About this trip
Kolkata is the most literary and least self-conscious of the Indian metros, and the one where walking is actually rewarded. The colonial core around Dalhousie Square, the Victoria Memorial, the flower market beneath Howrah Bridge at dawn, the trams that still run, the coffee house on College Street — none of it is packaged, which is why people who love the city love it disproportionately. Kumartuli, where the Durga idols are sculpted from river clay, is at its most extraordinary in the weeks before Durga Puja in September or October, when the whole city becomes an open-air exhibition. Two nights minimum; three if you visit during Puja, when everything else stops. This 2-night tour is built around the destination's key sights, priced on enquiry and tailored to your dates — the day-by-day below is a flexible framework, confirmed with you at quotation.

Questions
September or October depending on the lunar calendar. The city is transformed and it is remarkable, but hotels book out months ahead and prices climb sharply.
More than any other Indian metro. The colonial core, Park Street and College Street all reward walking, and the metro covers the longer hops cheaply.
It is a flexible framework built around Kolkata's key sights. The exact day-by-day plan, specific hotels and final inclusions are tailored to your dates, pace and party at the quotation stage — add nights, nearby destinations or activities as you wish.
