Digha Tour Plan from Kolkata

History of digha.

Digha is the closest sea beach destination near Kolkata city . Digha Whoever resides in West Bengal visits this place at least once in a lifetime. It’s the oldest low-budget tourist spot and a famous economic destination. The sea is not as rough, and the waves are not as strong as you get on southern beaches like Puri Beach, Chennai, Vizag, etc.

The place is called Brighton of the East. The sea has gentle waves and a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The town of Digha is gradually spreading to cope with the tourist demands on the borders of Orissa. It is an ideal spot to spend a weekend.

The beauty was discovered in the late 18th century by Warren Hastings before known as ‘Beercool.’ It was reborn at the hands of Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy. But, today, the old Digha sea beach is now crowded.

My 1 Night 2 Days Digha Tour Plan from Kolkata

It’s my second trip after the  Shimla-Manali tour from Kolkata . We have done a suddenly planned weekend tour with my husband. The first view of the beach is mesmerizing.

I saw some were busy having sea baths, some were shopping, and the rest were enjoying the seashore breeze. We enjoyed the Cheerful weather, the hilarious sea breeze, and the pine forests on the beach. Local Peoples are excellent & friendly.

Digha Beaches are the places where you sit and admire the natural sceneries. You can sit there for hours looking at the endless sea. It was probably my 10th trip when I wrote the article about Digha tourist spots and Sea Beaches in West Bengal.

1st Day – How to reach Digha from Kolkata – Our Holiday story

We started the trip from Howrah station by Tamralipta Express on the first day. We boarded the train this morning at 6:40 am; it takes 4.30 hours to reach Digha from Howrah station (around 10:10 am). Many autos and Toto are standing outside the station. We take a rickshaw to get to our hotel. A regular bus from Esplanade is also going to Digha daily.

In the Evening, Enjoy at Digha Sea Beach

After coming to the hotel and resting, we went to the beach. It’s low-crowded and clean (not on Saturday/Sunday). There are many coconut sellers on sea beaches, and we bought some coconut from one of them and kept shoes and mobile there.

We spent an hour on the sea beach. While we were enjoying the sea bath, the local Photographer took pictures of us. After that, we returned to the hotel and finished lunch. That time, the Photographer delivered the images to my hotel address.

We revisited the sea beach in the evening and enjoyed the high tide view. It is beautiful to see from the beachside. But be careful, do not bathe at this time, which can be dangerous.

Second Day – Digha Sightseeing

On the second day, we woke up in the early morning and reached the sea beach to see the sunrise. At that time, many red crabs were roaming the entire coast.

You can find many tourist places in Digha, like Digha Mohana and Fish Market, Digha Science Centre, Digha Science Centre, Satsang, Mandarmani Sea Beach, Tajpur, Sankarpur, etc.

We visit those places with a toto and return to our hotel in the evening. Last, we took the train from Digha around 6:30 pm and reached Howrah around 10 pm.

Where to Stay in Digha – Best Hotels and Resorts

Today, Digha has many hotels, holiday homes, resorts, etc. You can easily reach your desired destination and get a room within your budget. Rooms are available, starting from 200 rupees to 5000 rupees.

Old Digha’s room rent is lower than new Digha’s, and old Digha is also crowded compared to new Digha. In my experience, a sea-facing room is unnecessary in Digha because the sea is a small distance from any hotel. Trying to stay near the sea beach helps to save time and money and quickly reach the beach whenever you want.

Please note that many people come to Digha from Kolkata every weekend. I do not recommend spot booking because the hotel owner or staff demands more than average rates. Book your room in advance, especially on Saturday and Sunday.

Old and New Digha Sea Beach West Bengal, India

There is two sea beach, old Digha and New Digha. New Digha Sea Beach is still low, crowded and clean. The distance between both coasts is one kilometre.

The Govt. of West Bengal made the beach beautiful and decorated it with parks and lights. The beaches are highly crowded in the evening to watch waves with a cool sea breeze. You can hire a bike for Orisha Mohona. Watch my entire  Digha playlist  on YouTube to know the current situation.

