pandal hopping on a bike or scooter, having your own two-wheeler can make it easier to move between different areas. But Puja traffic is very different from a normal day. Roads can become crowded, routes may be diverted and some stretches may be restricted to vehicles. The trick is not to try to ride right up to every pandal. Instead, plan your evening by area, park at a convenient and permitted location, and walk between nearby pandals. Here is a practical guide to pandal hopping in Kolkata by bike or scooter.
