If you're in Kolkata chances are you will be a little overwhelmed by the colors, sounds and pace of the city. But just a short bike ride will take you to the wetlands of Kolkata - a peaceful natural area. Shirish is the excellent wayfinder, storyteller and guide on this magic trip. We saw groups of fishermen out on and in the water, village life in the hamlets, stopped for tea at a little shop. And all the while had a great conversation about the ecology of city and water bodies, the life of the community around the wetlands and much more. Equipment worked perfectly, I felt safe throughout, and will gladly go again if I come back to Kolkata. Thank you Shirish 🙏 Highly recommended!
