Luxury holidays in Kolkata
If Delhi is India’s head, Kolkata is its soul: culture, literature, cinema, music and spirituality all flower here in the capital of West Bengal, amid the faded Raj-era architecture. And though poverty and inequality certainly persist, it’s a cosmopolitan city that hums with creativity and joy – you’ll feel the buzz in the bustling bazaars, graceful gardens and colourful streets.
When to go
To avoid summer heat and heavy storms, it’s best to visit between September and June.
