We set out early morning, much before the rules against bicycles kick in, on an exploration of the old city of Calcutta - through its unique and interesting localities. Comfortable clothing, average biking ability, hugging corners while riding and listening to directions should give you a great exploration of the old city. Based on the morning's choice we can do: Colonial areas / the Black Town / the Grey Town / Localities By The River / East Calcutta Wetlands or a mix of everything.
