caltour@cal2.vsnl.net.in
) is your best bet for information on Calcutta, West Bengal and destinations further afield, and can assist with itineraries and booking tours. The
Government of West Bengal Tourist Bureau
, 3/2 BBD Bagh East (tel 033/248 8271), arranges tours of Calcutta and package trips around West Bengal. They also issue permits and book tours and accommodation at the Sunderbans and Jaldapara wildlife parks.
Tourist information counters
at the airport and Howrah Station offer the same services.
English-language
newspapers
such as the
Statesman, Telegraph
and
Hindusthan Standard
remain the primary source for information on
what's on
but the monthly
CalCalling
(Rs240), also found in some hotel rooms, is excellent for listings and general information on the city.

is a free leaflet, available from both the West Bengal and Government of India tourist offices.
