  1. Really enjoyed reading this post 🙂 You’ve captured some interesting aspects of Kolkata through your experience, especially the part about Chinese breakfast and newspapers. I’m travelling to Kolkata in June, do you think it’s a good idea to try the Chinese breakfast when I’m there?

    1. Thanks….yeah surely Chinese Breakfast is a must. Apart from this you can do the 1) European Heritage 2) Chinatown 3) Park Street 4) Heritage Cemeteries 5) Heritage Churches etc… When you come to Kolkata just connect with me will guide you all the places where you can go 🙂

      1. Oh awesome! That’s so nice of you 🙂 I’ll be there for three days in the first week of June. Would you mind connecting over email to discuss?

  2. Lovely walk…I knew Kolkatta has lot of history to talk about & discover. But never ever read about any heritage walk. Will undertake one during my next visit to Kolkatta!

      1. Thanks so much, that’s very kind of you.. subhadip. I have been to Kolkatta twice, but to attend social functions. My first impression was that it has lot of character. incidentally, I do have connection with Kolkatta via my ancestry -work!

          1. Our connection with kolkatta is more than a 150 year old…. Business! Not anymore though.. our family moved out of there during pre WW II years.

          2. Pretty interesting read. I guess I need to make a trip to Kolkatta and explore all those addresses mentioned in books of my ancestors dating back to 1850-1875 AD. Will eb interesting

  3. Been in Kolkata for 2 yrs but didn’t know about any of this. You captured the walk really well. Made me feel I was there.
