East India - Kolkata - discover the real India

Shop for fresh lobster and crab, or for the many, many different types of fresh fish with the locals amongst the open markets which are a few minutes away. Kolkata is the perfect way to discover some real and modern India. Visit the historic Victoria Memorial Hall, the many shopping malls or the theme parks. Less than hour away by air is the Sunderban National park, the largest wild tiger reserve in the world - see these beautiful creatures in their prime before it is too late. For those who like surfing visit the beach resort of Puri where waves reach 30ft high or for adventure seekers, take a long drive into the Himalayan mountain resort of Missouri, where your proximity to these magnificent mountains can become a deeply spiritual experience. Experience some true India, the breathtaking beauty, the poverty, the modern, the historic, the nature.
