Setting sail from Kolkata

Formerly known as Calcutta, Kolkata was the capital of British India, and is now the capital of West Bengal. During the British colonial era, frenzied building took place, with strong European influences - British, but also Portuguese and French. The City of Palaces boasts palatial mansions on every corner, most sadly now in various stages of impressive decay. The city boasts numerous museums and libraries, as well as number of lavish administrative buildings and grand hotels, clubs, statues and memorials - all remnants of its colonial past. Alongside these, vibrant temples provide an exciting contrast.

Our tip

The first Indian tea auction centre was set up in Kolkata, so make sure you taste some of the local teas while you are here.

Arriving in Mumbai

We love Mumbai! Formerly known as Bombay, this amazing city is larger than life and packed to bursting with things to see and do. Here people of all religions and nationalities live cheek by jowl, thriving communities from all over the world with the foods, smells, languages and rituals maintained at top volume - here in Mumbai, everything really is turned up to 11! For many people, the seething rush of humanity is too much, and we quite understand why some tell us they will never go back. But we think you could return time and again, and never get to grips with this thriving city. Be prepared to be overwhelmed!

Don't miss

The outdoor laundry, Dhobi Ghat, has to be one of the most extraordinary sights in the world – an expanse of soapy tubs with wringers, clothes lines, coal heated irons and frenzied activity.

Ways to make it better
Oberoi Grand Kolkata

Our recommended hotel in Kolkata

As a general rule you can’t go wrong with Oberois, and we especially like the Oberoi Grand, the Grande Dame of Chowringhee.

Dharavi slum, Mumbai

Take a private tour around Mumbai

Get a guide to take you away from the tourist hotspots, exploring instead the many different communities and markets, for a taste of the real Mumbai. We thought the Fishing Slum was a wonderful place.