Digha Seafood

There are a vast number of options for food. If you want fresh seafood and local sweet water fish, visit Nehru market; otherwise, go to Mohana or  Udaypur Beach . Nehru market is the best option to get fish/crab at a low price.

Now the question comes of how to eat them? No worries, many hotels are frying those fish and making tasty curries at a nominal price. Also, various fish stalls will cook and serve you on demand.

Also, there’s Wow Momo, Domino’s Pizza, and Barista Cafe near the beach. And there are other readymade fish fry and snack stalls on the beach.

You can enjoy street food, and fried fish is trendy among tourists. Multiple other restaurants and roadside food stalls offer excellent food at a reasonable price, and even roadside stalls are of very excellent & tidy quality. But the hygiene of the place made me a little sad.

Shopping at Digha

A beachside market is a must-visit place for small trinkets or showpieces made of seashells. You could get beautiful conch-shell jewellery, sankha, and kids -toys from the beachside vendors.

All the shops display jewellery, toys, home decor and many more. Some sea stone articles look gorgeous. Shopping at the beachside market is memorable for me. I bought some locally designed mats, bags, slippers, and food items like Peanuts, sweet coconut, etc.

Water Sports in Digha

If you know how to swim, ride a boat; the waves are calm and steady here. Deep in the water by boat is perfectly safe here. In the monsoon season, the activity stops due to high tides.

Best time to visit the Digha beach

Visit the place from late Oct to Early February or Visit in March to May before the Monsoon, as one could enjoy the roaring waves on the beach and have seaside fun.

Digha Tour Precautions

Some ricksha walla will take you to the hotel if you haven’t made the booking prior. This way, your hotel stay will be costly as the rickshaw walla will ask to broker charge from the hotel. I would recommend directly going to the hotel and discussing the rates.

Digha Vs Mandarmani

The main difference between Digha Vs Mandarmani is the location. Digha is overcrowded throughout the year, and the peace-loving people love Mandarmani Beach. Digha is the most preferred holiday destination. It’s known as “West Bengal’s Goa.”

The beach remains, and visitors enjoy city-like amenity options for shelter, food, and shopping. Tourists who prefer calmness over amenities should choose Mandarmani above Digha.

Mandarmani Beach offers serenity and is not overcrowded. Fewer amenities are available to visitors, and options for eating, lodging, and shopping are limited. The beach is almost a virgin beach, and it’s a luxurious place.

Why is Digha famous for?

Digha is mainly famous for its sea beach. From Kolkata, people enjoy the sea weaves and take a bath every weekend. Also, there are many tourist spots. Follow the article.

Is Digha safe for unmarried couples?

Yes, it’s safe for an unmarried couple. Please carry valid ID proof for hotel booking.

What is the best time to visit Digha?

Every time is the best time to visit Digha. But you can skip the winter season between November to January.

Which is better for family trips Digha or Darjeeling?

Both places are suitable for a family trip. Darjeeling is the best place to visit in summer, and Digha is ideal for staying with the family anytime throughout the year, as it’s only a 4/5 hour journey from Kolkata.

From which places in Kolkata do you get a bus for Digha?

The buses from Esplanade, Baruipur, Ultadanga, Karunamoyee WBTC (CTC) to Digha daily depart at 5 am.

It is a beautiful place to make a weekend exciting within budget. It’s a very economical weekend destination with various places & activities of enjoyment. Besides enjoying the sea beach, you could easily plan a 2-night stay within 3 thousand rupees with family.

It is an ideal place for spending one or two nights. The young crowd could be noisy with their beer bottles, but there is nothing much to worry about. There are a few more places to visit nearby. You can find a lot of fun, tasty non-veg food, and a long Beach walk, filling you with immense pleasure and joy. Go, Digha, for an economical yet delightful trip.

