Plan a nostalgic trip to the GPO Postal Museum and also enjoy good food

Relive the charm of handwritten letters and enjoy a sweet treat at the First Parcel Café

There was a time when rakhis arrived by post, and siblings would send them from other cities. Not being together on Raksha Bandhan made that envelope with the rakhi all the more special. This year, on Raksha Bandhan, why not celebrate the togetherness of being in the same city by visiting the GPO Postal Museum with your sibling and take a trip down memory lane? Relive the nostalgia of the olden days when letters were the only medium of communication, and don’t forget to drop by at the First parcel café at the General Post Office for some yummy treats.
