How To Reach Barmasia Picnic Spot

By Air: The nearest major airports to Dumka are Birsa Munda Airport (IXR) in Ranchi (approx. 330 km away), Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) in Kolkata (approx. 350 km away), and Jay Prakash Narayan Airport (PAT) in Patna (approx. 390 km away). Travelers must first fly to one of these major hubs. From the airport, the journey continues by pre-booked private taxi or by taking a connecting train or bus service to Dumka. A direct taxi from Ranchi to Dumka can take 7 to 8 hours, while from Kolkata, it takes around 8 to 9 hours.

By Train: Dumka Railway Station (DUMK) is well-connected to major railway hubs. There are direct train services connecting Dumka to the state capital Ranchi and other important cities like Jasidih, Bhagalpur, and Rampurhat. A very common route is to take a train to Jasidih Junction (JSME) or Deoghar (DGHR), and then take a bus, local train, or taxi for the final leg to Dumka. Once in Dumka, the Barmasia Picnic Spot is a short 5 km ride away using local transport.

By Road: Dumka is served by a network of National Highways and State Highways, including NH-114A and State Highways connecting it to Deoghar, Bhagalpur, and Kolkata. Both government-run and private luxury bus services (including overnight services) are frequently available from Ranchi and Kolkata. From the city of Dumka, the spot is located slightly off the main Dumka-Rampurhat road (or a similar major arterial road). The road quality is generally good for the final 5 km stretch.

By Local Transport: Reaching Barmasia Picnic Spot from the Dumka City Center or Railway Station is very easy and convenient. The best local transport options are Auto-rickshaws (autos) and E-rickshaws (electric tempos/totos). These are readily available and operate on fixed, short-distance fares, usually taking less than 15 minutes to reach the spot. For larger groups, a local taxi (cab) or a pre-hired tempo is the most comfortable and cost-effective option, offering door-to-door service to the picnic grounds.
