Durga Puja 2026 cab packages in Kolkata
Durga Puja 2026 runs from Maha Shashthi on Saturday 17 October to Vijaya Dashami on Wednesday 21 October. Kolkata has thousands of pandals and the best of them sit kilometres apart, so a car with a driver who knows where to drop you and where to wait turns a tiring night into a planned one. Safar Kolkata runs fixed-hour pandal hopping cabs for North Kolkata, South Kolkata, Salt Lake and the old Bonedi Bari family pujas, plus Puja-holiday trips out of the city.

In 2026 the main day, Navami, is Wednesday 18 November, with the puja running from Saptami on 16 November to Dashami on 19 November. Chandannagar is about 50 km from Kolkata, close enough for an evening trip with a driver who drops you at the edge of the pedestrian zone and waits. Krishnanagar, the other historic centre of the puja, is about 100 km away.

Christmas in Kolkata centres on Park Street's lights, midnight mass at St Paul's Cathedral, and the Anglo-Indian neighbourhood of Bow Barracks. New Year's Eve brings the city's busiest party night, when app cabs surge and are hard to find after midnight. A pre-booked car with a driver solves both nights.
