Serampore Day Trip
Serampore Day Trip Package
In the early 17th century, India’s opulence and riches, starting from the varied spices to its silk, to pottery and jewelry attracted the Europeans to establish outposts nestled in the little towns by river Ganges within the 80 km stretch from Kolkata. The first European colony to obtain permission to set up trading outposts in Bandel was the Portuguese followed by the Dutch in Chinsurah, Danish in Serampore, French in Chandannagar and finally the British in Kolkata.
