On regal Royal Enfield motorbikes this tour takes you to all the different European colonies that existed around the Ganges. We start with Barrackpore, once home to the British army and site of the beginning of the 1857 revolt, and end at Hooghly, once home to the earliest Portuguese settlement, now best remembered for the Bandel Church.

 

Serampore of the Danes, Chinsurah of the Dutch, Chandannagar of the French and Hooghly of the Portuguese. It’s a full day trip that will give you a deeper understanding of the European colonies that neighbored Calcutta.
