West Bengal’s beach town Digha is famous among tourists for its pristine beaches, mesmerising sunsets and delicious food. It is a popular sea resort town in West Bengal located in the Purba Medinipur district. Well, soon this place will have another reason to attract tourists as it will soon be home to creek cruises. From routes to frequency, here’s everything you must know about this upcoming development.
West Bengal’s Digha Will Soon Have Creek Cruises
Digha, West Bengal’s beach town, will soon have creek cruises for tourists, mostly around Durga Pooja. For people who did not get it, these cruises will be similar to the ones we already have in the Sundarbans.
The creek nestled off the Bay of Bengal is away from the rough waters of the sea, which makes it the perfect spot. The new creek cruises will begin from the Nayakali temple and move towards the inland. The temple is just 4km away from the Old Digha.
The cruise will last for an hour, and for now, we will offer two cruise trips every day. The cruise vessel will be capable of accommodating about 80 passengers. It will set out from the jetty point, which is near the Nayakali temple.

Reaching here will not be much of an issue as it is well connected with Kolkata and other cities in West Bengal by roadways and railways too. (As per Times Travel)
