About This Blog

-
People who stay out of Bengal (whether in India or abroad) are known as "Prabasi Bangali" or immigrant Bengalis. Even I am myself a prabasi bengali. So I very well understand what are the things that we really miss about Kolkata (Calcutta) and Bengal. This Blog is an endeavor to bring Kolkata  (Calcutta) and Bengal near you through your laptop, desktop, tab etc.

Whenever we visit Kolkata (Calcutta), the City of Joy, we have great expectations from the city... but since we don't get much time in hand so we require some vital information that makes our stay in the city pleasant. In this Blog I will try to provide these informations. Also I wish to share Info that can help us keep the Bangaliaana alive in our lives.

Feel free to send your feedbacks / suggestions to me @ info@kolkatatraveller.com

I fully agree and support their demand and think that everyone must get a chance to see and share the rich Bengali culture that is present both in India and Bangladesh. So here I am, with the ever-expanding list of Bangla Newspapers that are published in Bangladesh and are also available online. In Bangladesh the daily newspapers are published from Dhaka, as well as from major regional cities of Chittagong, Khulna, Rajshahi, Sylhet and Barisal. All daily newspapers are morning editions, there are no evening editions in Bangladesh. Some Newspapers have just portals... and some have epapers... so in this post have mentioned links to ePapers as well as News Portals. If you feel that I have missed to mention any site then please do tell me in the comments section. Also your feed
