Started 2020 by visiting the charming city of Kolkata. This was my first time visiting Kolkata, and I had such an incredible time exploring the City of Joy solo. I spent three days sightseeing in Kolkata and vlogged the whole experience for you. Since it was my first time here and I came quite unprepared, I wasn’t sure what all to see, but I managed to cover as much as I could in three days. I visited Princep Ghat, Park Street, Victoria Memorial, Kumortuli, took a metro ride, took a ride in the iconic yellow taxi of Kolkata, saw the tram, and went on an incredible walking tour through the culturally diverse neighbourhoods of Kolkata. I also tried some amazing food, the famous Bengali sweets (mishti doi and sandesh), a few cafes and restaurants around Park street and my favourite: puchkas! Also, in case you didn’t know, Kolkata (or Calcutta) was the capital of India during the British rule, and in Kolkata really felt like I had been transported back in time! I loved the vibe of the city.

Kritika Goel brave u r don’t u get scared to travel alone in India that also at nights ???

But make a vlog of Sikim again with Shimnima.....please ❤
Born in Calcutta in 1970, lived in Calcutta till1990, now living in Bangalore for the last 19 years, I still carry Calcutta in my heart ..Loved my life in Calcutta....and also I was a teenager in Calcutta in the mesmerising 80s...
Bravest, boldest sister from South India.
Being a girl, you have the strongest courage to roam every where. So, I'M proud of you girl.
Actually Kolkata is very safe
Tum bhi ghumo Bhai.. kisne roka h😅🤣
@@sanjoykumarmitra7438 most safe place for girls...in india
@@sanjoykumarmitra7438 not at all,
Come to Kolkata again! And only you can say that a place is overpriced while sitting right there lol
Obviously i agree with you... some place she not visited ...

Hi from London, UK! My wife and I love your videos. She was brought up in Kolkata and we have family members still living there. It is my absolute favourite city. You visited some of our favourite places like Flurys, Bar B Q and that amazing Bengali sweet shop. Great review of the City of Joy! 👌👍
Is your wife Bengali?
@@shreyamukherjee2886 Yes she is. She grew up in Kolkata.
@@RexWaldron wow. ❤️
@Chow Rajaa HI!! More uploads coming soon and will be sure to include some songs. That's so kind of you! :)
You English don't like us Indians ,so don't cmnt lies
Aaawww... I miss Kolkata so much! I’m Filipino but my partner is Bengali so we visit Kolkata quite often. North Calcutta is my favorite part of the city. It’s so old and beautiful. And the food! We did a food walk with Calcutta Walks and it was amazing! But then majority of it was non-veg food so you might not have enjoyed it. I’m still trying to improve my puchka game. My Indian friends are masters of devouring puchka after puchka and sadly, I can’t keep up yet. Need more practice. Love this video and now, I’m itching to go back to the City of Joy.
You are right,I miss Kolkata
In the world where, vlogs have become all
About Drone shots & cinematics... you really make me feel as If I am travelling with by you ❤️❤️❤️ 🙂
kolkata is every Bangali's emotion!!
I think this has to be your best video till date! Absolutely loved it. Never been to Kolkata but after watching this, it's definitely on my bucket list! Also, kind of unrelated but I love how naturally you integrate sponsorships and it's not in your face like some other TH-camrs I've seen. Kudos to you ❤️❤️
I'm from the Philippines and will visit Jaipur soon. Watching this video makes me more excited to see India again. ❤❤
Come to Kolkata also
@@mousumisaha6332 Hopefully soon! But my visa is already about to expire 😅
@@kimshane07 Ooooo
This is Kolkata. City Of Joy.
I did my College Study in Kolkata. It's such a beautiful City. I absolutely love it.
I feel so nostalgic. I used to eat Gathiya with Raw Papaya Salad every Sunday after my Coaching. ❤️
Ahh it’s a beautiful city indeed! I’m so surprised I’d never heard of gathiya. It was so delicious!
@@KritikaGoel Bhawanipur is the Hub of Gujaratis in Kolkata. You can find all kind if Gujarati Snacks over there.
@@ssah7594 Bhai kolkata mein marwadi kidhr hai sbse jyada? Us jagah PG lena hai. Bangaliyon ne dimag kharab kr rkha hai
@@wizard1076 near Barabazar but what really happened
@@preach6787 kuch nahi bhai bangaliyon ko dekh kar alag level wali chidhan aati hai. Bc yaha sab chutiye bhare pade hai, yaha gaali bako to aise react karte hai jaise inki kidney maang li ho. Doosri cheej ye ladkiyon ke saath group mein rehte hai to khul ke baat karna thoda awkward ho jaata hai. If you live in kolkata then i think you know how these bangali girls try to act like pseudo intellectuals, aur hum to janam se single hai to kam se kam apne area ke launde mil jaye to thoda accha lagta hai
My god , how fluency she speaks English, just motivates me a lot. ☺️😃
So beautifully done. Didn't feel like 23 mins at all. 😃. It's indeed a beautiful city with a mixture of old traditions and modernization 😊
Don't compare Mumbai and kolkata..kolkata is kolkata.. Foreigner enjoy this city so much..
Yes you right 🙂
Nope. This Kolkata is not as progressive as the post-independence Kolkata of the fifties, sixties and seventies. Mumbai is presently the most advanced city in modern India.
I am from kolkata but honestly speaking this city somewhere stuck in somewhere.. except that durgapuja time nothing s exciting now..I am living in Mumbai for last 2 years..trust me I love the city Mumbai..There s something very refreshing and ambitious about the city when you step in first time in Mumbai you will get some positive energy Nd feel like doing everything,running very fast.
@@koolkata_guy3732 You forgot to add Christmas time especially in park Street
I really enjoyed this vlog. It literally gave me immense happiness and satisfaction!!
Kritika Goel is synonymous with Class , Garce , Style and Charm . Your talk are so much spotaneously and articulately .Love you Kritika 🌷
No doubt Kolkata is such a amazing Indian city thanks kritika for this lovely video 👍😍❤️
Kolkata an emotion 🥰🥰🥰

