Take a break from walking Kolkata’s busy streets on this fun tram tour. Kolkata has India’s only tram network, and you’ll learn all about its history on this two-to-three-hour tour. Pass by a number of landmarks and get down to further explore St. Teresa's House, the final resting place of St. Teresa. A fun tour for travelers with various interests.
With a capacity of 24 or 53, the AC or Non-AC tram runs multiple rides daily to the north and south of the city. Each ticket costs includes snacks. A lot is often heard about Kolkata's dwindling traffic system and how its age-old trams, means of transport that are still existing only in this part of India, are adding to the commuters' woes. There have even been talks of doing away with old tram cars for good and redesigning the city's traffic network. However, trams are still plying in Kolkata and measures are being taken to resuscitate the 151-year-old Calcutta Tramways Company. Take a ride on the Kolkata Heritage Tram Tour in one of these AC or Non AC trams this week and get a taste of old Kolkata's magical heritage.
