East to West: Highlights of the Gangetic Plain
An immersive 2-week urban and rural adventure across the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Step away from the tourist trail and into authentic India.
A walk through Kolkata's food markets is a great way to discover the city's diverse food traditions. A traditional Bengali meal is an elaborate affair with multiple courses - rice, the staple dish is eaten with several delicious accompaniments including Bengal's famous milk based desserts. Bengal's food has also been influenced by the many communities that settled here over the ages from the Nawab of Oudh through to the thriving Indian Chinese and Armenian communities and of course the colonial powers of Portugal, Britain and the Dutch.
You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively for you.