@@MoneyWayschannel come...

@@MoneyWayschannel I am also from Orissa I love Kolkata and Bengali culture
You're such an INSPIRATION Kritika Di❤...Loads of love from the city of joy- KOLKATA
Wow, that was one hell of an unplanned solo trip. Like always, your videos are amazing and make me feel good about life. Keep doing such great work Kiki😊
Such a beautiful vlog!!! Brings back memories from my last visit to Kolkata. I was there for a wedding too and then decided to extend my stay to explore and vlog Kolkata.
Ua a pretty girl , so that uber driver took u around. if u wer a male he would have driven straight to the destination :-)
Yup that's quite common unfortunately!!
Hahaha !!!!
Thats how ur India works...
We r travel daily with uber bikes etc and u got lucky coz u r pretty else they don't even take us 1 Mtr ahead from drop location
On serious note Grt vlog n good choice of music
Haha
I CANNOT ever have enough of puchka 😍 Also feels like I really need to go to Princep ghat next time I go. Haha couldn't agree more with you on the laid-back culture. Afternoon naps are a must 🤪 Was waiting for this vlog 😍
fuchka (foo-cchhh-kaaa)
U missed out on Eco Park - 15 mins from the airport and the hanging restaurant there. Hopefully next time.
Fantastic vlog. I didn't know that Kolkata has such a diverse culture. You have covered those areas which are never shown in any movie or by any traveller. I enjoyed this vlog a lot. Kolkata is a beautiful city. Also, feeling so good to see you enjoying Gujarati snack. You should definitely visit Gujarat. You will love it. ♥️♥️
Tremondous solo trip! Girl, you always do amazing work,nothing more to say! Stay blessed. 😙
Is it damn true?🤓 ! Finally I got it ❤ after a year.😜 thank you so much Miss Perfectionist, stay blessed.😲❤
I'm Bengali bought up in Mumbai and after 30 years I came back here with my maharashtrian husband for job reasons he got transferred. So people in kolkata is very polite and sweet very laid back attitude and not much worried or super ambitious like mumbaikers, and Mumbai is super fast like Mumbai local, people are very straight forward and bit rude, but super professional, city wise Mumbai is India's newyork, always awake vibrant, glittery, posh, and Kolkata is nostalgic.
Yess we stand together,
Kolkata is love❤️❤️
I am from Kolkata, accidentally discovered your channel. I travel a lot all over the world but after your beautiful blog planned visit some of the places you mentioned. Salute for your solo travel. Keep doing wonderful videos.
Yes! We do get newspapers delivered at home that way every morning in Kolkata! 😂
Got to know more than I saw while living here in 5yrs!!😅✌️
Thank You so Much 😊
Keep Growing ✌️
Kolkata is such a lovely place. I was there during Durga Puja.
It must be surreal during durga pooja!!!
I am from Kolkata where I moved in December 1959 and in love with the City ! You must have experienced that this city the only place in World where, on one side, you have man pulled rickshaws, last city with tram cars and on the other side you have India,s first underground metro. The most impressive fact about this metro are its warm people which no other metro has !
Wowwwthat's my hometown but I haven't visited there from six years now. Oooo Kritika u made me miss the city soo badly. Great video though feeling nostalgic. 💫❤⚡Keep up the great work coming. I truly love your content. I literally found the best option for my dinner table. Sat 🔙 with my plate enjoyed the beautiful video along with yumm home cooked food. Thanks for the experience. It doesn't happens that often.❤❤❤
You've made such a nice vlog of Kolkata 😍 Absolutely loved it! ❤️
Keep up the good work mam! 👍
You almost touched the heartbeat of this erstwhile great city...good job in covering Calcutta!
I really enjoyed this video
Definitely I'll come to Kolkata
Respect from Bangladesh
You have beautifully portried the life of Calcutta. Got an opportunity to understand the culture and history associated with the place.
How is it a long vlog? It just got over in a wink!
Superb editing!
I am sure everyone who is from Kolkata but is currently residing somewhere else always wants to take a peek into the city in any manner and form and thank you for making that happen for us Kritika!
Since you have covered mostly the northern and a bit of central part of the city so well, I really hope you to go back and visit southern and eastern parts of the city as well.
They have a completely different vibe all together!
Lots of love and good wishes to you!
Loved your vlog,, dont know when i just finish watching,,, felt like 2 mins..
Best wishes .. :)
This vlog is just too good..loved it..its my home town..but today i saw this city in different way..thank you so much..i am a big fan of ur vlog..please inform me before ur next visit..♥️
Awesome ma'am... Your story telling is just dope.❤️
Hi kritika, greetings. I watch your videos often and enjoy a lot. Just like any other videos, this one too is very nice. So your both Kolkata videos appears as if shot by a professional crew which may include a cameraman, mixing editing team. It's unbelievable that you managed all these alone. Trust me, this definitely reminds of a professional episode of any travel show.
Keep up the great work.
Hello kritika !! You are one amongst the many peoples I admire personally. You are turning inspirational person to me day-by-day . You are a mentor to me in many things. I keep learning from you which I'm proud of . I inculcated the habit of reading books from you . The musics in the video is great. Keep up the great work 😊 .. with loads of love from your follower !!
That photo walk is an experience. Completely changed my perspective on Kolkata.
Same here!
Got some energy to travel after watching your video. Busy life had lead to watch less videos. Today gonna watch many of yours .. pending since long time... you are a wonderful person. Love u!
Kritika u are one of the most gentle blogger on you tube lovely keep going good girl
You just made me miss Home terribly! ♥️
Kolkata is the cultural capital of India and is a city with both traditional and modern features...
And the food😋😋😋
People here are very sober....
It is also very economic in terms of prices.
Loved the video, I also travelled kolkata as a solo traveller. A wonderful city.
It was in kolkata I started watching Friends series. Whenever I used to come in my room during night, I used to feel a bit lonely and that's where I started watching that so much amazing Series.
Very nice job ! You captured my city with all its beauty, diversity and contradictions !!
U explored my city very differently like u always do..... And u described everything soo nicely.. Thanks for coming kritika..❤❤❤ come again once to just explore the foods of Kolkata....😊 u will love it too...😚😘

