South Park Street Cemetery
Kolkata, India
Why you’re visiting: To take a break from the frenetic streets of India (and gulp as much fresh-ish air as possible before you have to leave)
This Christian cemetery dates back to the 1700-1800s, when architecture in colonial India often boasted a mix of both Western and local influences. The vibe here is overgrown tropical jungle scattered with crumbling tombs and mausoleums (that may or may not be haunted) that mimic the disrepair of the city’s most majestic buildings during the era.
