Kolkata/Calcutta walk tour with Let's Meetup Tours in India
We believe Walking is the best way to see a place. If you drive, you watch the road. In a taxi, the city moves past too quickly. Riding a bicycle is even too fast and distracting. Walking is the only way to really examine the people, the shops, the art, and the trash. The only way to feel the texture of a city at ground level is with your feet.

OUR GUIDE WILL HOP YOU THROUGH THE CITY,

Kolkata Vlog: New Market, Central Business District Walking Tour!
instagram.com/timandglo
October 6, 2014
Our first time day in Kolkata, Indiaaaaaa! YAY! We stayed at the Hotel Bawa Walson.
We took it easy because we were pretty exhausted after our 12:45 am arrival at the airport. We only got to bed around 2:00 am! We kept the day's itinerary simple, exploring the area around Sudder Street - where our hotel is located - and the Central Business District on foot.
Our first stop was New Market, aka Sir Stuart Hogg Market. Because our trip coincided with the Durga Puja Festival, most of the market was closed. We later discovered that one small part of the market was open and eagerly explored. While the market offers a variety of shops, it's filled with touts, which makes it difficult to move even 10 feet before someone tugs on your arm or asks you what you're looking for. Don't overlook the area around New Market, which is gritty and super cool!
We spent the rest of the day looking for historic buildings in the Central Business District, like the High Court, Town Hall, St. John's Church, General Post Office, Writer's Building, etc. Tim's a BIG cricket fan, so we also had to pay homage to Eden Gardens, Kolkata's cricket stadium.
Unfortunately, Glo wasn't feeling well at the end of the day, so we had to cut our walking tour short around BBD Bagh and head straight back to the hotel for dinner and rest. But we totally fell in love with Kolkata on day one and couldn't wait until day two!
Thank you for watching!!
See you in four days for our next upload! :)

Kolkata Slum walking Tours by Let's Meet Up Tours
Our tours are sustainable & provide a positive impact on the community, a proportion of our revenues are distributed to communities.Lets meetup tours
Our mission is twofold; to help slum dwellers eradicate poverty by empowering them to become independent and help improve life for their families. Secondly we aim to help educate and inform a wider community about the challenges of informal settlements, and one of the ways we are achieving that is by arranging walking tours of Kolkata slums, whereby we encourage positive impact on the slum dwellers lives, on the basis if people aren't aware of the issues, they can't help.
We aim to engage in local projects, initially supporting educational development by providing essential lighted space where children can go and study; cook stoves for individual dwellings and communal kitchens; and better access to clean water.
We feel that this is our collective social responsibility and want to inspire people globally to provide aid and help alleviate the appalling conditions in Indian slums, either by encouraging them to become involved and share knowledge or provide support. Knowledge is sometimes more valuable than financial support, as knowledge of the privileged educated class can often help informal communities have access to better living conditions.

Travel Guide to India (Part 1): Calcutta
In Part One of my India travel video guide, I begin my travels in India with Calcutta (Kolkata). India had long been on my bucket list of countries to travel to in the world, and in April, 2013, I finally made it there, starting with Calcutta, with no better reason than the fact was I knew so little about that part of the country.
Calcutta was once the capital of the British Empire in India, and today it's home to over 14 million people, which means the city itself is a crowded, dense, loud, but endlessly fascinating place to explore. In this video I explore the alleyways and grand buildings that make up B.B.D. Bagh, the area where the city was founded.
After checking out a parade (a very common occurrence I was to later learn) and grabbing a roadside cup of chai, I stop at the home of famed poet and writer Rabindranath Tagore, the first Indian to win the Nobel Prize, and whose home is a great place to learn about Calcutta's cultural history.