Digha Beach Kolkata Timings

Located at a distance of 187 kilometers from Kolkata, the city of Joy, in the Eastern Indian state of West Bengal in India, Digha is a small yet popular beach town on the southern border. Digha beach is a flat beach and is one of the widest sea beaches in the world. It is the best weekend getaway destination for locals and its proximity to the Odisha border also means people from Odisha living close to the border town can hop in here during the weekend.

One of the unique features of Digha is that the beach is lined by casuarina plantations all around making the place more alluring. Surprisingly, there aren’t any coconut trees around Digha beach. Since the beach is shallow and flat for around one mile, it makes a safe option for visitors to take a dip or go swimming in the ocean waters.

History about Digha Beach

It was the Britishers who discovered the tiny beach town during the late 18th century at the time when Warren Hastings was the Governor of Bengal. Hastings was so smitten by the beauty and serenity of the place that he had referred Digha beach to ‘Brighton of the East’ in one of his letters to his wife.

Later, around 1923, when the English tourist John Frank Smith decided to settle in Digha after being charmed by the place, he started promoting it through his articles that he had published about this place. That’s how, the quaint beach town, which was known as Beerkul originally, became the quick getaway option for local tourists. It was John Frank Smith who persuaded the then Chief Minister of West Bengal, Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy to develop Digha as a beach resort town.

This beach too, is dotted with casuarina trees and gives a feel of accommodation at a private beach due to its location.

Since this is a public beach, there are makeshift food stalls available near the beach. These stalls are usually set up by local fishermen who cook their catch of the day and sell the fish. There are boat rides, camel, and horse rides available. Water sports like banana rides, speed boats and All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV) are also available. The ATV rides cost between INR 50 to 70 for a 3-kilometer ride.

There are accommodation facilities available here too. Tourist huts are run by West Bengal Tourism and OCEANA Tourist Complex separately. There is a parking facility available by the beach. The parking fee is INR 40.

3. Talasari Beach : Known to be the last beach of North-eastern coast of India, Talasari beach is located 5- 6 kilometers from Digha, in the Baleswar district of Odisha. The beach is famous for being quaint, squeaky clean, and serene which is inhabited by sand dunes and calm waves. The beach is dotted with palm trees, coconut trees and cashew plantations.

The name Talasari literally translates to rhythm of the palm trees where, ‘Tala’ means palm tree and ‘Sari’ means rhythm. It indicates the rhythm formed by the golden sands and green trees with an occasional dash of red in between formed due to the red crabs which are found in abundance here.

Located around 18 kilometers from Digha, the Chandpur beach is different from the other beaches due to its eroded banks and due to the recession caused by the seawater gradually, in the course of the past few years.

Please note that there aren’t any food stalls near the beach hence, you will need to carry your own food if you wish to spend a full day on the beach. It is recommended to spend at least two hours to experience the place.

A Weekend Trip to Digha – Bengal’s own Goa

Last Updated on May 9, 2024

This Digha travel blog is just an account of our weekend trip to Digha, my first trip with my little one who was just 10-months-old at the time. Huge waves splashing on the rocks and then to your face. The beautiful Sal Forest providing the much-needed respite from the scorching sun in the beach. That's how I pictured Digha when I heard of it in my childhood days. Located a little over 200 km from Kolkata, Digha is the evergreen tourist hotspot for the city-dwellers. However, I never got the chance to visit Digha till June this year. This was the first trip since October 2020 and with our little one. 

The post contains affiliate links for tours, hotels etc. This means if you make any purchase through the links in the post, I may get a commission without any additional cost to you.

First impression of Digha

Digha is probably the most tourist-dense places I have visited in India, closely followed by Kodaikanal . These are domestic tourists, mainly from the home state West Bengal itself. We went in late June, when we experienced alternate days of unbearable heat and rainfall. Naturally this happens to be the off-season for any tropical beach. But even then, hotels were full, the beaches in vicinity were all too crowded and there was a rush at the famous Amravati Park till the time of closure.

