I travelled many times from Agartala to Calcutta by air, flying over Bangladesh. Duirng monsoon the country seemed to be vast expanse of water and roads and villages just surfacing out of water. The travel time was just about one hour. Limited number of flights were available those days(1990s) and a long waiting list. If you could not take a ticket, enjoy the once capital of British India ,Fort William and many many sights of the city. And if waiting was still longer, take a train to Guwahati and move through Meghalaya, Lower Assam ( Silchar) and then to Agartala through insurgency infested jungles of North East, which could take upto two to three days depending upon the availability of protection and convoys.
Dhaka Kolkata bus service started in 1999 and Agartala dhaka bus service agreed in 2001.
