This is a Story Walk & one of our most popular tours, certified by so many travelers through the years! If you like listening to stories about the Raj days and Kolkata then this is your tour! It is a very interesting story of how the British started trading in this part of the world rivalling earlier European entrants. Many a booming cannon later, they became the leading traders. What followed was a small fort, a big port, a great battle, many changing fortunes and lots of colonial cunning & politics. The East India Company & later the Flag of the Empire gave a lot of importance to Calcutta for its trading, political and administrative clout. She was after all the Capital of British India for a long time & arguably the second most important city in the Empire. Along with Defense & Administration came institutions for Entertainment, Education & Emancipation. The light of European renaissance came as an ambient source & later cascaded into its own indigenous, self generating brightness.

The Hooghly River north of Kolkata holds a compelling story. Within forty kilometres, three European nations built towns, churches, and trading houses on the same banks—the French at Chandannagar, the Portuguese at Bandel, and the Danes at Serampore—competing for influence over the Mughal Empire’s wealthiest province. This private day trip takes you through all three settlements. At Chandannagar, walk through Dupleix Palace, where French governors plotted the downfall of the British, and see Patalbari, the mansion that hosted Tagore. At Bandel, visit Bengal’s oldest European church (1660), where blossoms grow among the graves of Portuguese traders. At Serampore, see the college where William Carey founded Asia’s first university and printed the first Bengali newspaper in 1818. Everything is private: your group, a cultural guide, an air-conditioned car, and a traditional lunch. One day. Three centuries. Three countries. One river. A journey through a forgotten corridor of history.
