Kolkata (Calcutta) excursions
Sagar Island
The point at which the Ganges meets the Bay of Bengal is the site of mass pilgrimage in January for the Gangasagar Mela. To get to Sagar Island, head to Diamond Harbour, 51km (31.7 miles) south of Kolkata and take a bus to Hardwood Point, just before Kakdwip (one hour) from where you get a ferry to the island.
Sunderbans Wildlife Sanctuary
The World Heritage-listed Sunderbans Wildlife Sanctuary (south of Kolkata) has one of the healthiest populations of tigers left in the world and straddles the Indian/Bangladeshi border. Getting there and around independently is not simple, so it's best to join an organised tour. For more information contact the tourist information office.
