10. Kolkata


Kolikata is the original word from which 'Kolkata' derives. It is, in fact, the Bengali name of one of the three villages in that area. It is also known that the name was derived from a place called 'Kalighat,' though another theory claims that it is a variation of 'Kalikkhetrô.' The city was previously known as 'Calcutta,' and it serves as the capital of West Bengal. Years ago, the state bordered Bangladesh and was known as the main educational, cultural, and commercial centre of East India. In addition, the Port of Kolkata is the oldest operating port in the world, and the city is now known as India's cultural capital.
Kolkata is known as the "City of Joy," and it stretches north-south along the east bank of the Hooghly River. According to the facts, the city was originally a wetland, but it has been flooded with people over the years. The other undeveloped area is known as East Kolkata Wetlands, and it contains alluvial soil and water. As a result, the Bengal basin is made up of three structural units: a central hinge or shelf/slope break, a shelf or platform in the west, and a pericratonic tertiary basin. When it comes to Kolkata's location, it is right atop the hinge zone's western part, which spans more than 20 kilometres.


Because of its magnificent landscape, historical sites, and numerous other beautiful features as well as rich culture, it is undoubtedly the most wonderful solo travel destination in India.
