KOLKATA WALKS
Since 1998... The original, the cheapest and still the best off the beaten track walks in town.
You go to places in the city that are usually overlooked by the casual traveller.
We will put together walks that meet your interests or suggest walks around
themes that interest you.
Day walks take approximately 3 hours. We will arrange a place to meet that is suitable for you.
You just need to name a date or dates and we will confirm.
Then tell us where you will be staying when you know.
Walks usually start around 10.00 am when the city comes alive and we are happy to take one to five people.
Our main walks include:
• Communities and Bazaars Walk
• Palaces and Where the Gods are Made
• River Walking Tours
• Coffee House, Palaces and Bazaars
• Disappearing Kolkata
• Temple Tour by Public Transport

The British Influence
The rise and fall of the Bengali Babus
The Bazaars of old Calcutta
Places of worship
Along the river.
All walks highlight the cultural diversity of this city and the small communities that collectively make it one of the most interesting cities in the world. While we have suggested themes and named different walks in reality any walk will combine a number of these ideas.

Night Walks.
The city comes alive as the sun sets and an evening walk through mixed communities is a great way to see the city and end the day. We start with a poor Muslim community, very friendly. Have a tea here or a crescent samosa if you like. Then on to an old Hindu community, the Bengali sweets here are famous. Then through a crowded wholesale vegetable market and some more small back streets and if you like return through Chandni Chowk and New Market or you might like us to end the walk at a local bar or restaurant. The walk takes approximately 3 hours.

Art Gallery Tour
This tour takes in, for the main part, the 3 biggest galleries in Kolkata which are mainly dedicated to contemporary exhibitions.
We travel to these destinations by a combination of metro, Taxi and auto rickshaw. It also includes a walk through a park and alongside a lake.
Of course there are other smaller independent galleries which often have interesting exhibitions. It’s all a matter of what’s on at any given time. However if you wish to take in some of these galleries you will need to cover extra travel expenses as they can be substantial distances from each other.
The tour starts at 3 pm and would normally last for about 3 hours. After completion we can have snacks and drinks at a spot where many of the city’s arts community meet to fraternise each evening.
Cost:
1 person Rs 2000/-
2 people Rs 1200/- per person
3 people Rs 1000/- per person
4 people Rs 800/- per person
5 people Rs 700/- per person
Northern Temple Tour by Public Transport
There are two famous temples just out of Kolkata, on the river, that are well worth exploring. Belur Math, the headquarters of the Rama Krisna Mission, a reform Hindu movement that gave rise to the saint Rama Krisna and his disciple Vivikenanda. Close by is the imposing Kali Temple at Dakshineswar. On the way we can view another smaller local Shiva temple, again on the river. The tour takes in transport by metro rail, cycle rickshaw, boats on the river, bus and even a tram ride if you wish. If you would like to do this tour or part of the tour by taxi the charge is as below plus taxi costs.
Cost:
1 person Rs 2200/-
2 people Rs 1500/- per person
3 people Rs 1000/- per person
4 people Rs 800/- per person
The tour would start from central Kolkata, (close to the Metro) or an agreed location at around 9.00am
Meet Young India through English
If you would like to spend a few hours participating in spoken English classes we can arrange them for you at a local English tutorial college in the north of the city.
You can visit just one time or arrange with the coordinator to come back at other times during your stay. You do not have to prepare anything, it is more of an opportunity for local students to practice their conversational English with native speakers or others who have good English.
Usually it will take the form of a casual discussion with a small group around a table but you are welcome to add your own ideas if you wish.
It is a great way to meet young Bengalis and communicate in a meaningful way.
Cost
We make a small once only charge to cover our time meeting you and taking you to the class and arranging the class with the college. We stay and see you back to a taxi or metro station. You are free to come back again and again at no other cost to you.
1 person Rs 2000/-
2 people Rs 1200/- per person
3 people Rs 1000/- per person
4 people Rs 800/- per person
5 people Rs 700/- per person
It is possible to combine a walk with the conversation class or participate in the class without the walk.
