After our last Epic Road Trip #Kolkata2Kanyakumari in December 2015 / January 2016 we've been travelling here and there. But the call of the Highways and the incredible places in India has kept us yearning for our next Adventure by Road through this amazing country. So after some serious planning and mapping and bookings (which seemed to be the toughest, considering it's the peak Tourist Season for India), we've set our sights on the Epic Journey. We've mapped out the Distances as below but all that changes once you actually are on the road and you improvise your journey, if you see the opportunity to pack in more places on the way. #Kolkata2Kutch and back Kolkata - Allahabad : 812 Kms Allahabad - Lucknow : 200 Kms Lucknow - Orchha Fort : 233 Kms Orchha Fort - Jhansi : 18 Kms Jhansi - Gwalior : 103 Kms Gwalior Sightseeing : 50 Kms Gwalior - Ahmedabad : 887 Kms Ahmedabad - Little Rann : 108 Kms Little Rann (Sight Seeing) : 88 Kms Little Rann (Sight...

St. John's Church After visiting the Tram Museum, we decided to check out this beautiful Church which we have seen so many times driving by.

Located at the North – Western corner of Raj Bhavan construction of the St. John's Church started in 1784, with Rs 30,000 raised through a public lottery, and was completed in 1787. St. John's Church is the third oldest church in Calcutta (Kolkata) only next to the Armenian and the Old Mission Church. St. John's Church served as the Anglican Cathedral of Calcutta (Kolkata) till 1847 when it was transferred to St. Paul's Cathedral.

History and Architecture The land for the St. John's Church was donated by the Maharaja Nabo Kishen Bahadur the founde...

It was a beautiful Sunny Sunday Morning and we were supposed to go to China Town for breakfast, but having woke up late, we missed a visit there. But not wanting to waste such a perfect day, we decided to make a visit to the heart of the City of Joy to see "The Tram Museum" I had heard about. Smaranika (the name of the Tram) in Bengali means memorabilia and it's this very tram that houses the Museum of The Calcutta Tramways Corporation, or CTC and showcases 140 odd years of it's heritage in the form of Models, pictures and various parts and items used by and in the trams over the years. As most of you know Kolkata remains the only city in India with an operational tram service and it's vast network is disappearing at an alarming rate. The first tram service in the city was on the 24th of February of 1873, with a horse drawn tram running between Sealdah and Armenian Ghat Street. The Smaranika tramcar, officially designated CTC-142, was built in 1938, an...
