I don’t feel very creative when I’m abroad somehow, I need to be in my chair in Calcutta! - Satyajit Ray
Calcutta was once also dubbed A City of Palaces for it was the only city in India at one time that boasted of the highest concentration of great buildings built by the British. Interestingly, some of these structures were replicated in the dwellings of the local gentry.
Calcutta, then, rather like an onion, is made of many layers. Our attempt is to give you a peek beneath the scuffed and grimy upper layers into the real beauty that lies beneath. Each era has left indelible marks on Calcutta; it is these traces we will seek to unearth together on our walks and tours. Do join us on this exciting voyage of discovery!