The great thing about Digha is the beautification of some old beaches – the old Digha beach, the Shankarpur beach and some new beaches as well. They are all amazing to visit with the elderly and kids alike because of ample seats to rest in the shade. The Shaal forests are peaceful places to stroll, for those who can't be in the crowd. If you are going by car, drive to the slightly secluded places like the Tajpur Beach and Talsari beach. Digha is also a fantastic place for shopping, so make sure you have some extra space for bringing back the goodies.

Read: The checklist for roadtrip with an infant

We started late on Friday at around 9 am after getting our 10-month-old ready. The road from Kolkata to Digha is quite a breeze once you get through the initial hurdle of Behala's traffic. We reached our hotel at 2pm after driving around 185 km. It was a good idea to eat and take some rest while escaping the scorching summer sun of June. 

Our stay in Digha

We stayed at Hotel Daltin, which was located close to the Dheusagar Park Beach. While the location was within a walkable radius of the major points of interest like Old Digha Beach, New Digha Beach and Amarabati park, it didn't have a sea-view.

Because of the huge tourist influx, the price of good hotels is on the higher side. But the entire coastline is lines with hotels and lodges for all pocket-sizes. They are mostly full on the weekends, so advance booking is a must.

Plan ahead so that you can book the government lodge that is located close to the old Digha beach. It is cheap and well-equipped for a decent stay. Although you will not get the luxury of pool and spa, the spacious rooms, and the proximity to the beautiful old Digha beach compensate for it.

Since there is so much to see and do in Digha, I'd rather not splurge on an expensive spa resort. For that you have the nearby beach-town Mandarmoni. Digha is a place for backpackers and thrifty tourists. Here are some other places I recommend.

Evening drive to Talsari Beach, Odisha

Well, that sounds strange right? Skip all major tourist spots and drive 10 km to a different state of India? Well, we started off with New Digha – the throbbing, overcrowded beach-cum-market. I don't mind the crowd when you have a vast sand beach to explore. But New Digha Beach is not a sand beach. It's a rock beach where the crowds hustle to get photos and see the sunset. It's really the kind of experience that drives me away. And it did drive me far away to the Talsari Beach in Odisha.

It was a lovely experience to escape to this serene beach in rural Odisha. It is popular and hosts many tourists – like a quarter of the tourists in New Digha. But mark me, even that's not a small number. Lined by the cashew forests, the rugged beauty of the sea will leave you enchanted in the evening.

We had a lot planned for the next day. Starting with old Digha Beach, Amravati Park, Marine Aquarium, and all the way to the distant beaches of Tajpur and Mandarmani. But with elderly parents and an infant, things don't always go as planned.

Morning walk to Dheusagar Beach-Park

Before breakfast we had a brisk walk to the adjacent Dheusagar beach-park. It is a relatively new attraction in Digha. The beautified park amidst the Shaal Forest opens at 9 am. Though we couldn't enter the park's premises, we walked through the forests up to the beach.

The early morning views of the beach are spectacular as usual. Even though the sky was overcast, I loved the ambience of the morning.

Drive to Mandarmani

Mandarmani is a resort-town near Digha. Most of the beaches are private and owned by the resorts. The one we landed at by following the Google Maps was a secluded beach with not a single tourist. 

Keeping the heavy traffic of old Digha in mind we drove straight to Mandarmani. The experience was quite unique with and refreshing after the overcrowded Digha. But with the strong gush of sand blowing across our face we couldn't linger there for long.

Tajpur Beach – My favorite

Tajpur beach is located midway between Digha and Mandarmani. Not only is this beautiful and secluded, but also beautified by the government of West Bengal. With beach-shacks, cafes and parks, this is the perfect beach for families. There are ample shaded places to sit and enjoy the views on a sunny day or when it rains.

Also this is a sand beach where you can bathe, play and make sand-castles. Another refreshing change from the rock beaches of Digha.

