Morning Bazaar Walking Tour in Kolkata

Hooghly, a distributary of the Ganges is integral to the very identity of Bengal. It gives and sustains life for the millions that depend on it. From the wrestlers who exercise on its soft clay to the boatmen who ferry people across, from the flower sellers who need the water to keep their produce fresh to the boys who throw magnets and retrieve coin offerings from its bed. Join us in exploring this visual, aural and olfactory riot from the flower bazaar to the clay idol makers’ den, Kumartuli, from the Howrah Bridge to the cremation Ghats – it’s the buzz of life.

As the day unfolds, take a break to visit a historic building from the British Raj era, rich with architectural charm. Your guide will share fascinating stories about the history of this magnificent city as you proceed to Kumortuli, the potters’ colony of Kolkata.

Here, you’ll witness craftsmen creating hundreds of clay idols using age-old techniques, without any modern machinery. These intricate idols are molded into deities and used in temples for ceremonial rituals. Learn from your guide about the traditional significance of these clay creations.

After the tour, we will take you back to your hotel in Kolkata.
