Our Northeast India wildlife holiday ends today. You have the day to yourself; you can spend the day relaxing at your hotel or exploring this fascinating city, before heading out to the airport for your flight back home. Kolkata is the capital city of the Indian state of West Bengal. It is known as the cultural capital of India and is the third-most populous metropolitan area in India. The city is dotted with colonial buildings as it served as the capital of India during the British Raj until 1911. The Victoria Memorial, St. Paul’s Cathedral, etc., are fine examples of the beautiful colonial architecture of Kolkata.
Requires a spirit of adventure and some degree of fitness, as the trip might consist of many activities or long journeys. These adventures involve walking, trekking, hiking, cycling, rafting, sea kayaking, or driving for long hours, at times for up to six to eight hours a day at a steady pace. The maximum altitude is 3000m, so it requires you to be reasonably physically fit because you may be travelling in extreme weather conditions. The trips are usually 6 to 12 days in duration.
