Calcutta (Kolkata)

Kolkata, a huge Indian city on the border with Bangladesh in West Bengal, is a charming and special place to stop or pass through when leaving or entering India or the Hummus Trail.
The city is usually reached if you want to go to the Assam region and northeastern India, the 7 Sisters of Nagaland, etc.
You can also find a direct exit to Andaman by flight or boat and cheap flights to Thailand from Kolkata or Sri Lanka, etc.
The city is dirty, busy and full of people. But it is still full of culture with a good atmosphere and places worth visiting, such as the Street Park, where it is worth watching the sunset with other Indians playing cricket or riding bicycles in the park or groups of students sitting in circles. Near the park is the Victoria Memorial, which is a stunning structure. In addition, there are places like the zoo and the aquarium and places along the river that are worth stopping at.
