Walking Calcutta
This wandering odyssey through the City's pullulating backstreets and serpentine byways reveals a Calcutta rarely glimpsed by western travellers. Arranged as a series of journeys on foot through the older quarters of the City seldom trod by outsiders, the narrative chronicles the topography, social and historical background and the vibrant street life and characters which give Calcutta its uniqueness. Complete with detailed directions and street maps for the areas explored, the book provides a storehouse of indispensable information for the intrepid traveller.

Enjoyed the book--very nice idea and some very nice descriptions. My only gripe was that I'd wished the book had covered more walks in south Kolkata. Small complaint in the scheme of things!

liked reading the book, and especially knowing about places i have never been to or heard about in my own city after having lived here all my life... wish there was more of south calcutta...

I live in Calcutta and this guy makes me look at the city like I've never seen it.
