Activity itinerary

Malik Ghat Flower Market
  • 30m
Beneath the east end of Howrah Bridge, is eastern India's largest flower market with hundreds of stalls and people sitting on the ground. Around 2,000 flower growers from the surrounding areas come to sell their flowers and garlands and during the wedding and festive season probably double that number.
Howrah Bridge
  • 10m
A short walk on the Howrah Bridge for a panoramic view of the Hooghly river. Howrah Bridge or Rabindra Setu (rechristened in 1965) connects Kolkata with Howrah across the river Hooghly. It was opened for traffic in 1943. Around 26500 tonnes of steel was used to make this 705m long cantilever truss bridge standing on two 83m high pillars.
Kumartuli
  • 20m
This unique artisan village dates back 400 years, making it perhaps the oldest of its kind in the world. Around 250 artists work to produce 40,000 idols a year, including 3500 images of Durga. With more than a thousand workers assisting the artisans, Kumartuli is a mini industry. It exports 50 Durga idols to virtually all corners of the world, including UK, USA, Canada, Germany and Switzerland. Photography allowed on charges.
College Street (Boi Para)
  • 30m
College Street book market and Indian Coffee House. It is most famous for its small and big bookshops, which gives it the nickname Boi Para (Colony of Books). We also visit the Indian Coffee House and enjoy a short refreshment break of Indian snacks and tea / coffee. Cost included in the tour price.
Dalhousie Square
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
Named in the memory of Lord Dalhousie who was the Governor General of India from 1847 to 1856. The Dalhousie Square is surrounded by some of Kolkata's most enduring Raj-era monuments like High Court, Town Hall, St. John’s Church, the magnificent GPO (General Post Office), the regal Raj Bhawan, and the Gothic style Writer's Building.
Victoria Memorial Hall
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
This is one of India's most beautiful monuments built between 1906 and 1921 on the lines of white marble. The memorial was the inspiration of Lord Curzon, who in 1901, felt that his lately departed Queen Empress, required a suitable monument to her memory. It houses paintings, manuscripts, and other objects of historic value in its Museum and Art Gallery. Your visit will only include the garden entry fee.
Indian Coffee House
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The Indian Coffee House is a Kolkata legend, and was around much before Barista and Starbucks came along. This is the most favourite gathering place for the writers, intellectuals, artists and students for many decades. In this large historical and legendary café, you can find hundreds of Kolkatan's busy discussing their favourite issue over a cup of coffee. The iconic Coffee House has ridiculously high ceilings, small square tables, murals and paintings on the walls that will take you right back to India’s past. Steeped in culture and heritage, the intensity of this place is palpable. Previously known as ‘Albert Hall’ and renamed ‘Indian Coffee House’ post Independence, it has been a centre for the arts for around 300 years.
St. John's Church
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
This stone-spired 1787 church is ringed by columns and contains a small, portrait-draped room once used as an office by Warren Hastings, India’s first British governor-general. The tree-shaded grounds have several interesting monuments, including the mausoleum of Job Charnock and the relocated Black Hole Memorial. The church is home to an exquisite painting depicting the Last Supper, by 18th-century German artist Johann Zoffany.
Tagore House
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The world famous poet Rabindranath Tagore was born and died in this house. Located at the junction of the Chitpur Road and the Vivekananda Road, it is the headquarters of Rabindra Bharati University, a famous centre for the study of the Indian Arts. There is a museum too in memory of the great Tagore family. Photography not allowed inside. Remains closed on Monday & National Holidays.
