This leg's Detour was a choice between Heavy but Short or Light but Long. In Heavy but Short, teams had to travel over to Lansdowne Road to transport a taxi a half-mile to a local garage, where the owner would hand them their next clue. The taxis had no engines, so teams would have to push the taxi. In Light but Long, teams had to travel to Kolkata's largest flower market to find a particular stall and receive a garland, which they then had to release into the Ganges for good luck to receive their next clue.
