💡 Travel Tips
💰 Eat at local Bengali dhabas and street food stalls around Howrah Market rather than restaurants; authentic meals cost ₹50-150 per plate compared to ₹300+ in tourist areas.
📅 October to March is ideal for visiting Howrah Station and Kolkata, when the weather is cool and pleasant with temperatures between 15-25°C, making exploration comfortable. Avoid May to September due to intense heat and monsoon rains that can disrupt travel plans and make the crowded station even more challenging to navigate.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Howrah Station as it is located in Kolkata, India. Simply carry a valid Indian passport or national ID for domestic travel.
