Boat Tours – Kolkata

On the banks of the river Ganges, sailing by the Kolkata attractions. It’s a very different way of taking in this Bengal city. A boat tour, however, is a wonderful way to see this city from a different perspective. You’ll cruise under the towering Howrah Bridge, by the busy railway station and the heritage sites that line the riverbank. Booking a Kolkata sightseeing river cruise is the serene way to see one of India’s most historic destinations.

Experience Boat Tours in Kolkata

Best things to do: The West Bengal capital is more than just a city of colonial architecture and art galleries, although those places are well worth seeking out. Mix it up a little, and you’ll have the full Kolkata package. There’s the Victoria Memorial to visit and the dominating Howrah Bridge. The Mother House of the Missionaries of Charity is a place well worth seeking out. It’s the convent where Mother Teresa is buried. For those who like a museum, Science City and the Indian Museum are well worth checking out.

Best time to visit: Visit Kolkata in summer, and you will experience hot and humid conditions. So head there during the winter months, and you’ll find the weather to be far more favourable. October to February is the month to aim for.

Ready for an adventure? What better way to explore this city than taking a walking tour? Head into the markets and see Kolkata life close up. Perhaps sample the local cuisine or walk through the colleges and universities. Combining your Kolkata visit with a river cruise and walking tour will capture the best this city offers.


• Believe it or not, Kolkata's heart doesn’t beat just for cricket. It’s actually football that is most loved. It has the second-oldest football league in the world! Sorry, Cricket takes a backseat here!

• Kolkata was once the capital of India due to the trade importance during British Rule. Delhi became the capital. Kolkata lost its capital status back in 1911.
