Hey readers!Welcome to my blog.
This is my first post ever and hence I intend to write about a place in my city kolkata which you would love to visit.
History: This is a beautiful "ghat" on the banks of Ganga buit in 1841. There is a memorial dedicated to the Anglo-Indian scholar, orientalist and antiquary James Prinsep which is stunning to behold.
How to reach:
1. Take a taxi.
2. Avail of the kolkata train line from Ballygunge or Dumdum train station via Majherhat and get down at prinsep ghat station. Trains are rare so make sure you get hold of a time-table.
3. Take a suitable bus from Howrah station.
Description: If u want a breath taking view of the Second Hooghly bridge,want to enjoy the scenic beauty of Ganga river, simply take a boat ride with your friends or go on a romantic date this is the place to go. Thanks to the Ganga bank project the place has been renovated by the West Bengal goverment. The place now consists of a beautiful garden besides the river and has nice benches to sit. Outside food and beverages are allowed. There is a police coop around to offer more security. There is an old icecream parlour @scoops and plenty of street food stalls. The memorial of James Prinsep in white is beautiful. The sunrise and sunset at this spot is amazing.So if you are a tourist do not skip this place! And if you are a Kolkattan and haven't yet visited you are missing out a most beautiful spot of your city! :)
See u again friends! Till then ,take care..
