Howrah Bridge
Howrah Bridge is the busiest and sixth-longest cantilever bridge in the world. Built as one of four bridges on the Hooghly River in the city of Kolkata, it was the also third-longest cantilever bridge when it was constructed. It derived its name because it connected the two cities of Howrah and Kolkata in West Bengal. It was later renamed to Rabindra Setu in the honor of the first Indian (and Asian) Nobel laureate and eminent Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore.

Best Time to Fly to Kolkata
The best time to fly to Kolkata is the winter season from October to March. It is the most perfect time of the year to visit because it includes two of the city�s biggest cultural festivals, Durga Puja and Deepawali. The former, in particular, has a stronger influence with beautiful idols of Goddess Durga dotting all parts of the city. Budget travelers can visit Kolkata during the summer season in April and May. One can enjoy lower air fares and hotel rates because the tourist influx is reduced owing to oppressive heat.
