PACKAGE OVERVIEW
Kolkata is India’s most intellectually and culturally layered city — a place where colonial power, nationalist movements, art, literature, and politics intersected to shape modern India.
This journey first explores Kolkata’s colonial and cultural legacy through curated walks, architecture, and storytelling. It then transitions to the Sundarbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest, offering a stark yet meaningful contrast — from imperial boulevards to fragile delta ecosystems.
Designed for travellers who want depth, contrast, and narrative, not just sightseeing.
