What you can expect

This isn't just a tour—it's a journey that unfolds like a real-time movie, following a captivating storyline titled, “Midtown Madness”. Immerse yourself in the pulse of Kolkata's streets, tasting iconic flavors and discovering hidden gems along the way. Let the story lead you through the magic of the City of Joy!

Gather outside The Oberoi Grand Hotel Entrance at 5 pm. As you mingle with fellow participants and our lively guide, anticipation builds for the adventure ahead. Once introductions are made, you'll be immersed in a captivating storyline that unfolds in real-time, keeping you engaged and intrigued every step of the way. Our first stop is at the heart of Kolkata's bustling fashion and street shopping market. Here, we dive into the world of chaats—a beloved genre of street food. We begin with the iconic Phuchka, a crispy fried ball stuffed with a medley of mashed potato, salt, and spices, guaranteed to awaken your senses with its explosive flavors. Next, we savor the tangy crunch of Jhaal Muri, a light and popular snack comprising puffed rice tossed with onions, cucumbers, mustard sauce, chickpeas, and crunchy batter fries. Then, indulge in the comforting warmth of Aloo Tikki Chaat, featuring grilled potato patties topped with chickpeas, tamarind sauce, and a hint of sweetness, crowned with crispy batter fries. Finally, we conclude our chaat expedition with Dahi Phuchka, where the crispy fried balls are stuffed with creamy mashed potatoes, tangy yogurt, and a blend of tamarind and sweet sauce.
After our chaat adventure, it's time for the world-famous Calcutta Kathi Rolls, paratha wrapped with mutton and salad.

Next, hop on the metro to reach Bowbazar, Asia's largest retail marketplace. We pause for an evening darshan at a 200-year-old Kali temple. Built by a Portuguese devotee of the goddess, it's a testament to Kolkata's rich cultural tapestry. Blessed and energized, we make our way to Kolkata's oldest sweet shop, serving up legendary Bengali treats for nearly two centuries and arrive at College Street. We pause at a century-old café for a glass of its famed coconut drink, steeped in history and tales of freedom fighters who once frequented its tables. Next, we board a local bus to an iconic eatery serving fritters for over a century where, we sample their renowned Mango Fritters, bursting with the tangy sweetness of green mangoes and their secret ingredient, along with flavorful Onion Fritters made from various grams and onions.

Next, we stroll through the enchanting alleyways of Old North Kolkata to reach a joint famed for its Prawn Cutlet cooked in clarified butter. We conclude the night in a youthful atmosphere at a lively old school bar. Renowned for its draught beer (please note alcohol is not included), it's the perfect end to our adventure. The tour ends with the reading of the story's outro and full of laughter.
