Cycle & Walk - The East Kolkata Wetlands

Akash Gupta 16 months ago

Great hospitality by Mr. Shirish. I met him two years ago in Sandakphu trek and from then onwards always wanted to experience the beautiful Kolkata wetlands on cycle he talked about. Finally managed to do this today and it was just wonderful to do this through the scenic trail routes. Will come back for more for sure.

We barely knew anything about the Wetlands before our walking tour with Mr. Poddar. Despite being a local, I always assumed that this area wasn't really for nature lovers. It was for fishermen and farmers. Happily we found his website and decided to book an early morning guided walk this winter. Mr. Poddar is very knowledgeable about the area and has extensive experience conducting these tours. He explained the ecosystem of the wetlands in a way we could understand, and cheerfully answered all our questions. He thoughtfully carried tea and home-made biscuits for us (which were delicious!) and ensured that the entire 2 hour walk was lovely and memorable. He also conducts cycling tours of the area, and that's something I want to do soon.

A great place if you want to get pure oxygen and a pin drop scilence environment . No of persons which can visit at a time is 2-3. Transportation- bicycle.
Its is just 3 to 4 kms from the main city and i give you my word you will not feel like this is a part of kolkata. You also get language option of English and hindi.Overall it was an excellent experience ???????? ....
