Kolkata to Rajkot passengers face a genuine choice of hub. Via Mumbai (BOM): CCU–BOM is a major trunk route served by IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet, and Akasa Air with 10+ daily departures; the BOM–RAJ segment adds about 1 hour. Total journey from Kolkata to Rajkot via Mumbai is roughly 4 to 4.5 hours. Via Ahmedabad (AMD): CCU–AMD has fewer daily departures (≈ 3–5) but the AMD–RAJ segment is shorter (≈ 45 minutes), and Ahmedabad offers excellent bus/rail connections to Rajkot as a backup. For most travellers the Mumbai routing offers better schedule flexibility and often better combined fares, especially in the morning departure banks. Compare both on FlightGPT's itinerary search for your specific dates.
Rajkot Airport (RAJ), formally Hirasar Airport (inaugurated 2023), is Gujarat's newest major airport, replacing the old Rajkot city aerodrome. Located about 30 km from Rajkot city centre, it features a modern terminal with improved runway capacity. Pre-paid taxis and auto-rickshaws connect to the city in roughly 40–50 minutes. The airport has cafes and basic retail. Rajkot itself is well connected by road to Gir National Park (≈ 165 km, 3 hours), Dwarka (≈ 250 km, 4 hours), and Jamnagar (≈ 90 km, 1.5 hours), making it a practical base for a Saurashtra road trip. Book ground transport in advance during peak Navratri and Gir safari season.
Kolkata–Rajkot round-trip economy fares (as of June 2026) typically start around ₹7,000 on advance-purchase bookings made 5–7 weeks out. Fares climb to ₹16,000+ during Navratri (September–October), Diwali, and the November–February Gir safari peak. The cheapest windows are mid-February through early April (post-Diwali and pre-summer) and the first half of June. Since this is a secondary market with fewer carriers, seat inventory on the connecting legs is limited — booking early is more important than on trunk routes. A flexible date search (±2 days) can reveal 15–20% cheaper windows.
Rajkot serves as the commercial and logistical hub for Saurashtra, one of Gujarat's most tourism-rich sub-regions. The key draw for travellers from eastern India is the Gir Forest National Park — the only wild habitat of the Asiatic lion — where forest department jeep safaris must be pre-booked online months in advance during peak season (December–March). Beyond Gir, the Dwarka Dwarkadhish temple complex is a Char Dham pilgrimage stop. The Somnath Jyotirlinga temple (≈ 4 hours from Rajkot by road) also draws pilgrims from Bengal. Rajkot's own attractions include its vibrant kite-making industry, Watson Museum, and the Rashtriya Shala crafts centre linked to Gandhi's educational experiments.
IndiGo's base economy includes 7 kg cabin baggage; a 15 kg checked bag add-on costs ₹550–₹900 per leg. Air India economy includes 15 kg checked baggage. Book both legs on a single itinerary for through-checked bags and connection protection at Mumbai or Ahmedabad — missing a connecting flight on separate tickets can leave you stranded at the hub for several hours. Fares and baggage policies current as of June 2026. For Gir safaris, bring lightweight clothes in earthy tones (no bright colours inside the sanctuary), a zoom-capable camera, and sunscreen — open-top jeeps expose you to the sun on morning drives.
This is a domestic Indian route — only a government-issued photo ID is required for Indian citizens (Aadhaar, voter ID, PAN card, or passport). Foreign nationals need passport and a valid Indian visa for domestic travel. No state-entry forms or permits are required for Gujarat. For Gir National Park, a safari permit must be booked online via the Gujarat Ecology Commission portal (gjepc.gujarat.gov.in) — this is a forest department process, separate from your flight ticket. Permits for the most sought-after morning safari slots sell out weeks ahead in peak season. DigiYatra is active at CCU and can speed up morning rush-hour security checks.
No non-stop service exists on this route. The most common connections are via Mumbai (BOM) or Ahmedabad (AMD), with total journey times of about 4 to 5 hours including layover.
As of June 2026, indicative round-trip economy fares start around ₹7,000 on advance bookings and can reach ₹16,000 during Navratri, Diwali, and the November–February Gir safari peak season.
IndiGo is the dominant carrier on both CCU–BOM and BOM–RAJ. Air India and SpiceJet also serve the Kolkata–Mumbai leg. Ahmedabad-routing options are mainly IndiGo on CCU–AMD and AMD–RAJ.
Gir National Park is about 165 km from Rajkot by road — roughly a 3-hour drive via the Junagadh road. The nearest airport to Gir is actually Diu (DIU, ≈ 90 km) or Rajkot (RAJ, ≈ 165 km).
Yes — Hirasar Airport (IATA: RAJ, opened 2023) replaces the cramped old Rajkot civil airport and features a modern 2-storey terminal, longer runway for larger narrow-bodies, and better road access from the Rajkot–Ahmedabad highway.
Mid-February through early April and early June tend to be the cheapest windows, with round-trip fares sometimes dipping below ₹7,500. Avoid Navratri (September–October) and the November–February Gir high season for the best fares.
