South Park Street Cemetery, Kolkata (Calcutta)

South Park Street Cemetery is one of the oldest in India as well as in Calcutta. It is a Heritage site, opened in the year of 1767 and closed in the year 1790. Later on different Plaques had been set up from different places. The place has been more or less maintained, big trees are all over the place. Very quiet atmosphere with a bit different feelings. Gate is open at 10 am every day and It closes at 5 pm. Entry fee is Rs. 20 and with camera is Rs. 50. South Park Street Cemetery is a Christian burial ground. Many famous personalities buried here like Henry Louis Vivian Derozio, Sir William Jones, James Hindu Stuart and many more.....

It was a beautiful atmosphere and so peaceful. The front desk was very helpful in finding a few graves. Though I think it can properly maintained even more .

One of Oldest cemetery i have visited. Fee of the graves are of 17th century. Its nice to visit this. But in rainy season not good. Most of the roads have mud or eater storage, very slippery. Nice place for some conceptual photoshoots.

I liked it overall. Some tombs are peacefull, some are somewhat gave the feeling, move quickly from here. Especially near the exit gate, which is closed, no crowd, bad smell, and feels something not good. I would suggest go in a group or where there are some people. After all more than 200 years old graveyard, I hope you understand. Exit within 2 hrs. Its a rule. Good luck.

Its a historical place. Usually very calm and quite atmosphere inside... Its a good place to go alone and think quietly.
