Description

Discover Kolkata’s vibrant nightlife on a guided tour. Enjoy a light show at the Victoria Memorial, savor street food, and shop at New Market.
Begin with a warm hotel pickup. As you step into your air-conditioned vehicle, a friendly host greets you with a chilled bottle of water and a smile, setting a relaxed tone for the night. The short drive through illuminated city streets brings you to the Victoria Memorial, where the evening truly comes alive.

The memorial grounds host a spectacular laser and projection show, narrating Kolkata’s rich heritage from the days of the British Raj to its modern marvels. The music, colors, and storytelling captivate both first-time visitors and seasoned locals, offering a mesmerizing visual feast.

After the light show, a guided walk leads you to the nearby street food stalls. Here, a local food connoisseur introduces you to an array of iconic Bengali treats. Taste delicate kathi rolls, puchka, jhal muri, and sandesh. Each bite is accompanied by a brief story of its origin and a tip on the perfect spice balance, turning a simple snack into a culinary lesson. A steaming cup of masala tea, served in a traditional earthen cup, completes the tasting session, leaving you refreshed and ready for the next part of the adventure.

The night continues at the adjacent New Market, bathed in lantern light. Stalls display vibrant hand-woven textiles, glittering embroidered garments, intricate jute prints, and aromatic spices. With a knowledgeable guide at your side, learn how to spot quality fabrics, bargain with confidence, and choose the perfect souvenirs. The bustling atmosphere, filled with laughter and the hum of local music, makes shopping feel like an experience rather than a chore.

As the evening winds down, your vehicle whisks you back to your hotel. The drive offers a final glimpse of Kolkata’s illuminated skyline, a perfect backdrop for a satisfied sigh.
