- Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) is the capital of India's West Bengal state. Founded as an East India Company trading post, it was India's capital under the British Raj from 1773-1911. Today it’s known for its grand colonial architecture, art galleries and cultural festivals. It’s also home to Mother House, headquarters of the Missionaries of Charity, founded by Mother Teresa, whose tomb is on site.

I'm so glad I made the trip to India in 2018 and spent a week in Kolkata -- what a beautiful city, beautiful people...
Please visit Kolkata again ♥️
What a city Kolkata is! I was lucky to visit in 2016 and the culture , food, people and architecture all remain fond in my memory. Thank you for this excellent footage, you do great work! Greetings from Australia.
Please visit Kolkata again ♥️
Thanks for recording and sharing this video. Kolkata is my favorite city in the world, watching these images is like being there again.
This part of Kolkata is like old Dhaka of Bangladesh. But what I like most about Kolkata and India overall is that places seem less cramped than Dhaka and the embedded history and traditions throughout.
Also, the two cities are culturally different.
Please next time visit Dhakuria /Rabindra Sarobar lake area, a huge artificial lake in South Calcutta - there is rowing activity, cricket training, football clubs in the area besides some old and some well restored Art-Deco style mansions built from 1920-70's for the educated middle class Bengali professionals, a residential area littered with several cafes now. Also you should visit the huge historic 200 yr old open air grocery market in Bhowanipore known as Jadu Bazar, these areas are anything but boring, hustle bustle, Sikh traders, tyre dealers, vegetable vendors. You will love it.
Kolkata's vibe and culture is so amazing and specially the culture and food... a great city tour my friend..
Loved joining you in Kolkata 👏👍
I live in Kolkata. What he showed is north Kolkata. South Kolkata and bypass areas are more modern and beautiful.
modern yes, bt beauty is subjective...One can find the dilapidated old houses and streets more charming rather than cookie cutter drab imposing concrete structures
Magnifique reportage sur l'Inde que j'adore et que je connais grâce à mes voyages c'est tellement vivant colorés tout me plaît dans ce pays beaucoup de plaisir à regarder cette vidéo merci pour ce bon moment 💝💝💝💝
please show us where you are walking with little map in the screen.it will be very referenceble.
Roads are neat & clean. Need more trees on either side of the road
Your old video of Kolkata which I watched in 2014 or 15 was a trand set video when vloggers were not available, i learnt much and enjoyed that and your style too.. you are great
Great video. I am from Kolkata. I missed the chance of meeting a legend like you over a drink/coffee.
"legend " Lol, what makes this guy a legend?
What makes this guy a legend? He showed how rundown your city is.
Exotic city,very cool,love from brazil❤🇧🇷🇧🇷
Hi Keezi, another great video of one of India's big cities with all its pluses and minuses like many cities in the world and good to show...keep it up! gr.
I am Caucasian, and will be moving to India (Varanasi) soon. I need to mentally prepare for the tours and hustlers who will swarm me, and the same time understanding the culture is much different in that it’s not abnormal to have a friendly chat with someone on the street and then keep moving.
Where I live now, people just don’t do that. Everyone looks straight-ahead and rarely engages each other. One aspect of India I am looking forward to is to engage people, talk to strangers, learn their stories, etc. But again, it seems half of them just want you to open your wallet, so will need to learn phrases such as “I live here and don’t need any help” etc. (simply to keep my sanity).
I advise try engaging with senior citizens and women. Also teenagers, they will keep you digitally updated and make your life much easier, also they are super swift in every activity like arranging emergency vehicles or essentials. Have a great time in India.
How was Varanasi?
Americans r very talkative with strangers in my experience
Dont know about Europe or Australia
Perfect upload without any doubt.....Such a charming video.
Thank you for being there for us!!!!
Keezi, thank you for coming back to Calcutta and loving it so much.
Great walk you showed both side of India .
The rich & clean side and also poor & terrible side .
I also watched Mumbai Vedio you also show good area but also poor part of city
This is how India is unequal some areas are looks modern clean & rich but at same time There are also poor and dirt .
Good work 👍.
Never been assaulted on any of your walks. How amazing!
Which part is rich? It looks poor throughout the whole video.
