Calcutta Capsule Walking tours of Calcutta,Food,Photography,Heritage Walks Unravel secret spots around the 300 year old city through our Walking tours of Calcutta and take in

Every morning, before the sun is up; the light sensitive Neon street lamps of Calcutta go off just when there is enough light. We call this time the Magic hour, and what better way than to see a city when it's waking up. We hop on to the first tram of the day as the city enters the enchanting Magic Hour. The trams, which used to be the king of the roads, still rule the streets during the magic hou

r. Trudging through the sleepy 300 year locality of Calcutta in full throttle (Tram/B**g Speed), the next few hours are spent visiting some local hidden spots around the oldest part of the city. Before the bustling giant city wakes up we’d have used all the iconic transport modes of Calcutta, enjoyed sights that are just ignored in plain sight, had breakfast by a hidden hole in the wall with an extraordinary view, gossiped about Bengalis and Calcutta in general, learnt the meaning to “Adda” and lot more about being B**g. The “unguided tour” as we call it is wrapped up savoring Chai (tea) in a bhaad (earthen cups), the best sweets of Calcutta and finding our way through the winding streets to the place where we began (the tour we mean).

Such an honor and fun it was delivering a guest lecture at for the world Heritage day celebration.

Heartfelt gratitude to the Institute of Travel & Tourism's faculty for inviting me, organising this event and being such gracious hosts.
A big shout out to all the students for being such an amazing audience and making this easy and fun.

When you meet the maker — quite literally.
The century-old Baghbazar Sarbojonin Durga Puja immersion passes through the iconic Shyambazar Five-Point Crossing, where the idol of Goddess Durga seems to meet Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose himself.

It’s a moment steeped in history — Subhash Chandra Bose once served as President of the Baghbazar Puja Committee in 1938–1939, helping shape one of Kolkata’s most celebrated traditions.

Moments like these are why walking tours in Calcutta with Calcutta Capsule are so special — you find yourself at the right place, at the right time, as the city reveals its own kind of magic.

✨ Walk with us this festive season — experience Durga Puja like a local and witness Kolkata’s living heritage unfold before your eyes.
