By train
Alternatively, from Kolkata there are local trains from Sealdah station, taking around 3 hours to reach Bangaon. The border is 6 km beyond this station.
You're here to do one thing: walk across the border. On the Bangladeshi side, you can walk the 2 km to the bus stop or take a rickshaw for Tk 5.
