An exotic holiday in Kolkata

Kolkata or Calcutta capital of the Indian state of West Bengal has grown to rank among the four major metropolitan cities of India. Rich in history and culture, Kolkata is also the gateway to the unexplored attractions of North Eastern India.

Calcutta has a tropical wet-and-dry climate. Calcutta is at the perfect distance from a variety of tourism destinations. The best time to plan a holiday in Calcutta is between September and March. You can also visit Kolkata during winters as the season is never too biting to bear.

Prefer to stroll around the city by using the extensive public transport facilities. Local buses are often jam-packed, but the underground train system, that is the Metro, is a less hassling way of riding through the city. A good way to get value for money during your stay in Kolkata would be to buy Metro tickets for multiple rides.

Trams play only on selected routes in Kolkata. If you are on a holiday to Kolkata than do try the Tram Heritage Tour run by the Calcutta Tram Company. Taxis are also available in plenty in Calcutta. The tourist can also plan an exotic vacation outside West Bengal, using Kolkata as the starting point.

An overnight train journey, a bus ride for a few hours or a short flight can help you to reach up this holiday destination.
