Kolkata & North East India Holidays
asia
Experience history and grand colonial landmarks in Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta), the erstwhile capital of the British Raj whilst Kaziranga National Park offers ample opportunities for superb wildlife spotting, particularly of the endangered one-horned rhino. Good numbers of the majestic Bengal tiger can also be found here.
India has over 1,500 miles of navigable inland waterways, stretching into the country's rural heart. From the Brahmaputra River, a vital artery of the erstwhile East India Company, to the waters of the Lower Ganges which wind their way through the lush landscapes of West Bengal between Kolkata and Farakka, cruising the waterways of North East India is a wonderful way to explore this incredible corner of the country. The tea covered hills around Darjeeling in the Eastern Himalayas boast stunning vistas, scenic mountain railways and picturesque hill stations.
Accessed most conveniently from Kolkata, the off-the-beaten-track hideaway of Havelock Island in the Andamans provides an idyllic beach holiday and is the perfect place to recharge the batteries after a busy touring holiday in Kolkata & North East India.
