The next stage of our journey after the Himalayas was in the old British Colonial capital of Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta.

We expected one of the big capital cities in India to present a different experience to that of the previous week, but we weren't quite prepared for just how different. We had visited Delhi and Mumbai on previous trips, but these hadn't prepared us for the mayhem that is Kolkata.

We had some good experiences, including a cricket game at Eden Gardens, and another food tour. Click on the photo to the right to travel there with us.
