Handpicked for Kolkata Travellers
Every package below is popular with travellers flying from Kolkata. All itineraries are fully tailor-made — durations, hotels, and activities adjusted to your dates and budget. 6 packages shown; browse all Maldives packages.
Getting There
Kolkata does not currently have a non-stop flight to Malé, but reaching the Maldives is straightforward with a single, well-timed connection. The most convenient routings from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) are via Bengaluru (BLR) or Chennai (MAA) — both of which have short direct hops to Malé — or via Colombo (CMB). Total journey time is typically around 7–9 hours including the connection.
