Transport options around Hindustan Park
From Hindustan Park, you can plan city trips around suburban rail, the metro and road journeys. The right option depends on where you are going; central destinations may call for a longer walk or a car journey. If you’re arriving by air, the journey from Kolkata airport to Hindustan Park is another route to plan.
For your first rail-based trip, consider how the station connects with your destination. Ballygunge Junction, Dhakuria and Lake Gardens are all stations on Eastern Railway’s suburban network. The separate metro and suburban rail networks mean it helps to check the complete route rather than assume a station serves every destination.

Kolkata Metro’s Blue and Green lines serve a range of city stations, including several useful central stops.