@@bldomain no , the first part was pretty good and the rest of it was poor part of kollkata.
He didn't even walk through the real modern part of kollkata go search about new town lol , it's looks modern , clean , well maintained and it's larger than this area .
And I visited this city .
Here's a link of new town czcams.com/video/dR2Bi5NH20Q/video.html
Brilliant watch as always. Such a fascinating place, Keezi walks must keep walking and filming!
Oxy New town Kolkata has a population of 36,541.
The very first video i saw of you was Kolkata several years ago. And now you´re back. Thank you for this time visit to that place i would like to see by myself.
Another cool video man so cool buddy.
Walked the same route in 2007, hasn’t changed much but it is cleaner.
...nice walk! Thanks a lot!
Thank you, Keezi. The videos of your walks are worthy of a Noble Prize. No one has captured the scenes of chaos and resulting suffering of humanity as you have. Yet it is nice to see you are frequently greeted and there are many happy faces in otherwise depressing streets.
Excellent video.keep it up.
perfect thanks
Amizing very nice video excellent thanks vaalzha valamudan
Nice!
Amazing tour nice experience 🔥
Nice video
Bro India needs more 23 years then you come again because 23 year later India complete 100 year of freedom and India will be developed ❤❤
Start and finist ,good
middle ,no

great work
Very nice place
City of Joy
Up to this day I'm still wondering...
How did, seven years ago, Keez escaped from Kolkata's flower market crowd?
czcams.com/video/VxetycIW22A/video.html
By helicopter!?!?
Me too, I am still wondering. How did he get out? I am from Kolkata and I know how that feels.
Wow namasté Beauty full 🙏🙏🙏🤗❤️❤️🇨🇴
nice
Kolkata India, beautiful City
Not much. The center is passable but the surrounding area is a dunghill. Extreme poverty. Lots of flea dogs on the loose and garbage.
@@Lonegan63 Yeah Howra n North Calcutta have lot of dirt n poverty. It's much better in Newtown area.
India Varanasi is the most magical. ancient indian land
What was that guy talking about in the beginning?
Here in india we see political party flag instead of the national flag every inch😑
True for any South and South East Asian countries
Is this clip from the year 2022 /2021.?
Because I have seen a video of this city before in your channel .
This 2022 the other 7 years ago
@@keeziwalks ohh I see..
Thanks
Name of the places, please ? Beaitiful and neat & clean organised city.👍
Wow, Kolkata.. Then Varanasi, Agra, Delhi, Amritsar ☺️☺️ A request
Not possible visa is only 30 days
@@keeziwalks Wish you could have stayed more. Which more cities are in your visit list? Would love to see Amritsar and Delhi at least please cover them if possible
@@singhjasbeer5216 i am now in chenal. After that hyderabad. Bangalore and fly out from mumbai. We use to get 3 months. No idea why the government lowered it to 30 days
@@keeziwalks Oh that means you will be covering only bigger cities this time? 😞😞😞 You may apply for extension as the situation of Covid is easing. Probably when they allotted visa to you the Omicron variant was spreading very fast internationally now it’s in India already and it is decreasing.
@@singhjasbeer5216 no extentions anymore. And only 3 timesva year a 30 day visa. Its new policy not even covid related. I guess.the government aims for the richer tourist.
Better camera 😁
bhahalpur bihar ka bhi video banaye
where tf is bhagalpur and why should anyone care
很漂亮 良好的道路设施及卫生环境 很棒
Did you been there ever?
Did receive a tip from a friend that if I could bump into you on the roads 27th Jan, But alas, till next time.
sir bhagalpur bhi aaye
Bro come and walk in noida city
14:54 what is this street? who can give the coordinates?))
That is Park St - Mirza Ghalib St corner, next to Goethe Institut Max Mueller Bhavan
Names of the place is not a curse .
Nice video keezi. Unfortunately this city won't change 😁. The same trash ridden as it was when you walked here in 2013-14.
Juz wondering how safe it is to walk around downtown in Kolkata, coz I've got personal trauma with street dogs :(
I had zero problems
@@keeziwalks Casual walk would be ok, problem is I explore colonial architecture around Asia so chances are I gonna enter abandoned old buildings and meet these dogs inside :(
anyone else notice you see a lot more men than women on the streets
1:17:50 😳
Watched two videos of this channel. It's evident that this Dutch man is intentionally unobtrusive when it comes to showing the economically poorer sections of India.
