Kolkata for returning visitors

Once you’ve covered all the essential sightseeing spots, there are plenty of places to visit in Kolkata that you probably neglected the first time around. Most of these spots elude the tourist trail, but are every bit worth the visit—from watching a Satyajit Ray film at the city’s film and cultural centre, to picnicking by a lake on the outskirts of the city, enjoying an evening aarti along the banks of the Hooghly at Belur Math, and partying late into the night—so make sure you fit them into your itinerary on this trip. Of course, every holiday warrants some relaxation and indulgence, so in between all the action, set aside a few hours for a therapeutic treatment at one of the city’s best spas, and binge on some delicious local food.
