    A quick tip is to grab a cheap “puchka” or “jhal muri” from the stalls just inside the Howrah Bridge south side entrance it’s almost free and gives you a real taste of Kolkata before you head back. If you need a place to crash, Polo Floatel Kolkata is only 0.6 km from all three spots and usually has single rooms around ₹1,200, so you can stay within walking distance and keep the budget low.
