الوصف

The Hooghly River north of Kolkata holds a compelling story. Within forty kilometres, three European nations built towns, churches, and trading houses on the same banks—the French at Chandannagar, the Portuguese at Bandel, and the Danes at Serampore—competing for influence over the Mughal Empire’s wealthiest province. This private day trip takes you through all three settlements. At Chandannagar, walk through Dupleix Palace, where French governors plotted the downfall of the British, and see Patalbari, the mansion that hosted Tagore. At Bandel, visit Bengal’s oldest European church (1660), where blossoms grow among the graves of Portuguese traders. At Serampore, see the college where William Carey founded Asia’s first university and printed the first Bengali newspaper in 1818. Everything is private: your group, a cultural guide, an air-conditioned car, and a traditional lunch. One day. Three centuries. Three countries. One river. A journey through a forgotten corridor of history.