Sunset at Mohana End point

After this we came back to the hotel for lunch and rest. We set out once again in the evening and drove past the Old Digha Beach to Mohana end point. Over-tourism ensured that we indeed had to drive to the “END POINT” to find a parking spot for our car. But this place had was quiet and calm- just the way I like it in an evening at the seashore.

Since this is on the eastern coast, you can catch the sunset on the opposite side of the sea. I walked up to the watchtower to manage a couple of decent pictures. Wasn't too good.

Old Digha and Amarabati Park

Old Digha Beach looked beautiful from far away. It's also well-beautified by the state government and has a throbbing market near it. However, since we didn't get a parking slot we drove straight to the Amarabati Park. 

Amarabati Park is one of the most popular tourist spots in Digha. It has beautifully curated garden which you can explore through the lovely walkways. There is an artificial lake for boating and a ropeway too.

Day 3 – Homebound

On our way back we headed to the Shankarpur beach – a fishing village which has now been beautified similar to the old Digha beach. I must say that this was my second-favorite spot in the Digha trip, besides Tajpur Beach.

Well, if you are looking for a perfect Digha itinerary, this is not the one. This was our first trip after a span of 1.5 years, and we enjoyed the short getaway. The news of communal violence erupting in different parts of India did scare us right in the middle of the trip. But thankfully everything went smoothly. 

I'd conclude that Digha is a great place for weekend getaway if you don't mind the crowd. It's better to use the local transport options in Digha instead of your own car. That way you not only help the environment, boost the local economy and a responsible traveler by doing so, but it is also convenient. Getting a parking spot at the major tourist spots is not easy.

It will take two days only to explore the Digha town. One would love to spend more time in the areas like Tajpur Beach or Talsari beach, for which you'd need to add a couple more days to your holiday.

Well, that was my travelogue of Digha. Have you been there? Let me know in the comments section and share the article if you liked it. Here's an image for you to pin.

This looks so interesting! I am always interested in reading about destinations that are a bit off the tourist track and i might travel to Bangladesh for work so i keep this for future reference

It’s not Bangladesh. it is a highly popular tourist destination in the Indian state West Bengal.

Nice to read your blog author. Thank you. Keep it up.

I had never been to Digha of which I heard so much even from my own relatives. Now the nice article by Sinjana Ghosh took me there as I read it from abroad. I started imagining what else can be added to the list of things to be done to boost the tourists flow and economy there. Here are some suggestions for the government and entrepreneurs.

1. Plant a lot of trees especially near the marshy areas- trees like coconut and palm trees, These will prevent erosion of the soil near the beach area apart from adding to the scenic view. Flower plants will catch the eye of tourists. 2. Restaurants, shops with many varieties, some amusement centers including a big size movie screen displaying current news and history of Digha and future plan of development, big size aquariums, ATM machine etc. will attract tourists. 3. It is necessary to have nice hotels nearby. 4. Well trained coast guards and arrangement for swimsuits/jackets (on payment) can encourage tourists to enjoy well in the water without fear. 5. Thanks to the government for trying to improve road connectivity.

Thanks, Mr. De, for such a thoughtful comment. I agree with you on all these ideas. However, there are already a large number of hotels accommodating many tourists. I believe, coast guards and water activities can increase the earnings for the local population.

Your tour weblog on the weekend day trip to Digha is an absolute delight! The vivid descriptions and fascinating pictures without a doubt transported me to the serene seashores and charming locales you explored. Your non-public anecdotes and targeted insights make this weblog ideal information for everybody planning a go-to to Digha. Keep sharing your incredible tour experiences!

Thank you for sharing your experience in so much detail! Digha is no doubt one of the famous tourist hotspots in West Bengal. This thorough itinerary will not only help people of Bengal but also from outside to plan their vacation at Digha smoothly and not miss out on any spot. Keep sharing more blogs on your travel experiences! Also, I would suggest that staying near the seaside elevates one’s experience more. Hotel Utopia is one of the best hotels in Old Digha near sea beach which is totally affordable and you or anyone can try planning your next stay there!T

Thanks a lot Akash. I will consider this option next time.
