Travelling to Calcutta
Kolkata is a fascinating global city with a rich history. With a population of 4.5 million, the city began with the arrival of the English East India Company in 1690. Recorded history shows that the area has been inhabited for over 2000 years. Visiting this city will be an experience that you are not likely to soon forget. Here is some information that you will need to know in order to properly enjoy your trip:
Timing your trip – Kolkata's weather
Like any other destination, there are times to travel that are good and some that are not so good. The best time to travel to Calcutta is usually from September to January. During the summer months from March to June it can be very hot and humid, and the monsoon season is usually from May to September.
Holidays and Festivals in Kolkata
There are many holidays and festivals that the local population would be glad for you to witness. First of all, in January there is the Kolkata Book Fair (Kolkata Boi Mela) and around the 15th of April there is a large celebration commemorating the Bengali New Year (Poila Baisakh). During this time, the streets are festive with many colourful early morning processions. On October 1st there is a festival in honour of the Goddess Durga, noted for being the root cause of creation, preservation etc.. In the first week of November there is a festival in honour of the Goddess Kali, with blazing lights and fireworks. Kali is known in as being a force associated with empowerment.
