Once we got used to the chaos [and the lack of maintainance of everything! ] we enjoyed the vibe of the city , we loved our trip to the totally unspoiled Sunderbans in particular the spectacular river trip. In short I cant wait to return and maybe go up river next time and do a little more history in the... More

Out of the way, but we were taken there by the Calcutta Walks walking tour people. Worth seeing; Easier to digest the sculptures and appreciate them than those in the Indian Museum.

idk what this person below is talking about "not being well maintained." It's very well maintained for the standards. Westerners are obsessed with clean white walls. Yet seeing the age of buildings and preserving the unique feeling is important too!

I also wanted to visit the room of... More

This large house where Rabindranath Tagore lived and died has many rooms filled with his photos, art works, writings and a few of his possessions, as well as those of his family. The displays give a good general view of his life and work. I knew little about the man until today, but after my visit i feel i have... More
