Kolkata, India

4 to 5 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Arguably the biggest festival of India if not the world. The city gets charged up & does not go to sleep for 7 days. It transcends communities. Everyone enjoys in the bonhomie and high spirits. The streets are lit up and decorated. The pandals come out with literally eye popping creativity that floor you with their scale, accuracy and innovation from a huge spectrum of themes. You marvel at the idol makers who have created the different murtis.Into this festival we shall venture in. NOT from any AC car (spending 70% of the time stalled in traffic). This is not a tour for the weak heart but for people who would be ready to go into the crowd surge and see the festival close up and learn the stories, nuances and enjoy as a local would. We would keep you safe as long as you listen to us.
Pandal names are indicative. We cannot cover all in a single tour but on a pick & choose basis. Please communicate with us before booking a tour. We will have different start times including night tours.
