Kolkata Darjeeling Gangtok Tour

Your Kolkata Darjeeling Gangtok itinerary starts from Kolkata. Get assistance with pick up from Railway Station/ Airport and transfer to the hotel. Check in to the hotel and relax for some time. Later, freshen up and proceed for sightseeing in the ‘City of Joy’. Kolkata has been the most glorious city in East India. The cultural, historical, and charming city was a major hub in the British Raj and to date is a fascinating metropolis. Start with a visit to the holy Kalighat Kali Temple. The famous temple of the banks of the River Hooghly (the name of the River Ganges in Kolkata) is dedicated to the goddess Kali. This is one of the 51 Shakti Peetha, where the right toe of Dakshayani Sati is said to have fallen here. Considered as one of the Holiest of Hindu Pilgrimage Centres, the temple sees the footfall of thousands of devotees every day. However, Tuesdays and Saturdays are considered very auspicious, and the crowd increases a hundred folds on these two days. After the divine blessing, pay a visit to the Alipore Zoo. Explore the zoo and spot some of the exotic species of flora and fauna. The evening is free at leisure. You can choose to visit the Victoria Memorial and its lush gardens or take a ferry ride on the River Hooghly, awe at the Howrah Bridge on your own. You can also plan an outing to the vibrant markets of Kolkata to get your hands on some wonderful bargains or savor the mouthwatering street flavors, Bengalis sweets, and specialties of Bengali cuisine. Return to the hotel for overnight stay.
