Route for a road trip to Ayodhya/ Ajodhya Hills (Pahar) from Kolkata

From wherever one might stay in Kolkata or its suburbs, one has to cross the River Hooghly by driving on the Vidyasagar Setu/ 2nd Hooghly Bridge over Hooghly River or Nivedita Setu and reach Dankuni toll plaza on NH19 (erstwhile, NH2).
Thereafter, it's a straight beautiful drive via Palsit toll plaza, Shaktigarh (of the ubiquitous Lyangcha sweetdish fame), Burdwan bypass, Panagarh bypass, Durgapur, Andal, Ranigunj (Punjabi More), Ninga more, Kalipahari, Asansol bypass, Asansol Engineering College crossing, upto Neamatpur crossing.

Exit NH19 and turn left, drive under the Howrah - Delhi railway line to reach the old GT Road to Neamatpur town. Turn right , drive for about 500 mtrs on old G.T.Road towards Barakar & again take left on the New IISCO Road to reach Disergarh.
Disergarh is the Headquarters of Eastern Coalfields Ltd. The nearest railway station is Barakar, barely 4 kms away.


At Disergarh (Burdwan district), drive on Netaji Subhas Setu over River Barakar/ River Damodar to reach Parbelia (Purulia district) on the other end.









From Parbelia, an idea of the following distances to important towns/ cities will be useful for every roadie:
Raghunathpur 27 kms, Jaychandi Hills 30 kms, Panchet Hills 15 kms, Purulia 68 kms, Santhaldih 52 kms, Ayodhya Hills 117 kms, Jamshedpur 159 kms, Dhanbad 156 kms, Ranchi 193 kms, Bankura 159 kms

After Parbelia, drive past Sarbari More, Gobag (Nethuria Block), Raghunathpur and reach Purulia.
Turn right at Sarbari More to drive to Panchet Hills and Panchet Dam.




Turn right immediately after Nethuria Block Development Office to reach Garpanchakot.

On reaching Purulia continue driving on NH419, cross River Kangshabati and reach Tamna More.
Thereafter, there are two options to reach Ajodhya Hills.

Option 1: Turn right at Tamna More to exit NH419. Drive on Ajodhya Hills Road via Sirkabad (Pin Code 723154) and reach Ajodhya Hills.





Option 2: From Tamna More proceed ahead for another 23 kms on NH419 upto Balarampur. Take a right turn after crossing Balarampur College, start driving on SH4 and drive past Kandra to reach Baghmundi, which is the foothills of Ajodhya Hills. Then drive up to Ayodhya hills.

Ayodhya Hills can also be reached by driving via Kotolpur - Bishnupur - Bankura - Purulia.

For people driving/ riding from Kolkata, the NH2 option is a better one.
