Calcutta - Walking Tour

On my last day in Calcutta, we did a walking tour with Calcutta Walks. We took the Confluence of Cultures tour which I highly recommend. You can check them out at http://www.calcuttawalks.com.

The walk took us to several different religious buildings: buddhist, parsi zoroastrian, jain, jewish, and armenian christian. We also walked through the old China town.
