If you want to visit a city with a soul & Joy, come to Calcutta with us.
Kolkata is a city of:
World’s largest Banyan tree: An enormous banyan tree whose circumference is more than 330 meters! The Great Banyan tree is over 250 years old; the area occupied by the tree is about 18,918 square metres. The present crown of the tree has a circumference of 486 m. and the highest branch rises to 940.5 m; it has at present 3772 aerial roots reaching down to the ground as a prop root.
City of Joy: For the people of the world, Kolkata had been nicknamed as ‘the city of joy’ after the infamous novel by Dominique Lappierre in1985. But for every Bengali and the inhabitants of Kolkata, it has been thus for innumerable decades. Fabricated by art, culture, and history, beauty runs in Kolkata’s lanes. Being a metropolitan city now, pace is its new ornament. A warm and welcoming city, it thrills the outsiders at first and then seems to become a part of their soul. It can thus be said that ‘you may be taken out of Kolkata but Kolkata can’t be taken out of you!’
Hand-pulled rickshaws: You might term this one as a pro or a con; nevertheless, it’s quite true that Kolkata is the only city in India with hand-pulled rickshaws.
Polo Club and ground: Calcutta might not have been the city of princes, but the Calcutta Polo Club is the oldest one in the world! The Royal Calcutta Gold Club is the first golf club ever, outside the United Kingdom.
The Howrah Bridge: Seems to be the identity of the city—but did you know that it’s the one of the largest cantilever bridges in the world, and the largest (and perhaps the only) one in the country?
Book Lover’s paradise: Kolkata is a book lover’s paradise. In fact, College Street is widely referred to as the second largest second-hand book market in the world where, if you search properly, you’ll be able to find the first edition of even the rarest of the rare books! Regarding College Street, there’s a saying that if you didn’t find a book in College Street, that book probably have never existed!
