On the banks of the Hoogly river, a distributary of the Ganga, this is a great spot for an old school boat ride to view the iconic Howrah Bridge!

If you want to soak in the quaint charm of the city, go take a short boat ride on the Ganges and a few pretty photographs of the lit up Howrah Bridge.

Princep Ghat is also popular for picnicking, they can also conduct religious rituals, take a holy dip in the water, or go boating. This make it one of the finest places to visit in Kolkata

Oh a boat ride in the Ganges with the Vidyasagar Setu (bridge) in the backdrop! Align the boatride with a sunset or sunrise - it's a surreal experience. (It may not meet all the safety standards if you are mortified of water - in that case take a walk in that area - equally pretty and surreal! (the spot has high romance potential! =)
