The Story Behind Kolkata Chronicles

The Story Behind Kolkata Chronicles

Kolkata Chronicles was born from a simple realisation—visitors and even locals often struggle to connect with the real Kolkata. Online searches show only the usual places or, worse, paint the city in a negative light. But beyond the noise lies a rich, layered history—one that lives in the ghats, lanes, temples, and tea stalls by the river. We started Kolkata Chronicles to bridge that gap, offering authentic, immersive walks that reveal the city’s forgotten stories, vibrant traditions, and resilient spirit.
