Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) is considered the cultural capital of India. This enchanting region offers a compelling travel experience, blending rich heritage and natural beauty. It also features some of the finest remnants of architecture in the country that whisper tales of a bygone era. Deeply rooted in legacy, the northeast is less frequently visited, but well worth the journey. Admire views of Everest and Kanchenjunga from Tiger Hill, and journey on a ‘toy’ train through the rolling hills of tea to the former hill station of Darjeeling. Your journey through the northeast is a chance to delve into the landscape of India’s rich heritage, where each experience adds a new hue to your understanding of her.
