On June 14, 1965, Rabindra Setu was renamed by the great Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, who was the first Indian and Asian Nobel Prize winner. It is still popularly known as the Howrah bridge.
The bridge is one of four on the Hooghly River and is a famous symbol of Kolkata and West Bengal. The other bridges are the Vidyasagar Setu (popularly called the second bridge of Hooghly), the Vivekananda Setu and the new Nivedita Setu. Weathered the storms of the Bay of Bengal region, carrying a daily traffic of around 100,000 vehicles and perhaps more than 150,000 pedestrians, making it easily the most crowded cantilever bridge in the world. The third longest cantilever bridge at the time of its construction, the Howrah Bridge is currently the sixth longest bridge of its kind in the world.
The flower market Near the southeastern end of Howrah Bridge, this flower market is charming and colorful almost 24 hours a day. However, if you visit at dawn, you will see wholesalers arrive with huge flower shipments that are then auctioned off to dealers. Many workers live in makeshift shacks, bathing in the river behind a ghat with the sunset views of Howrah Bridge. Around 7 am, local wrestlers practice their art on a small sand caged area, slightly set back from the river.
Kumortuli (also spelled Kumartuli, or the archaic spelling Coomartolly) is a traditional potters' neighborhood in northern Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta), the capital of the eastern Indian state of West Bengal. The city is famous as a hot spot for sculpting that not only produces clay idols for various parties, but also regularly exports them.
College Street is most famous for small and large bookstores, which give it the nickname Boi Para (Colony of Books). People from all over the city and different parts of the state gather here for their books. Many large parts of the Bengali publishing industry (such as: Ananda Publishers, Dey's Publishing, Rupa & Co., etc.) are located here. The street is dotted with countless tiny book stands that sell new and old books. An article in the Smithsonian magazine described College Street as ... half a mile of bookstores and shelves spilling out onto the sidewalk, bringing first editions, pamphlets, paperbacks in every Indian language, with more than a fair smattering of books inside and outside of press from France, Germany, Russia and England. Rare books can be bought at bargain prices and extensive bargaining takes place.
Indian Coffee House - The history of the Coffee House at College Street can be traced back to Albert Hall, founded in April 1876. Later, the Coffee Board decided to start a joint cafe at Albert Hall in 1942. Considerable citizens were regular visitors to the place. In 1947, the central government changed the name of the place to "Coffee House". The place became a meeting place for poets, artists, writers and people from the world of art and culture. In 1958, the management decided to close the Coffee House, but it was reopened the same year, after the professors of the Presidency College and Calcutta University made a special petition to the government, to save the heritage site. In 2006, a huge financial crisis prevented the cooperative society from renovating the coffee house. Although some companies like Asian Paints have turned to the company with offers to renovate the restaurant, the offers have been rejected due to the clash of rules and conditions.

The motherhouse of the Missionaries of Charity is a sacred place of pilgrimage and reverence for those in search of a more meaningful existence. It was founded by Blessed Mother Teresa in 1950 with the aim of selflessly serving humanity and elevating the afflicted humanity towards the way of salvation. After Mother Teresa left her mortal body in 1997, she was buried in a tomb inside the house where she lived and served. The site of the tomb is very simple yet exudes an enormous amount of benign and pure vibration that fills the heart with gratitude and peace. Located between the noise and the crowd, Madri's tomb is a true reflection of her life that has contemplated the example of deep and conscious meditation.

Gandhi's association with the charkha began in 1917, while he was staying at Mani Bhavan. Mani Bhavan is also closely associated with Gandhi's involvement in the Family Government Movement, as well as his decision to refrain from drinking cow's milk to protest the cruel and inhuman practice of phookans gathered to raise cattle during that time. In 1955, the building was occupied by the Gandhi Smarak Nidhi to keep it as a monument to Gandhi.
Overnight at hotel in Mumbai

