- I just traveled back in time! This is Kolkata, or Calcutta until 2001 - the second largest city of India and capital of West Bengal. It was also a capital of British Raj (1858-1911).
First, I briefly introduce the main landmarks in the city, such as Victoria Memorial, Prinsep Ghat, B.B.D. Bagh area with its British colonial legacy. There is also a famous and oldest in India cricket stadium Eden Gardens, where I was lucky enough to talk to a fans of upcoming game between Kolkata Night Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Later, I have also explored Park Street, which used to be a famous nightclub and jazz place among British, then visited intellectual heart of the city at College Street with Kolkata University and Indian Coffee House, had a tram ride by the oldest tram system in Asia, followed by exploration of Chinatown and other ethnic neighborhoods, where Armenians and Jews used to live!
All this makes Kolkata really unique and special place in India, where lots of Hindustan Ambassador yellow taxis give you Wes Anderson movies vibes all the time!
Enjoy its ample British legacy and very rich history of Calcutta, the former capital of British Raj!

Menyenangkan sekali bisa pergi traveling ke Negara India❤
nice 1❤
Also vist the northern parts of West Bengal such as Siliguri, Darjeeling, Doars, Cooch Behar palace... These places are worth visiting, you would love it.... ❤
Yes, for sure, thank you for suggestions! Next time when I go to Kolkata (which is just 3.5 hours away from my home) I will go to Sundarbans and then up north to Darjeeling and around. Just need more days next time to see more! 🇮🇳❤
@@SoAndrew sure 😀❤️
Being an Indian, even I was not this well versed with the history of Kolkata. Thanks for opening my eyes. I had no idea that Armenians were settled in Kolkata even before brits came. This was a surprise for me.
Same, this is interesting part of Kolkata. Chinatown and Cantonese traditional houses also surprised me a lot.
Kolkata was built before british that proved in calcutta high court before many years
Wow impressive
Thank you! 😊
Eden Gardens ❤️
🏏🇮🇳❤
Nice bro

Please visit the countryside areas of West Bengal I haven't seen any vlogger vlogging in a village area
I have traveled to Gangasagar. My next video will be about the trip there, ~100 km south of Kolkata 👍
@@SoAndrew very excited to see there
Where is i am
Next video! Gangasagar video! 😎
@@SoAndrew okay brother ❤
@@zayngamer950 💪❤🇮🇳
If you are in west bengal, then go to Sundarbans. Thats the only best place w bengal has for you.
And then go to explore 7 sister states and sikkim.
And explore kerela, and forts of maharashtra, whole of rahasthan, salt desert Gujarat, kashmir and Laddakh.
I have given you full travel just go through it. Otherwise there is of no use to come to india from suck long distance.
Thank you for the recommendation and valuable information! I had only 4 days in West Bengal and apart from Kolkata traveled to Ganga Sagar, which is my next video will be about.
I live only 3.5 hours away from Kolkata by flight, so it's not a problem to come there for a weekend.
And indeed, will plan more trips soon, including the places you've mentioned! 👍
@@SoAndrew Okay, the places which I have mentioned, are the speciality of India. India has so much to offer to the world due to its exotic geography.
Indian govt is also responsible that foreigners come to India visit taj mahal, delhi and sometimes few parts pf raj and go back home. Then they India has only this much to offer.
Indian tourism sucks. So you resrarch by yourself to travel to the most beautiful country and most diverse country atleast of asia.
@@SoAndrew We have scotland here netherlands here iceland land alps here Sahara desert here. You name it and we have it.
We are going to take back pok abd then we will have switzerland here too. For now it is in pakist an.
@@SoAndrew Please type 'tourist places in azad kashmir' in google. Its unforgettable surprise awaiting for you.
@@shagunkhurana7661 Agreed. India is os vast, you need a lifetime to explore it and still won't be enough...
