How to reach the School
Comprehensive travel guide for reaching Debnagar Mokshoda Dinda Higher Secondary School via bus and train.
By Bus
WBSTC has regular bus service from Dharmatala to Bakkhali. One starts at 7:00 AM in the morning from Dharmatala and reaches Bakkhali at around 11:30 AM, leaving from Bakkhali after half an hour for Kolkata (Dharmatala). Another starts at 8:00 AM from Dharmatala to reach Bakkhali at 12:30 PM and starts from Bakkhali after half an hour to forty-five minutes.
The bottom-line is that there are two round trips from Kolkata to Bakkhali provided by WBSTC. This schedule is subject to change and one must confirm it from Dharmatala Bus Stand before venturing out from Kolkata.
By Train
The nearest rail station is at Namkhana. There are regular trains from Sealdah via Lakshmikantapur and Kakdwip to Namkhana. Check the time table on erail.in. The first train starts at around 4:00 AM from Sealdah, followed by departures at around 4:40 AM, 7:30 AM, and next after a long gap at around 10:30 AM. Train fare is around ₹25 and the journey takes approximately 3 hours.
From Namkhana station, you can take a van rickshaw to the bus stand, then catch a bus towards Bakkhali, get down at Giribandh, and take a rickshaw to the school. Alternatively, you can take a rickshaw right from the bus stand. However, the best option is to reserve an auto-rickshaw service available at the stand adjacent to Namkhana Station to reach your destination smoothly.
