Calcutta - Kolkata - the City of Joy. It wasn't that long ago since Calcutta was a sleepy little village. Then the British traders arrived, had a bit of a falling out with the local Bengali leader - and a little incident called "The Black Hole of Calcutta," caused a problem.
After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, the Bengali leader found himself defeated, a new leader was put in place, and eventually the British went on to unite the vast country we now know as modern India.
But that's all in the past. Calcutta today is a vibrant, incredible, colourful city that is driving forward quickly into the twenty-first century. Our local author, Amrita Santara, will take you through the things to do, and things to see in the city - so download the book now and lets get started on planning your new, memorable vacation.
