We will start the tour at Akashbani Bhawan, the All India Radio building ( a familiar city landmark ) .

From here, we walk for about 10 minutes through the city’s heritage district, seeing the Town Hall, High Court, State Assembly and the popular Eden Gardens cricket stadium, to reach the banks of the river at Babu Ghat.

The Babu Ghat river bank is an interesting place, with lots of activity ( traditional masseurs, barbers, priests, and people offering prayers ) . We will clamber aboard one of the popular local ferries to Howrah. The ride takes about 30 minutes, offering panoramic views of the twin cities ( Calcutta and Howrah ) on both sides of the river, and the bridge spanning the river.

After disembarking, we will visit the bustling Howrah Station. Built in Romanesque style, this huge station is among the largest in the country. If you feel like a cup of tea, you can take a short break at the station.

From here, we will join commuters to walk on the iconic Howrah bridge back to Calcutta ( 25 minutes )

At the bottom of the bridge, we will visit the Flower Market, with its many stalls buzzing with activity, providing the perfect colourful ending to the walk.
