Company information

Ifte the Intrepid is the one to be blamed for having started it all. His passion for trespassing is second only to his love for this city. Life is an adventure for this true romantic, for whom the predictable is abhorrent. His antennae tune in to all that’s ‘forbidden’. Fun, spirited, and brimming with questions – that’s our Ifte for you. Join him in an exploration of any part, theme, or perspective of the city, though he’s all for unearthing and understanding the various sub-cultures that shy away from the mainstream. Born and brought up (and hopelessly in love with) Calcutta, Iftekhar Ahsan hails from Rajasthani stock. A regular contributor to The Telegraph and other publications he has managed to build a reputation for himself as an explorer of the city and one of the best people to walk around town with. And when he’s not wandering the streets of the city then you can find him tracing his love to the Silk Road and the various countries that it passed through. If you ever need to plan a trip to any Silk Road country, including Iran, Uzbekistan, China, India, Turkey and the like just drop a hint and watch him animate in excitement.

Property information

We have been taking people on walks in Calcutta for over a decade now and it's been disappointing to see some beautifully designed buildings meeting the hammer every other day. So we decided to take matters in our own hands and restore one of the beauties. Happy to present to you the Calcutta Bungalow. Salient features of the property include: A restored 1920s townhouse representative of a golden era in Calcutta's architecture. Six well-appointed bedrooms with all modern amenities. Great neighbourhood for you to explore and a wonderful community to interact with. In the heart of the Bengali part of the city that the British referred to as the Black Town. Tastefully and lovingly decorated by celebrated local designer Swarup Dutta. Representative of the old world charm and a leisurely pace of life. A quick half an hour drive from the airport. Run and managed on the best sustainable and responsible tourism practices. From the house of Calcutta Walks who know and love the city like no other. A hearty breakfast with fresh healthy ingredients and sizeable portions to kick-start your day.
