Information about the area
Kolkata, IndiaKolkata, formerly Calcutta, is the capital of West Bengal and the second largest city in India after Mumbai. Abject poverty mix inexplicably with crumbling British Raj-era gems, sprawling gardens and historical colleges. Long known as the cultural capital of India, Kolkata continues to spawn generations of poets, writers, film producers and Nobel Prize winners.
The city sprawls along the eastern bank of the Hooghly River, a tributary of the Ganges, which divides it from Howrah on the western bank. For travelers, the most relevant parts of Kolkata are south of the Howrah Bridge in the areas around BBD Bagh and Chowringhee. Kolkata is a huge city with a lot to see but some of the main attractions are the Eden Gardens, Fort William, Victoria Memorial, Nakhoda Mosque, the largest mosque in Kolkata, Shobhabajar Rajbari, Parashnath Jain Temple and the Birla Temple, the largest in Kolkata and worth a visit.
If Bangalore is the Seattle of India, than Kolkata is the sub-continent’s London. It is an 'in your face' city that shocks and charms the unsuspecting visitor. If your trip only allows for a visit of one or two of India's metropolitan cities, than definitely consider placing Kolkata on your itinerary. Love it or hate it, you definitely won't forget the city on the Hooghly.
