How to Experience kolkata Like a Local

For cheap and best Travel Bookings - https://travelinternationals.com/

Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta, is a city brimming with history, culture, and charm. To truly experience Kolkata like a local, it’s essential to immerse yourself in the daily life of its residents, explore its hidden gems, and indulge in the flavors that make the city so unique. Here’s how you can do just that:

Take a Walk Through the Streets of Old Kolkata Start your journey by walking through the iconic streets of North Kolkata. These narrow lanes, lined with old colonial buildings and temples, offer a glimpse of the city’s rich history. The hustle and bustle of markets, old bookstores, and vibrant tea stalls are an integral part of Kolkata’s charm. The area around College Street, known as the "Boi Para" or Book Market, is a must-visit for book lovers.

Savor Authentic Bengali Cuisine No trip to Kolkata is complete without indulging in its legendary cuisine. Skip the fancy restaurants and head to local eateries or street food vendors for an authentic experience. Try a traditional Bengali breakfast of ‘Luchi alur torkari’ or enjoy mouthwatering sweets like ‘Rasgulla’ and ‘Sandesh’ at one of the many sweet shops. Don’t forget to visit the famous "Kwality" for a hearty lunch of ‘Bengali Fish Curry’ or ‘Shorshe Ilish’.

Ride a Hand-Pulled Rickshaw For a truly local experience, hop onto a hand-pulled rickshaw in the old quarters of Kolkata. While this mode of transportation is becoming increasingly rare, it’s still an integral part of the city’s history. These rickshaws take you through narrow alleys where you can see Kolkata at its most authentic.

Enjoy the Local Markets Kolkata’s markets are a wonderful way to see the city through the eyes of its residents. From the bustling New Market to the vibrant flower market near Howrah Bridge, these places are not just for shopping—they are a window into the city’s soul. Explore the colorful markets, interact with the vendors, and take in the sights and sounds of everyday Kolkata life.

Visit the Local Art and Cultural Centers Kolkata is often referred to as the cultural capital of India, and the city offers plenty of opportunities to experience its artistic side. Spend some time in the many galleries and theaters that showcase local art, music, and dance performances. The Indian Museum and the Victoria Memorial are also must-see attractions that give you an insight into Kolkata’s colonial past and its cultural heritage.

To truly experience Kolkata like a local, slow down and embrace the city's pace. Explore its streets, savor its flavors, and be open to the many wonderful experiences that this vibrant city has to offer.
