The Cultural Trail

The Cultural Trail is a Safarnama journey through Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Konark and Guwahati. Each city is a real route between its monuments. Walk, run or ride wherever you are; every kilometre you log moves you along the route, and reaching a monument unlocks its story. Finish every city on the trail to earn its medallion.