El título de éste video dice que fue grabado 7 años atrás...ahora es 2022, pero todos en la calle llevan barbijos o tapabocas, por el Covid 19, no cierra...
7 years later
@@keeziwalks Te sigo desde hace rato, y en los videos de Kolkata & Varanasi de años atras, la gente no caminaba con mascarillas, en éste si...¿¿??
In this video the 70 % people wear kinriem, masker, gezichtsmaster...in those of 7 year ago, nobody...
Whats those loudspeakers saying?
I think you mean the call for prayer
@@keeziwalks ah! Thanks
@@keeziwalks India is getting even more Islamic than KSA or UAE these days☪️☪️
Though there's poverty and dirt but quite safe it is. poverty in the state will reduce to 1% in the next 2 decades and for cleanliness it will take a bit more time.
Safe???? Ya think it's safe in India🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😛😝😝😛😝😛🤪😛😛🤪😛🤪😛🤪😛🤪😜
Please come back to the US!

Very similar to my city Chittagong🇧🇩

There is no any change to see better development projects in this area. What are doing by state government in bengal
Better than before Okk
Didi is a Right wing fascist with left of center economic policies, the worst fuckincombination possible
Back then during British era, this place looks similar like London and now it's all ruined...By the way where are those trams???
Were there you during British period?
@@ranajit2355 there old pics and videos available in internet
@@ranajit2355 courtesy Biharis and Bangladeshis
@@blackadam6468 Kolkata improved a lot compared to British times. It has a metro system now. Trams are old.
@@arjunraj823 Many Indian cities have metro systems even tier 2 cities getting metro systems...Just visit the old pics of Calcutta, it looks amazing as it looks similar to UK cities... Nowadays Kolkata is all down more polluted, more dirtiest and lack in economic growths compared to other cities like Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad
I think paper musk, not enough need also earplugs
Wow. I don't want to point this out but I spotted like a dozen scammers within the first 10 minutes and more throughout the video.
4:30 there’s somebody pooping
Nossa na Índia ninguém faz nada da vida????
Todos vídeos só aparecem aquele monte de gente sentado mulher cuidando da vida dos outros
Que vida...que lugar horrivel
Yet all the CEOs are Indian. Social connections and mingling is very important
Open your eyes. Do you think this is whole India? 😂
Min. 19:35 "Vote this symbol ☭"
Whats the deal with masks and coof restrictions and stuff there now?
Whatever you saw in the city 7 years ago and what you saw during your most recent trip, i bet there is hardly any significant difference between them(in terms of development). Expect to see the same Kolkata 50 years later as well. Thanks to our current state government and 'honourable' Chief Minister.
I liked the previous walk in Mumbai that's a city I want to visit but sorry to say Kolkata doesn't appeal to me. Kolkata looks run down and far dirtier in comparison not a place I would visit if traveling to India.
It is old, run down and much safer than other Indian cities.
Coz Mumbai is more developed. Entire North India is dirty,undisciplined, rundown n corrupted. U can visit south india far safer
India's most underdeveloped city
in terms of?
What???
Scammerland
Also scammed land, 80% of the people here are scammed first before the mf ers decide to go international.
And you guys are dumb to fall for the trap. 😂
It's so dirty and polluted
This person has captured all the negative images of Kolkata. He even captured negative images of Mumbai. If I were to compare the two cities, unarguably, Mumbai is better and richer 😏
No Ravish, i don't want watch only beautiful city center with flowers, expensive cars etc.. This is real life.
Keezi walks always shows all sides of a location, that's the beauty of these videos.
@@rosalieathow56 It looks like the poor side of the city throughout the whole video. Where is the other side? I don't see beauty, I see poverty.
@@rosalieathow56 Don't deep it? what does that mean? Never heard this expression before.
Of course he can walk everywhere he wants but where is the showing of all sides of a location, it is more or less showing the same poverty all over the city. Where is the beauty in that?
What do you want me to show ? The gated communties ?
Walked the same route in 2007, hasn’t changed much but it is cleaner.
Only city in india to preserve its history
