The laid-back city has a different charm to it, you will find people calm and composed just sitting on a bench in their favorite chai ki tapri and chit-chatting with their friends, which they call adda. So what should you do if you wake up early in this laid-back atmosphere? Just head out and enjoy the calm surroundings. Here are the top things you can do early in the morning in Kolkata.
There are plenty of spots that you can visit to have a refreshing morning walk in Kolkata, but my personal favorite is Rabindra Sarobar Lake in south Kolkata. It is a hot spot for all the morning walkers for a walk along the bank of the lake. The freshness in the air coming from the lush greenery will have a calming effect on your soul and you can start your day with a fresh mind.
To start your day with a fresh mind the next best thing that you can do is have a hot cup of tea. Nearby Sarobar Lake, there is a small joint called Maharaja that sells tea along with kachori, samosa, and jalebi. It is the must-visit spot for every morning walker as they sip on the hot Kesari tea and solve all the problems of the government, cricket, and football.
Now that you had your morning walk and morning tea, let’s visit the most popular Kalighat in the town. It opens its doors for the devotees at 5 AM and you can see the morning aarti up close since at that time the crowd is minimal.
Now that you have had your morning walk, and morning tea and taken blessings, now head out to eat. There are a lot of places that you can go to grab your breakfast but I would suggest you my personal favorite, Shree Hari Mishtanna Bhandar.
Just a few stops from Kalighat, this sweet shop serves the best kachori in the town. You will get the option of having the kachori with cholar dal or aloo ki sabzi and I promise you the sweet taste of the kachori is nothing like you had before.
Oh ho! It’s 9 already and it’s time to go to work.
Which places do you want to visit early in the morning? I would suggest trying all the things in one day and you will love it.
