Online Booking of Kolkata Hotels

Kolkata or the British Calcutta, dramatically retaining the colonial hangover in its several dilapidated Victorian buildings and in the 130 years old 'Trams', vividly resembling London - the home of its colonial masters, is a charming mirror of the passionate Bengalis, the land of revolutionary poets, sensitive writers, die-hard romantics and cheerful dwellers, exuding an infectious joie de vivre spirit, where each day is a celebration of human existence, a city of festivals known all over the world for Durga Puja, a festival that has broken all barriers of religion, caste and community.

Regarded as the intellectual and cultural capital of the country, its creative and cultural milieu is highly contagious. The dapper gentry loves to indulge in intellectual discourse known as 'Adda' in local language, which means informal conversation where the topic ranges from politics to movies to any thing, which is intellectually stimulating and this 'adda' does not need a proper time or place, it can happen anywhere -in the smoky confines of coffee house, at road side tea stall, at the bus stop and at the daily markets.
