Enjoy a different Kolkata at the :
Maidan : Three km in length and over one km in width, the rambling
green is the ‘lung of Kolkata’. Dotted with colourful maidan clubs, the
area is a hub of diverse activities.
Eden Gardens : Named after Lord Auckland’s sister, this
picturesque garden has a tiny Burmese pagoda set in a small lake. It also houses
Kolkata’s Cricket Stadium.
Outram Ghat, Ganges riverfront : A pleasant walk. View the
majesty of the busiest bridge in the world, the Howrah Bridge and the Vidyasagar Setu
– an awesome structural feat. Or enjoy a cruise on the river in a panshi.
Zoological Garden : Covers 16 hectares of land and built in
1876. The lakes within are a favourite retreat for migratory Siberian birds.
Horticultural Garden : The lush environment is also the venue
for exotic plant and flower exhibitions.
Rabindra Sarovar : A park and picnic spot with a central lake
and overhanging trees. The rowing regatta events are held there.
