2N/3D Luxury Colonial Tour with Oberoi Hotels

Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta in English, is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal and is located in eastern India on the east bank of the River Hooghly. The city was a colonial city developed by the British East India Company and then by the British Empire. Kolkata was the capital of the British Indian empire until 1911 when the capital was relocated to Delhi. Kolkata grew rapidly in the 19th century to become the second city of the British Empire. This was accompanied by the development of a culture that fused European philosophies with Indian tradition.

The Kolkata of today is a window to the past – from the days of the Raj, when Britain ruled India. The Luxury Colonial Tour with Oberoi Hotels gives a rich intoxication experience of the bygone era. It is a must for lovers at heart.
