Kolkata Tour

After arriving in Kolkata, we will check into the hotel, freshen up and head to Park Street in Kolkata, the street that never sleeps. The street is home to many iconic eateries. The southern part of the street showcases historic tombs. 

 The memorial is a grand British-era structure and is constructed entirely with the use of White Marble. The memorial stands on 64 acres of land beside the Hooghly, nearby Jawaharlal Nehru Road or Chowringhee Road. Victoria Memorial was dedicated to Queen Victoria, built during the British Raj, and today is a museum, showcasing the history of the city, with paintings from the past alongside the weapons, sculptures, maps, coins, and so on from the British Colonial Days. 

We start our third day at New Market. It is the most popular market in the city. It was established in 1874 and is home to over 2,000 stores. Today, we will experience Kolkata’s vibrant bazaar culture. The Indian Museum, located within the same Dharmatala neighborhood, is the place to go for some history. The Maidan is the city’s largest public green space. The Shaheed Minar is standing 158-foot high and dates back to 1828. 

Kolkata’s Old Chinatown, or Terreti Bazaar, is one of a kind in the entire India. This historic neighborhood preserves Kolkata’s unique cultural heritage, especially that of the local Chinese immigrant community. Start your day here early, at around 6.30 am, to dig into fresh breakfast street food.

We start the day at the Mallick Ghat Flower Market, which is over a century old and is believed to be India’s biggest flower market. It also happens to be located right below the Howrah Bridge, one of the world’s busiest bridges, and is a must-visit Kolkata attraction. After spending some time there, we leave to the city’s north, which is famous for its narrow lanes, heritage mansions, and rich history. Kumartuli is a narrow street filled with sculptors at work on a range of terracotta figures, from Hindu deities to decor pieces, and is a must-visit destination. We will stop by the Rabindra Bharati Museum, the ancestral home of Rabindranath Tagore, one of the most important figures in Bengali and Indian literature.

Kolkata is also known to be India’s unofficial literary capital. College Street is a century-old hub of used books and is considered to be the world’s largest book market of its kind. The Indian Coffee House was once a regular haunt for intellectual figures such as Satyajit Ray, Amartya Sen, Rabindranath Tagore, Subhas Chandra Bose, and Sunil Gangopadhyay
