Standing on the banks of River Ganges, Kolkata’s centuries old ghats are as unique to it as is their history. Follow Bourdain and visit the several ghats that line our city’s banks like Prinsep, Babughat, Mullick, Baghbazar which not only afford mesmerising views of the river and the city, but are also significant sites that narrate history. Bourdain visited the Loha Ghat (the Zenana Ghat that was only open to women) and also the akharas for mud wrestling that stand close to the ghats in Bara Bazar. With just three akharas surving now, explore these facets of Kolkata before they die out.
