FunOnStreets, Kolkata
I have explored many parts of Kolkata (and other heritage-rich spots like Burdwan and the stunning terracotta temples of Sribati) with Navpreet Arora, who runs FunOnStreets.com, a Kolkata based walking tours company. Navpreet is a Kolkata insider, who started her guided walks company in 2016 showcasing the city’s myriad colours as the “Land of Babus, the Birthplace of Reformers, the Brewery of Nationalism”, and she has grown to be one of the major voices in Kolkata’s heritage landscape.
Break Free Trails, Kolkata

Shaikh Sohail runs Break free trails, an historical tours agency that organizes heritage walks in various neighbourhoods of Kolkata. I spent many hours with Sohail in Metiabruz, the richly flavoured “mini Lucknow” of Kolkata, and without his super-knowledge of the area’s heritage and customs, my deep-dive for the locality would have remained superficial!