DAY 18, Mumbai

After breakfast at 8:30 am
Colaba Market - This market is a maze of roads and lanes, with virtually every inch full of shops and stalls. In some cases, this consisted of a piece of cloth or cardboard on the ground with the goods piled on top. There is also a huge number of street food stalls cooking food on the side of the road and on sidewalks.
This is more a market for the locals but is popular with tourists, it's worth a visit to enjoy the atmosphere and experience the hustle and bustle of these busy streets. It is a real pleasure for the senses, with the sights, sounds, and smells.
Crowford Market - Crawford Market is one of Mumbai's oldest markets. Located very close to the Vittoria station (UNESCO World Heritage Site), this market is located in a single building built in Gothic style. Inside the market, there are shops where they sell a lot of items for everyday use or as a curiosity. Maintaining the market is a concern, with security a particular concern, with some incidents recently. It is hoped that the authorities will wake up and restore this historical site at least in part of its past glory.
Victoria Station (UNESCO World Heritage Site) - The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus Station, in Mumbai, is an exceptional example of Victorian neo-Gothic architecture in India, combined with themes derived from traditional Indian architecture. The building, designed by the British architect F. W. Stevens, became the symbol of Bombay as the "Gothic city" and the main international merchant port of India. The terminal was built over 10 years, starting in 1878, according to a Victorian Gothic design based on Italian models of the late Middle Ages. Its remarkable stone dome, turrets, pointed arches, and eccentric ground floor are close to the traditional architecture of the Indian palace. It is an exceptional example of the encounter between two cultures since British architects have worked with Indian artisans to include the tradition and idioms of Indian architecture, thus creating a new exclusive Bombay style.
Panjrapole The Stable of cows - Bombay Panjrapole was founded in 1834 by businessmen Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy and Amichand Shah, with the help of the philanthropist Parsi Cowasjee Patel. The intention was to look after stray dogs and pigs, which the British had ordered to shoot at night. The cows were introduced to produce milk to feed the strays and were secondary. However, over time, they have multiplied and become the main attraction. And they are absolutely adorable! The little ones, with their gigantic floppy ears, reminded me of dogs rather than calves. They climbed to attract attention and wanted to be fed manually. These days, Bombay Panjrapole takes care of over 350 cows (some of which are disabled) plus other strays like donkeys, goats, rabbits, parrots and ducks.

A distinctive feature of Phang Nga Bay is that the sheer limestone cliffs that jut vertically out of the emerald green water.

Best places to see in Oman

Best places to see in Oman, Effortless natural beauty, fascinating and well-preserved cultures and locals renowned for their generous hospitality – Oman may occupy the tip of the Arabian peninsular, but it’s really the heart and soul of the Middle East.
Much like the UAE, the Sultanate of Oman has developed rapidly thanks to its oil wealth. But Oman is far more humble than its northern neighbour. During your tour in Oman, you will witness one of the most robust heritage protection strategies in the Gulf has helped safeguard Omani and Bedouin cultures against the tides of change.

See the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque

Best places to see in Oman
Best places to see in Oman

It’s tempting to lapse into superlatives when talking about Oman’s main mosque – it’s home to the world’s biggest chandelier and the second-largest hand-loomed Iranian carpet. But what I love most is the understated beauty of the vast marble courtyards, inscribed archways and ablution fountains, where worshippers perform cleansing rituals before entering the prayer halls. Named for Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said, the modern-day leader of Oman, the mosque was completed in 2001 and welcomes non-Muslim visitors between the Sunrise and Dhuhr calls to prayer. Drop into the visitor centre for a glass of Omani coffee and to learn about Ibadism, the country’s dominant school of Islam.

Best places to see in Oman - Muttrah Corniche

Twenty kilometres from downtown Muscat, Muttrah is one of the city’s most atmospheric neighbourhoods. The Corniche, a road and promenade cut into the coastal cliff, links the local fish market with the legendary Muttrah Souq. Known locally as Al Dhalam, ‘Darkness Bazaar’, the covered, windowless souq is believed to be one of the oldest marketplaces in the Arab world. Merchants trade in gemstones, Khanjar daggers and antique carpets, frankincense resin (Oman’s ubiquitous scent), henna powder, and embroidered kuma skullcaps. Don’t forget to look up – there are gorgeous stained-glass panels inlaid in the souq’s wooden roof. I recommend visiting Muttrah in the early evening, when Omani families hit the Corniche for a stroll.

