The ever-vital hub of traditional Bengali culture, 'the natives' area, Sovabazar is all this and much more. This area contains a fascinatingly cosmopolitan blend of the seemingly incongruous architectural forms (from Islamic to Baroque, from Victorian to Bengali) which made up the old world dwellings of the city's wealthier Bengalis. Most of the palatial buildings stand to this day. Explore the narrow lanes of North Calcutta that can be compared only with the lanes of Varanasi. No one who wishes to savor the authentic flavor of Bengali culture and cuisine can afford to miss out on this walk. Join us to learn much more about life in the Black Town, to get a glimpse of this time warp called Bengali Calcutta.
