Now known as Mother Teresa Sarani, Park Street has long been the mainstay of Kolkata's entertainment and leisure scene. During this experience, we will walk down the most exciting and happening street of Calcutta, and realise that it is not just about recreation. Park Street houses some of the most important landmarks of Kolkata’s heritage. It was once known as Burial Ground Road and had no less than five graveyards surrounding it! From a street owned by the dead to a street full of life, Park Street has definitely come full circle. We would, as part of this tour, experience the colours, sights and sounds of an era gone by. From Freemanson's Hall to South Park Street Cemetery, we will explore the mighty history of what Park Street has always stood for and what it signifies now.
