Description
Magnificent, incredible, beautiful—yet even these words fall short of describing Kolkata, the cultural capital of India. This vibrant city lives every moment to the fullest. Once an important seat of British rule, it is home to many colonial monuments as well as the Missionaries of Charity founded by Mother Teresa. Exploring the heritage of Kolkata, fondly called the “City of Joy,” is truly a delightful experience, with its rich history, culture, and stunning architecture. • Explore Kolkata's rich heritage on a half-day tour • Get to visit Mother’s House, Victoria Memorial, the Indian Museum, & the James Prinsep Monument • Option: English-speaking guide or an English speaking driver • Hotel pick-up and drop-off from your Kolkata hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle.

Kolkata (Calcutta)
Pick up from your hotel in Kolkata.
Mother House
Since February 1953, this has been the home of Mother Teresa and her sisters. She lived, prayed, and worked here while leading her community of sisters around the world. This is also the place where she was laid to rest.
Victoria Memorial Hall
The Victoria Memorial is a grand white marble monument built between 1906 and 1921 in memory of Queen Victoria (1819–1901). Today, it serves as both a museum and a popular tourist attraction managed by the Ministry of Culture. Located on the Maidan near Jawaharlal Nehru Road (Chowringhee Road), the memorial covers 57 acres of land with 21 landscaped gardens. Inside, it houses over 28,000 artifacts and nearly 4,000 artistic paintings. Attracting around 2 million visitors each year, the Victoria Memorial remains one of the most iconic landmarks to visit in Kolkata.
Indian Museum (Jadu Ghar)
Next, our guide will take you to the Indian Museum, the oldest and largest museum in the country. It’s one of the top attractions in Kolkata, especially for youngsters, offering a chance to explore India’s rich cultural and traditional heritage.
Our trip ends at Prinsep Ghat, located along the banks of the Hooghly River. Built during British rule, this memorial reflects a blend of Greek and Gothic architecture. At night, the area comes alive as the Setu glows with dazzling lights, making it one of the best places to visit in Kolkata after dark. It’s also a favorite picnic spot where families come to relax and enjoy the cool breeze from the river.
