Berhampore private tour: why a car and guide change the day
A Berhampore private tour solves the distance. In a timetable example the Hazarduari Express needs 3 hours 20 minutes from Kolkata to Murshidabad, each way, before any transfer or sightseeing. A private car collects you at your Kolkata hotel and drives you to the sights of the Nawabs' city, so the day is not planned around a train and a search for a local ride.
The Murshidabad day trip is the only option here that leaves Kolkata for the old capital. The Hazarduari palace was built between 1829 and 1837, and its museum shows 20 galleries of portraits, furniture, silver thrones and weapons. A guide who knows the order of the sights makes those hours count.
The other four options stay in Kolkata and suit the days before or after. All prices below are per person, from October 2026.
