Lonely Planet review

Today Park St is one of Kolkata's top commercial avenues. But when built in the 1760s it was a simple causeway across uninhabited marshlands built for mourners to access the then-new Park Street Cemetery. Today that cemetery remains a wonderful oasis of calm with mossy Raj-era graves - from rotundas to soaring pyramids - jostling for space in a lightly manicured jungle. Buying the guide-booklet supports its maintenance.
