The area around Howrah station has grown into a self-contained mini-universe, catering to the needs of a huge floating population.Howrah station and Howrah bridge are a real-life spectacle not to be missed by any visitor to Kolkata. And what better way to experience this spectacle than by ferry and foot, joining the daily commuters, vacationing families, railway porters, tea vendors, and fruit sellers.
