Descripción del tour
Kolkata tiene el único barrio chino de la India, fundado en el siglo XVIII por inmigrantes hakka y cantoneses, y lo que queda de él es un mercado callejero que se instala entre las seis y las ocho de la mañana aproximadamente y luego desaparece por completo. En un callejón, varias mujeres colocan mesas plegables para vender momos de cerdo, sopa de albóndigas de pescado, bollos al vapor y salchichas preparadas según recetas chinas que han perdurado en Kolkata durante doscientos años. A las ocho y media, no queda más que un callejón vacío.
Ahí es donde comienza este recorrido, por lo que empieza a las seis.
Después caminamos hacia College Street, el barrio universitario y de librerías, para disfrutar del radhaballavi —un pan frito relleno de lentejas molidas, servido con curry de patatas especiado— y mishti doi, un yogur dulce cuajado en vasija de barro que en Bengala preparan mejor que en ningún otro lugar. A continuación nos dirigimos al Indian Coffee House, un salón de techos altos que ha sido punto de encuentro de estudiantes, poetas y comunistas desde 1942, para degustar café de infusión y chuletas de cordero.
Finalizamos con un daab sharbat, un sorbete de coco verde de un local que lo elabora desde 1918.
Grupo reducido, máximo 8 personas.

Otras notas
Runs daily at 06:00. This is not a soft start time and we will not move it: the Tiretti Chinese breakfast market is finished by about eight thirty, and it is the reason this tour exists. Sunday is the biggest morning.
Note that the Indian Coffee House and some College Street shops are closed on Sundays, so on a Sunday we substitute and tell you in advance.
Durga Puja, which falls in October, closes most family-run sweet shops and many eateries for around ten days and makes the city centre impassable on foot in the evenings. We do not run during the main puja days and will tell you if your dates are affected.
Hygiene: Kolkata's municipal authority suspended the food licences of a number of well-known eateries in September 2026 after hygiene inspections. We do not use any premises under suspension, we re-check licence status before every departure, and we hold substitutes for every stop. On the tour itself: sealed bottled water only, no ice, no raw chutneys, no pre-cut fruit.
Dietary needs: tell us at least 48 hours ahead. The College Street half is easily vegetarian; the Tiretti half is pork-centred and we can substitute vegetable momo and soup with notice.
About 2 km of walking on flat but crowded streets.
