A Kolkata to Ayodhya Hills cab covers about 300 km and takes around 6.5 hours. The plateau in Purulia district has dams, waterfalls, forest trails and, in spring, hillsides orange with Palash flowers. One-way fares start from about INR 5,460 in a Swift Dzire, but a round trip is the practical choice because local transport is scarce.
