A singularly vital centre of history, art and culture, Kolkata is the city of choice for discerning travelers. The first British capital in India, the metropolis even now most generously provides food and shelter to innumerable poor migrants from neighbouring regions and countries. Our immersive city tour traces the marks of original Kolkata through the history of pre-British era when Armenians, Jews, and Indian merchants developed the riparian settlement into a trade hub. Along with the popular touristic points like colonial mansions, river bridges, clay-idol workshops and tram ride, our story-telling tour also explores the non- touristic treasures hidden along the city roads. The century old small temples, the largest farmers’ market, the decaying ornamental family mansions on narrow serpentine lanes, the traditional shops selling conch-shell artifacts, hand-woven sarees, bell metal utensils – accompanied by some amusing anecdotes. A guided food adventure in Kolkata also is related with its cosmopolitan history where the Iranians and the Arabians followed by the Portuguese, the Jews, the British and the Chinese have contributed to the innovative culinary culture of Kolkata. An added attraction is the organic experience in a home kitchen together with a visit to a local fresh market in the early morning.
