You’ll meet your guide and take the subway to Kolkata’s intellectual heart, a district where Subhas Chandra Bose is often held in higher regard than Gandhi and locals are known for their strong views on rights, independence and food. Along the way you’ll get a sense of the neighbourhood’s spirited character and its lively street‑food culture.
The evening starts at a small street vendor known for one of the district’s best tropical lassis. You’ll hop from spot to spot tasting classic Bengali dishes, including prawns in a fragrant coconut‑milk curry, onion bhajis from a revolutionary food stand, succulent mutton kosha and a variety of Bengali sweets. The tour ends at one of Kolkata’s oldest colonial coffee houses, where nearby university students often gather for lively discussion.