That's true you are the most amazing person.
Nice video, the full worth of editing (a lot of time)
Missing Kolkata a lot
"The city of Joy"

Lovely video, Kritika! Absolutely love the cinematic shots 😍 Thanks for including an awkward bean like me in the video hehe ♥️
Your exploring skills are really effective and productive...
James Prinsep FRS was an English scholar, orientalist and antiquary. He was the founding editor of the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal and is best remembered for deciphering the Kharosthi and Brahmi scripts of ancient India.
Next time when you come to Kolkata make sure to visit the Patuli Lake side cause it's a very peaceful place to chill and Visit the college Street cause in that place you can find each an every book you want like if you want 1st hand books you can get,if you want 2nd hand books you can get and the best thing is that if you cannot find a book in college Street the book which you've wanted then you cannot get it from anywhere in Kolkata, and also make sure to visit the most astonishing Coffee House.
Btw when you come to Kolkata make sure to do a meet-up I will definitely come❤️🔥

The city Kolkata literally shows it glory and gorgeousness at the night time. Proud to be a Bengali ❤️😉
Kritika you are one awesome vlogger. Your reviews about things are very honest and descriptive. Keep up the good work girl.
Even I went to Kolkata the previous year but I could not explore much because of rains, your video shows Kolkata so beautifully!
Your new year beginning is awesome.... loving your frequent videos :)
Nice video. Took me for a small walk to my old memory lanes of Kolkata during my college days.
Lovely video.
Loved that the way you pronounced the name of the places. It shows you travel with a soul. I also liked your appreciation towards your subscribers. No wonder you are rocking the travel vlog segment.
Best of luck from a fan and newest travel vlogger.
