British Raj Heritage-wandeling in Kolkata met gids
Beschrijving
Herleef de Britse erfenis - Traceer opnieuw onze stappen naar het koloniale tijdperk en bezoek enkele prominente herkenningspunten die de geschiedenis van Kolkata hebben bepaald. Kom meer te weten over Job Charnock, de oprichter van British Kolkata, die in 1690 de dorpen Sutanuti, Gobindapur en Kalikata kocht van de Bengaalse subedar Azim Usman en in de loop van de tijd werd Kokata de hoofdstad van de Oost-Indische Compagnie. Een culturele evangelist neemt je enkele eeuwen terug om het verhaal van Kolkata onder de East India Company & the British Empire te vertellen.

Reisroute
De wandeling begint bij Writers gebouw, bedoeld voor de lagere bureaucratie van de Oost-Indische Compagnie en getuige van vele onafhankelijkheidsbewegingen.
Loop naar het Mausoleum van Job Charnock, de grondlegger van het moderne Kolkata.
St John's Church, gebouwd in 1787 door architect James Agg. Waardeer het schilderij "Last Supper" op de muren van de St Johns Church.
Bezoek het huis van de gouverneur die de residentie was van de onderkoning van India nadat de Britse kroon de teugels van India overnam van de Oost-Indische Compagnie.
We ronden de wandeling af bij het legendarische Victoria Memorial, gebouwd door George Curzon. Let op: op maandag is het monument gesloten en bezoeken we alleen de tuin.

Bratati was an excellent guide and interesting with her storytelling.

The tour was great and our guide Nemai was very lovely! We saw all the sights around Lal Dighi, St. Johns church, the Victoria memorial and St. pauls cathedral.
This was a very good tour and our guide Shaha was very friendly and informative. We toured the main Raj sites and her level of detail was very well pitched. She gave a good feel of what it was like at that time.
Very informative who was able to answer any questions. Tour covered most of the Raj associated buildings and infrastructure plus some interesting associated stories.
I had a great walk with Bratati as my guide. She picked me up from my hotel exactly as agreed and then we spent 3 really informative hours exploring the Victoria Monument and Dalhousie Square. I learnt a great deal about the history and architecture of the places we visited - and Bratati had many colourful stories she used to really bring the place to life. I would certainly recommend this experience.
The tour encompassed a variety of historical buildings during the age of British colonialism and the guide, Bratati, was instrumental in conveying her knowledge on the subject. Her English is wonderful.
