Secrets of Serampore Trail

Serampore (Srirampur) is much more than a small town along the Ganges in Hooghly; it saw the first printed letters of the Bengali language as well as the first Bengali newspapers. Known as Frederick Nagar, it was a Danish colony from 1755 to 1839. But Srirampur is more than another colony. Its pre-colonial history and stories of the missionaries are equally intriguing. Did you know the second largest Jagannath temple in India can also be located in this town?

Add to that the mysteries of Henry Martyns Pagoda, William Carey’s career as a missionary, St. Olav’s Church and much more.

Join us for this three-hour immersive experience of Srirampur, only 25 km from Kolkata.
