Travel Together Everywhere, a Kolkata heritage travel group, runs this day trip to two of Bengal's weaving centres, booked through Immersive Trails. It leaves from the K C Das shop at Esplanade at 8 AM on Sunday 15 November, lasts about 12 hours and returns to the same place, in an AC vehicle. In Phulia the group visits weavers' neighbourhoods and working looms, sees how a saree goes from yarn to finished cloth, learns about Phulia's Tangail and Jamdani weaving and its link with Krittibas Ojha, the poet of the Bengali Ramayana, and calls at handloom cooperatives.
In Shantipur it looks at the town's own weaving techniques and designs. Meeting weavers depends on who is available that day. Lunch, tea and snacks and a guide are included, and the tour is led in Bengali, Hindi and English.
Guests are asked to bring their own water bottle.
