I had been to Kolkata twice, both these trips were official. I travelled first in 2018 and was lucky to spend few days around Sunderbans. I was at Kolkata one more time in Jan 2020. This time I was seeing more of Kolkata City and had also been to Shanthiniketan.

Shantiniketan is a town located around 150 kilometres from Kolkata. Shantiniketan was established in 1863 by Maharishi Debendranath Tagore, developed and started by Rabindranath Tagore as a place of learning in 1901. The curriculum in Shantiniketan is a unique blend of art, human values and cultural interchange. Even today in Shantiniketan classes are held in open air and close to nature, unlike in classrooms.

Kolkata City When I was in Kolkata, I visited Victoria Memorial, Howrah Bridge, Dakshineshwar Kali Temple, Park Street and Belur Math. In most of the places I visited photography was not allowed and hence, I could not click any photos in these landmark places. Kolkata is a Beautiful city where we can see the old and new city in any street. What I liked the most about Kolkata is the wide range and quality of food and the very reasonable price we are charged on anything we buy or eat.

Kolkata is another place in my list that I have to visit on a holiday. There are so many places in or around Kolkata that must be visited with my camera. For Someone who loves Paani Poori and Deserts, I get to see places and also eat food I like. Stay Safe and Take Care.
