Country : India

Type : Incentives

The newly revamped Kolkata tram is a great way to experience the “City of Joy” and an outing to remember.  Passengers can choose to dine and also enjoy local specialities.   

 

The Kolkata tram in its latest avatar in the form of tourist friendly tour in air conditioned comfort and a great way to see this fascinating city at a leisurely pace. What better way to travel than in an electric tram service which dates back to over a century as it makes its way through the streets of Kolkata.

 

With a capacity of 24 or 53 and equipped with WiFi, the AC or Non AC tram runs multiple rides daily to the north and south of the city. Each ticket costs includes snacks. This is India’s only electric Tram service and dates back to the colonial times. Trams are still plying in Kolkata and a fixture of this mega city even after 133 year old Calcutta Tramways Company. Take a ride in one of these AC trams early morning and get a taste of old Kolkata's magical heritage.  

 

Book either a seat in the Tram or the entire Tram to celebrate in a special way.
