Why Cholo Ghuri
We're not a generic tour company. Every detail is designed for people who live in this city.
Travel with your neighbours. We bring together families and solo travellers from across Kolkata — Garia to Dunlop, Howrah to Salt Lake.
Door-to-door pickup from Esplanade, Sealdah, Garia, and Howrah. AC Volvo buses. You just show up — we handle everything.
No generic hotels. We partner with handpicked homestays and boutique properties where the host knows your name by evening.
Even on the road, the food meets Kolkata foodie standards. Bengali meals at every stop — luchi-alur dom for breakfast, kosha mangsho for dinner.
Meet Your Guide
Founder & Lead Guide · Born in Bhowanipore, Kolkata
Born and raised in South Kolkata, Arnab spent his college years at Jadavpur University bunking classes to explore the backroads of Bengal on his motorcycle. What started as weekend escapes turned into a decade-long obsession with finding places that don't show up on Google Maps.
After 10 years in IT, he quit his job in 2018 to start Cholo Ghuri — a travel company built on one simple idea: Kolkatans deserve better than cookie-cutter Darjeeling packages.
He's personally scouted every route, tasted every meal, and slept in every homestay before adding it to a trip. If the bed isn't comfortable enough for his mother, it doesn't make the cut.
Traveller Voices
"The bus ride from Garia was so smooth — picked us up right from the Garia Metro stand. By the time we reached Purulia, it felt like a family trip, not a tour."
In Bengali"Amra Kolkata theke eto sundor jaygay gechhi, ar kono tour company erokom authentic experience deyni. Khawa daowa — puroi ghorer moto."
"We were worried about taking our 70-year-old mother. But the team arranged everything — ground floor room, easy walking routes, and even carried her bag. She had the best time."
"I travel solo and was nervous about joining a group. By day 2, I had 15 new friends. We still have a WhatsApp group that plans the next trip together."
