WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
translating ethical research into immersive experiences
We are an academic-run, research-oriented company that provides walking tours of Kolkata for locals and tourists to enable them to experience the city in a new way and connect with diverse local communities. We also organize workshops for children and adults that teach certain skills that are not otherwise available and that make them aware and responsible stakeholders for sustainable maintenance of our collective urban heritage in a time of rapid urban expansion. A part of the revenue we generate is channelled into various independent and collaborative documentation and conservation projects.

Trusted Heritage
Giving Back @ Heritage Walk Calcutta
Trusted Heritage is an initiative of Heritage Walk Calcutta to undertake projects and training programmes that address overlooked heritage issues. We seek to change the heritage conversation in South Asia and beyond both by ourselves and in collaboration with like-minded organizations and universities worldwide.
A majority of the Trusted Heritage projects are independently funded by reinvesting part of the profits generated by Heritage Walk Calcutta's commercial activities.
