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.
Jain Swetamber Dadajika Temple
  • 20m
Built in 1867 has mirror inlaid pillars, stained glass windows and marble floors. Its garden is however dotted with European statues and blocks of glass mosaic. Devout Jains from distant parts of India flock to the temple precincts all-round the year. Photography allowed only outside. Guests will have to remove shoes to enter main temple.
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 (Pass by)
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.
Maidan (Pass by)
The Maidan (literally, open field), is a vast stretch of field that includes numerous play grounds, including the famous cricketing venue Eden Gardens, several football stadiums, and the Kolkata Race Course. The Maidan is dotted with statues and architectural works, the most notable being the Victoria Memorial. Due to the freshness and greenery it provides to the metropolis, it has been referred to as the "lungs of Kolkata".
Victoria Memorial Hall
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket 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.
St. Paul's Cathedral
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
St. Paul's Cathedral is a Church of North India cathedral of Anglican background in Kolkata, noted for its Gothic architecture and dedicated to Paul the Apostle. It is the seat of the Diocese of Calcutta. The cornerstone was laid in 1839; the building was completed in 1847.
Missionaries of Charity
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
The Mother House of the Missionaries of Charity is the headquarters of the international religious congregation of the Missionaries of Charity. It has been home to Mother Teresa and her sisters from February 1953 to the present day. It is here that Mother lived, prayed, worked, and guided her religious family of sisters spread across the world. It is here that her body was laid to rest. A regular flow of mostly Christian pilgrims visits the Missionaries of Charity’s 'Mother House' to pay homage at Mother (now Saint) Teresa’s large, sober tomb and a small adjacent museum displaying her personal items like sandals, cutlery, dinner bowl, work letters, writings and photographs. Located upstairs is the rooms where she worked and rested from 1953 to 1997 preserved in all its simplicity.
