Our city has witnessed many more cultures in its past than most others, even in this globalised present. In this walk, we trace the origins and remains of the many communities that have called Calcutta home. Let’s check out why Chinese breakfast still rules Tiretta Bazar, where the Parsis are dwindling in numbers, and how the Armenians gave the city its oldest surviving Christian church while we pass the Anglo-Indians, the Muslims, the Marwaris, the Biharis and many more that made this city a great melting pot of diverse cultures. This is one of our most popular tours and highly recommended to get an idea of the melting pot that Calcutta is.
