Discover Kolkata, India’s second-largest city, with its rich colonial past and vibrant culture. Located on the banks of the Hooghly River, Kolkata was founded in 1690 as a trading post for the British East India Company and soon became Asia's largest colonial trade center. It also served as the capital of India until 1911, when it was moved to Delhi. The city’s grand Victorian buildings, decorative fountains, and charming lampposts still reflect its European influence and allure.

Despite its historic significance, the city’s colonial structures have not been as well-preserved as in Mumbai, with crumbling brickwork and peeling paint marking its storied past. Yet, the proud citizens of Kolkata—affectionately known as Calcuttans—continue to celebrate their city’s unique charm. Known for their warmth, helpfulness, and sense of humor, the people of Kolkata defend the city's vibrancy with passion, and its contrasts between old-world heritage and modern life make it a fascinating destination.

Join us to explore Kolkata’s many facets, from its bustling markets and iconic landmarks to its quiet alleys and scenic river views. We'll guide you through this exciting city, offering insight into its history, culture, and the daily life of its residents. We are also happy to assist with your accommodation choices to ensure a comfortable stay.