 

Best places to see in Oman - Wadis

Best places to see in Oman
Best places to see in Oman

Is there anything more quintessentially Middle Eastern than stumbling on a desert oasis? Wadis are deep, elongated canyons formed by rock erosion, often filled with quartz-blue water and fringed by palm trees. Some wadis are used to supply water to villages; others serve as all-natural waterparks. On the weekends, Omani families gather at wadis with picnic lunches while groups of teenage boys throw off their white dishdasha robes and go for a dip. Trek to the mouth of peaceful Wadi Shab before swimming between boulders to reach a ‘hidden cave’, replete with waterfall and rope swing. Oman’s best-known wadi, Wadi Bani Khalid, is a spectacular ravine that stretches through the Jebel akhdar mountains. Be sure to visit the nearby Muqil cave. Wadi Tiwi can also be explored on foot, stopping in at the wadi’s nine villages along the way, with a refreshing pool at the end as your reward.

Best places to see in Oman - Sharqiya Sands desert

Best places to see in Oman
Best places to see in Oman

The Sharqiya Sands, previously Wahiba Sands, was named after the Bani Wahiba – one of the nomadic Bedouin tribes that still wander Oman’s vast desert. The Shariqiya marks the eastern edge of the Rub’ al Khali, part of the Arabian Desert that stretches all the way to Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It’s just a short drive from the highway before you reach the ‘Empty Quarter’, with its rippled dunes and shifting peaks. The desert inspires a childlike joy – it’s almost impossible to resist the urge to kick off your shoes and go running and tumbling through the sand! Spend a night or two in one of Oman’s incredible desert camps for the unforgettable experience of waking up in the world’s largest uninterrupted sand desert.

Best places to see in Oman - Bimmah Sinkhole

Best places to see in Oman
Best places to see in Oman

Unlike a wadi that slowly reveals itself, the Bimmah Sinkhole appears out of nowhere. According to local legend, the cavernous hole was formed by a meteorite called Hawaiyat Najm, ‘The Falling Star’. The limestone rock collapsed in on itself, revealing a 20-metre-deep sinkhole with an aquamarine pool at the bottom (good news: it’s deep enough for bomb diving!). Located just off the road between Muscat and Sur, Bimmah Sinkhole is the ultimate pit stop when you’re road-tripping on a warm Omani day.

Ancient fortresses

Oman’s craggy interior is peppered with historic castles and fortresses, each one a maze of turrets, false doors and ominous ‘murder holes’ – slits cut above doorways to pour scalding hot date oil onto unsuspecting intruders. Dating back to the 12th century, Nizwa Fort is the country’s most-visited national monument and historically served as the seat of the presiding Imams. It features a wonderful subterranean museum, and the adjoining souq – famous for its clay pottery – hosts a lively goat market every Friday. The nearby Jabrin Castle is unique for its round towers, luxurious carved doors and lattice work. Ar Rustaq Fort, erected on top of Persian ruins, and the 17th-century Nakha Fort are also worth a visit.

Turtle nesting at Ras Al Jinz

Five of the world’s seven species of sea turtle are known to nest along Oman’s 2,000-kilometre coastline. At the extreme eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, the beaches around Ras Al Jinz and Ras Al Hadd are among the only places on Earth where endangered green sea turtles nest 365 nights a year. The Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve was established in 1996 to protect the turtle habitat. Small, guided group tours out onto the sand depart nightly from the information centre. There’s no guarantee, but you’re likely to witness both hoards of turtle hatchlings racing towards the break, and hulking females depositing their clutches.

Dhow boats in Sur

At its peak in the 19th century, the Omani Empire extended north to Pakistan and as far south as Tanzania and Mozambique. Oman’s colossal maritime power was centralised in Sur, a coastal city 200km from Muscat. (Some say Sur is the spiritual home of swashbuckling Sindbad the Sailor). Workers at Oman’s only surviving shipyard in Sur still turn out dhows. Incredibly, the hulking wooden boats are made by hand without nails by ‘sewing’ teak boards together with coconut-fibre cord. Wander down to the beach to see this feat of engineering for yourself, or climb the stairs of the Al Ayjah Watchtower for a birds-eye view of the dhows and Sur’s white houses.

Market Day in Ibra

There’s a bit of a twist to the main market in Ibra, the second-largest city in Oman’s Ash Sharqiyah region. Wednesday mornings in Ibra have been declared ‘ladies only’. Women from surrounding towns and Bedouin settlements in the nearby Sharqiya Sands – many dressed in their distinct batoola face coverings – pour into town once a week to do a spot of shopping without their male counterparts in tow. Textiles, jewellery and beauty products take pride of place at the souq. There’s also a colourful fresh produce section.

