How to reach
We suggest that you should better hire a taxi from the prepaid taxi booth, located outside the station and airport premises. While hiring a prepaid taxi, mention Bonhooghly as your destination. The blue-bordered yellow taxis of Kolkata run on meter. You can also use apps like Ola and Uber to hire a cab from the airport.
From Sealdah/ Howrah/ Kolkata railway stations
While coming by taxi, the general direction is towards Dunlop crossing. The more specific location should be given by Bonhooghly, as the driver may not be familiar with the location of the guest house. The guest house campus will be on your left on B. T. Road coming from the south (Howrah station or Sealdah station, for example) after crossing Ananya Cinema Hall which does not exist anymore, though the place is still known by that name.
From the airport
If you are coming from the airport, the taxi-driver may also take the elevated Belghoria expressway, get out on the P.W.D. Road near Dakshineshwar. After that, there is a flyover. Once you get off the flyover, first there is a pedestrian crossing, followed by a road crossing, both with traffic lights. The second crossing is Bonhooghly, and the guest house will be on your right just after the crossing.
