Hitting up Park Street on Christmas day may be a staple every year, but have you had the chance to get a glimpse into the revelry of the city's iconic Anglo-Indian hood? Walking tour company Kolkata Explorers are organising a Christmas special walk that will take you around the old and charming hood of Bow Barracks while exploring the various Anglo-Indian traditions of Kolkata.
A neighbourhood close to Bow Bazar, but tucked away from the din of Central Avenue, Bow Barracks with its row of red houses decks up in all its glory for a week-long celebration for Christmas. Lights, streamers, songs, dance, games, food and wine - they throw one helluva an amazing party for Christmas that is open for all to attend.
Another perk, the walk will also take you around the local bakeries in this area so you can taste and buy the best local Christmas cakes! Tea and light refreshment will also be provided by the walking company while on the tour.
