Kolkata is best visited during "Durga Puja". If you be here on this occasion, it will be a life time experience! Durga puja starts on September or October and last for quite a few days like 9 days. Each year the dates and timings change.
@@FXT130 Please lock yourself at home. Durga Puja is the greatest vibe. People who dislike this are either caveman or anti-socials. And it is the cheap mentality of people who throw trash here and there. It has got nothing to do with Colourful Durga Puja festival in Kolkata. Please google and see that Durga Puja in Kolkata has been listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. And wherever there are people there will be crowd which also signifies energy. If you personally do not like to participate please be at home and don't advise the same to others.
For someone, who is miles away from the city in another continent, this video of my hometown from the perspective of a visitor was so refreshing and nostalgic. Soham did justice to the city. Hope you had wonderful time in East India..
Ah I am glad you enjoyed the video! Nice compliment! I really enjoyed the vibrancy of the city and it was awesome getting to experience Kolkata together with Soham. 😁
The best time to visit Kolkata is Durga Puja, Kali puja or Christmas. And there are two parts of Kolkata one is old , busy , chaotic, so many people and new one New Town area less people, wide , green , less chaotic. And as you are a fan of Nature you should have gone to Sundarbans (worlds largest Mangrove forest), Jalda para or Goru mara National park .
@@talesofodyssey As an Indians I would like to tell you that Bengal and Bengalies don't represent us Indians or India...Please don't count their culture as Indian culture.
I spent a day in Calcutta on my way to Bhutan... Wish I could have stayed longer. The vibes are electric to say the least and the city has so much character as you rightly pointed out. Will you be uploading more vlogs from Calcutta?
Harriet and I enjoyed our time in Kolkata, The Victoria Memorial and the flower markets. An interesting history of Indian and European culture. Love the video. Wonderfully done Rachelle ❤🙏❤ Jim, Harriet and Yuki
Bengali people have very high creativity I really enjoy Bengali cinema particularly Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, Ritwik Ghatak, Aparna Sen, Rituparna Ghosh, Tapan Sinha etc. I have also seen new Bengali films like Autograph, Hemlock Society, Chotushkone, Fatfati, Haami 1 and Haami 2. Also the Bengali Music is amazing like Fossils, Chandrabindoo, Cactus, Parash Pathar, Prithbi, Folk Diaryz, Anjan Dutta, Anupam Roy, Somalata Chowdhury etc etc.
Hello, Kolkata is one of the biggest cities in India and they have many religious ceremonies and festivals. India mostly has old taxi cars. Old cars are still beautiful to travel my friend

I am from Kolkata. I love to see your videos and happy to watch you exploring Kolkata.Lots of love to you.

Not really if she doesn't like crowd
Absolutely not, it is over crowded, chaos, too much noise, garbage during Durga Puja.

@@sudiptoatutubebut very nosey n uncivilized at that time. Same during Eidd in Hyderbad or Mallapuram or Delhi
Best time is December to January for sure I am from howrah btw
Love from Kolkata new town and Bengali the sweetest language in the world❤😊
It's not sweetest language...It's a horrendous language which is nauseating. bengholies belong in BanglaDesh ,not India.

@@talesofodysseyvisit us again. Visit kolkata in October if possible during durga puja
totally agree. 🎯👌
@@talesofodyssey You are from which country?
Glad to see you explore the city of joy ❤, however you MUST come visit Kolkata during Durga Puja, it would be an experience of a lifetime guranteed ✨💖
Haha so many people have recommended this! Will have to add it to my list. Thanks for watching 😎
Warm welcome to West Bengal. Be safe & enjoy.
Thank you 😊🙏🏼
It should be called WASTE bengal.💩
The best time to visit Kolkata is Durga Puja, Kali puja or Christmas. And there are two parts of Kolkata one is old , busy , chaotic, so many people and new one New Town area less people, wide , green , less chaotic. And as you are a fan of Nature you should have gone to Sundarbans (worlds largest Mangrove forest), Jalda para or Goru mara National park .
Sundarbans video is next 😉
Right you are! Your understanding of this is impeccable.
Theres no best time to visit Kolkata or Bengal...It's an Anti Indian state overrun by illegal Bangladeshis and Rohingyas.
@@talesofodyssey As an Indians I would like to tell you that Bengal and Bengalies don't represent us Indians or India...Please don't count their culture as Indian culture.

Great to hear you liked the city too! 😁 so the next video won’t be in the city of Kolkata but in the incredible Sundarbans!
Agreed and double-tapped

Glad you guys enjoyed it too! I thought the city was very cool as well 😊 have a good weekend guys
European culture but how ?
You've hit the nail on the head! Totally aligned with your perspective.
Bengali people have very high creativity I really enjoy Bengali cinema particularly Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, Ritwik Ghatak, Aparna Sen, Rituparna Ghosh, Tapan Sinha etc.

Thanks for the recommendations! Been to a few places on your list 😊 I like a mix of lesser known and well visited places!
To feel and know kolkata you need to come during The Durga Puja festival in kolkata.
When did you go there? Kolkata right now is very cold and has quite a bit of smog.
I have mentioned it throughout the video. This was the day before Diwali
@@talesofodyssey that's good then, you went during the festive season.
Thanks for visiting our place. 😊❤
Nice video 😊
Thanks 😊
You missed the tramways of Calcutta..
