Destination & City Travel Guide
About Kunming
Kunming is often a gateway to wider Yunnan, but its own streets justify a slower start. Green Lake Park is close to older neighbourhoods, and Yuantong Temple gives a quieter stop within the urban core. The Stone Forest is outside the city and needs a separate excursion. Travellers from India can use the airport metro, though reaching a central hotel may require a line change. Keep the airport and railway station names distinct when planning onward travel.

Tips for travellers from India
Green Lake is a useful base for a first visit focused on older Kunming, with Yuantong Temple and central neighbourhood walks forming a manageable programme. A hotel chosen for Kunming South railway station serves a different purpose and places the emphasis on an onward train rather than the older urban core. Keep that distinction in mind when dividing nights between Kunming and other Yunnan destinations.
Metro Line 6 links Changshui Airport with Tangzixiang through the eastern side of the city. East Bus Station is an interchange on this route, not the only possible end point for an airport journey. Use the station nearest the hotel to decide where to change. Kunming Station and Kunming South are also separate railway destinations, so the departure station should be settled before arranging the final transfer.
Put the Stone Forest on a dedicated excursion outside the city. It does not fit naturally between Green Lake and Yuantong Temple, even though all three often appear in a short itinerary. Dianchi Lake forms another outing away from the older streets and can become the focus of a separate day. For a brief stop, the Green Lake area and Kunming Old Street give a more compact introduction before taking on those longer trips.
Best time to visit Kunming
March to May or September to November, about 12–24°C, for parks and excursions.

About Kolkata
Kolkata was the capital of British India until 1911, and its port, jute trade and publishing houses made it the commercial centre of the east. It opened the country's first metro in 1984, and College Street remains one of the largest second-hand book markets in India. Visitors come for the Victoria Memorial, the ghats along the Hooghly, Bengali sweets and fish, and above all for Durga Puja in autumn, which UNESCO added to its intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.

What's new in Kolkata
- August 2025: A Yellow Line section from Noapara to Jai Hind (Biman Bandar) opened on 22 August 2025, giving the airport its first metro station.
- August 2025: On the same day the Green Line gap between Esplanade and Sealdah opened, so trains now run through from Howrah Maidan and Howrah station, under the Hooghly, to Sealdah and Salt Lake Sector V.
- January 2026: India's first Vande Bharat sleeper train started running between Howrah and Kamakhya in Guwahati on 17 January 2026, an overnight trip of about 14 hours.
Tips for travellers
Park Street and the streets around Esplanade suit a short trip, with New Market, the Maidan and the Victoria Memorial close by; Salt Lake and New Town are nearer the airport and the IT offices. The Blue Line metro is the fastest way north and south, and the Green Line now crosses the river to Howrah. Yellow Ambassador taxis still run on the meter alongside app cabs.
November to February brings dry, mild days. Durga Puja falls in September or October; during the five main days, roads near the large pandals close to traffic, hotel rates rise and flights fill early. Kali Puja and Diwali follow a few weeks later. Heavy monsoon showers from June to September can leave streets waterlogged. The Victoria Memorial museum is closed on Mondays. Expect long queues at Kalighat and Dakshineswar on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and leave footwear at the counters outside.
Best time to visit Kolkata
November to February, with days of about 12-27°C and little rain. The monsoon runs from June to September.
