The city of Kolkata is located in the east of the Indian subcontinent, on the banks of the Hoogli River, and is the capital of West Bengal. For tourists there are many options for leisure, the busiest and most popular place in the city is the embankment, the length of which is about 4 kilometers. This part of the city pleases guests and residents with its magnificent green parks, equipped with cozy benches and fountains.

During the generally accepted Durga Puja holiday, the street is decorated with bright ribbons and lanterns. At night, musicians, local youth and tourists often gather here, wishing to enjoy the waters of the Hugley River in the moonlight. Not far from the embankment is a beautiful bridge, the Queen Victoria Memorial and St. Paul's Cathedral. Having visited these places, you will get unforgettable impressions that will remain for a lifetime.
