River Hooghly is synonymous to Kolkata’s pride. We have put together five fun things that you can do along, on and around the river.
Evening Nouka ride
If you are in Kolkata and haven’t yet enjoyed a boat ride, complete with an oar, a hanging lantern and you sitting right near the edge, you are missing out on an amazing experience. The incredible boat ride from Princep Ghat on the old-fashioned boats leads you to get a glimpse of the celestially lit-up Vidyasagar Setu and the towering Howrah Bridge. A boat ride costs you between INR 250-400.
Have your dinner on the river
If you want to have the perfect romantic experience, coupled with the best view of the city, a star-lit sky and a soothing view of the river below, Floatel is the place you should go. Located on an anchored ship, comfortably located between the Howrah Bridge and Vidyasagar Setu, this place offers you euphoria as well as peacefulness. Not to mention, a satisfied tummy too.
Water Sports and Fun
Every weekend, there’s water skiing and Gemini boat rides held under expert guidance on the Southern side of Babughat. Additionally, all enjoyment that you will experience is free of cost.
Happy Strolling
Kolkata Story Tours organise a two-hour riverfront walk and a boat ride while telling you stories about the Ganges and Hooghly and the evolution of the city along its banks. You will be getting a glimpse of the history of Old Kolkata and its Monuments, all the while breathing the crisp air around you.