Misfat Al Abyreen

The idyllic village of Misfat Al Abyreen is set in the Jebel Shams mountains, roughly 1,000 metres above sea level. Its mud houses are built atop massive rocks, blending seamlessly into the landscape. As you wander through Misfat’s shaded passageways, you can poke your head into the old, crumbling houses to see their anatomy. Others are still occupied (spot the colourfully painted gates), and one has been converted into a guesthouse. A series of marked hiking trails lead you around the village, through groves of date palms, down to a wadi, and up the mountain for spectacular views.

Travel to Jaipur - Amber Fort

viaggio a Jaipur

Amber Fort (or Amer Fort) is the ultimate attraction not to be missed when you're here in Jaipur. Built mainly with red and white sandstone, the fort is a great example of ancient Indian architecture, as the rulers of that time loved using these materials to build their palaces and fortresses (think of the Taj Mahal, which was built entirely of marble White! ).
Greet the Ganesh Pol Gate as you enter the fort. This door was built exclusively to allow royal families to pass through their private rooms without being disturbed. This beautiful piece is a work of art in itself, with its richly decorated sculptures accented in a variety of colors.
If you are looking for an experience that is both new and unforgettable, opt for an elephant ride to the fort! Please note that these are only available until 11:00 every day, so be sure to plan ahead to avoid disappointment. If you don't like elephants, there is also a reliable all-wheel-drive option up to the fort.

Jaigarh Fort

Jaigarh Fort is one of the favorite places for viewing Amber Palace and the Aravalli hills below.

the Jaivana cannon was the largest cannon in the world on wheels at its point of production in 1720. Although it looked enormous and threatening, the cannon was never actually used in real battles since it was never necessary to do so. He was, however, actually fired once in his life, with a charge of 100 kilograms of gunpowder which fired a 50-kilogram ball up about 35 kilometers away.

Filled with lots of different alleys and secret passages to take, be prepared for some confusion as you will always find yourself in a different part of the fort with every turn you take!
The fun part of visiting the fort here is that you can cross the terraces on the roof of the Nahargarh Fort, where you can admire an aerial view of the surroundings and take a closer look at the domes and roof ridges.

Albert Hall Museum

Although the Albert Hall Museum may appear as another opulent white marble temple from the outside, this monument has a totally different meaning. The first stone of Albert Hall was placed in honor of Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales when he visited Jaipur in 1876.
The building was later transformed into a museum of industrial arts that displayed products by local artisans, in an attempt to keep the current local artisans inspired by the best examples of works of art and craftsmanship. By building a museum that displayed crafts, he also helped guide the importance of preserving traditions and craftsmen.
Today it is recognized as a place where traditional Indian architecture and craftsmanship are appreciated and honored. It's definitely worth a visit if you want to take a closer look at Indian art and culture!

Visitors and pilgrims bathe when they are here, as the waters are considered to be auspicious. Apart from the blessed pools, another famous attraction here is the Hanuman temple, which is dedicated to the Hindu monkey god (could this explain the mysterious presence of monkeys crowding the area?)
Galtaji is a fascinating place where visitors can take their time to admire the ancient architecture and waterfalls - but be sure to stay away from the monkeys there because they like to spoil and cause trouble! Address: Galta Ji, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302031, India, Opening hours: 5: 00-21: 00, every day, Admission: FREE

Samode village

Did you know that Jaipur has a unique initiative that converts buildings into hotels - so they are well maintained and properly restored over the years? These "palace hotels" will continue to be appreciated by many as they are converted into lodgings! The Samode Palace is one such example of a historic hotel.
Once you enter the fascinating palace, your guide will take you on a private tour to admire the beautifully decorated rooms and interiors. With walls and ceilings that are all splashed from top to bottom and hand-painted with various details, motifs and paintings, a walk through the rooms
will leave you simply speechless! You will also pass through a mirror room where the surfaces are plastered with real semi-precious and precious stones that shine and shine in the sunlight. It is such an enchanting spectacle that the photos will not do justice.
