No airline flies IXC–Chittagong directly, and Chandigarh's thin international network means you transit. The common path is IXC–Kolkata (about 2h 10m), Kolkata–Dhaka (1 hour), then a 45–55 minute domestic hop to Chittagong on Biman or US-Bangla. Some itineraries route via Delhi instead of Kolkata. Total elapsed time runs 7–12 hours depending on layovers. Kolkata is geographically the natural Indian gateway to Bangladesh.
This is essential to plan around. Indian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Bangladesh. You must apply in advance through an IVAC (Indian Visa Application Centre for Bangladesh) office or the High Commission for a sticker visa pasted into your passport. Processing usually takes 5–10 working days, so apply 2–3 weeks ahead; tourist visas are commonly issued for 30 days. Verify the document list in our visa guide first.
Chittagong's Shah Amanat International Airport (CGP) lies about 12 km south of the city centre, a 25–40 minute drive depending on traffic, which is heavy in this busy port hub. CNG auto-rickshaws and taxis serve the terminal. CGP handles domestic flights from Dhaka plus several Gulf routes for the local expat community. Arrive 2 hours before international departures and 1 hour for the Dhaka hop.
Chittagong is a working port with hilly neighbourhoods, the colonial-era WWII cemetery and lively bazaars. It is the launch point for the Chittagong Hill Tracts (Rangamati, Bandarban) and for Cox's Bazar — claimed as one of the world's longest natural beaches, about 150 km south, roughly a 4-hour drive. November–February is the most comfortable season at 22–30°C; the June–September monsoon brings heavy rain.
As a multi-leg one-stop journey, fares vary. Expect off-peak economy round-trips of roughly ₹26,000–₹40,000; the December–January business and expat-visit peak, plus Eid travel, can reach ₹42,000–₹56,000. The cheapest builds often pair an Indian domestic leg with a separate Dhaka–Chittagong ticket, but book a protected through-fare where you can to avoid missed-connection risk.
Bangladesh uses the taka (BDT); carry cash as cards are less accepted outside hotels. Bengali (Chittagonian dialect) is spoken locally, with Hindi widely understood. Local SIMs (Grameenphone, Robi) are cheap but need passport registration. The 30-minute time difference is small — set your watch forward on landing. Budget 3–4 days to combine the city with a Hill Tracts or Cox's Bazar trip.
From north India, Bangladesh is reached via Kolkata or Delhi onward to Dhaka, which feeds every domestic city including Chittagong. The advance-visa requirement is the one thing to plan early. For a closely related routing that shares the same Dhaka gateway and visa rules, see our Calicut to Sylhet guide.
