About Beliaghata
Where to stay in Beliaghata
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Rooms cluster toward the middle of Kolkata rather than out here, so the working pattern for Beliaghata is a central bed and a short journey east to St. John's Catholic Church and the streets around it. Beleghata is the same place. The neighbourhood belongs to East Kolkata, and its own stock of beds is slight.
If you want an address in the Kolkata district's eastern reach rather than a room among the sights, Beliaghata gives you one, with St. John's Catholic Church the nearest fixed marker.
