Best place for time spend with your special person. Wide area, anywhere you can sit and enjoy your time.. No time limit no entry fee.. Closing time #8.30pm...Also enjoy a boat riding @400/- for 30minute..🌙Evening is the Best time to go there, cold wind, river side, with loveable one/ friend circle will be a perfect evening..Many fast-food 🥪🌮stall can found there for having something...

It is an absolutely stunning site. I 100% recommend this. You can go for boating and relax. There are food stores nearby can just sit there and grab a bite. Theres a station right outside the ghat so no problem for commute. Else there are cabs or local vehicles available outside. Enjoy!

Nice place for relaxation, but some peoples are shouting, may be excited. Overall Nice place for some hours spend for relaxation. One thing some food prices is so high compare to normal shop and after taking food they dont use dustbin for remove packet, so place is so dirty, I request you please use dustbin.

Really a nice place that you might be vidite.Surprisingly the place was much quieter this Sunday. The memorial is nowadays barricaded with iron railings and not accessible to common people. However, both the memorial and the area around it is being nicely maintained by the authorities. Idk why the ghat is also barricaded and public were not allowed to access the river water there. All in all a good place for photo op and half a day family outing. N.B.- pl take adequate safety measures if you have kids as a relatively busy railway line crosses between the memorial and the ghat.

A nice place to spend the evenings and watch the sun set. But visitors have littered all over area. Not a very comfortable place to visit with your family as there are lots of couples who are so much in love that they forget to control their actions and sometimes tend to cross limits especially when there are other people all around.The boat rides charge for 400rs for half an hour and plenty if shops are located over there where people can find item to snack on. Also if somebody is planning to do phtoshoots please do come to this place.

Situated at the bank of Hooghly River this is good place to visit during the golden hour... Its a very nice place....The Prinsep Ghat and its surroundings are really very beautiful. Especially the view of Vidyasagar Setu from this ghat added extra attraction. This place is also considered a shooting spot. this place is a great place for couples.... nice garden with boating in the near by river. take some good pictures.We also took a boat ride in the evening in the Hoogly river which was very enjoyable.This is a pretty cool place to hangout with friends, with family or with your partner. Its a perfect destination for evening

A classic scenic beauty with a fresh and ambient atmosphere.A word of caution, do not bring your kids here post evening.. the benches are occupied by people who seem to devour each other without the need of privacy

Very beautiful place to visit at evening. You can spend a memorable evening with your family and friends here with tea coffee and snaks beside the river Ganga

Amazing view , cool breeze from the Ganges , many ghats and sitting places ,boat rides available , traditional Bengali boats for rent. The only problem is reaching the spot. Almost no busses go by this place. A very lucrative tourist place yet not maintained properly. Young kids should avoid since adult contents are continuously occuring behind the umbrella and bushes.

Great sunset view. Around 1.5 km from Victoria Memorial. Boat rides are fun too.

It is a beautiful place in kolkata. One can go with family,friends or special ones. You can easily reach this place both by road or by railways.Seeing sunset from princep ghat , sitting just in front of ganga with beautiful and warm sunlight on your face at eve is an awesome experience.Must visit place for photographers. One will get some awesome clicks from different angles.There is no entry fees for this place.

It is good place for couples but there was no much of interest for me Rather (Victoria memorial )is a good visit place.If you are a history loving person you will definitely like this place.I visited this place somewhere around August let’s have a glimpse with some of my stills

Situated at the bank of Hooghly River this is good place to visit during the golden hour. We reached late but still the place did not disappoint. There is Boating available incase one wants to enjoy the sunset in the evening. The Garden is good for a walk with eateries. We visited weekend and May be tats why all we found was couples everywhere seemed like a hub for couples than family recreation place. But we had a good time👌🏻

Prinsep Ghat is barely 6 kilometres away from the centre of the city. Local buses, rickshaws and taxis are the best modes of public transport that tourists can take.

Very nice place to enjoy boat ride and sunset. One can also the soft breeze flowing from the Ganges in the dusk. Several cruise rides are also there having different rates. Lighting of the place could have been better as it gets very dark after evening.

It is a good place to see the sunset. You can have tasty pao bhaji there. But people might feel awkward there, when they see couples all around there.

Best timing evening during sunset.The view is so mesmerizing.One can hangs out with friends or alone.One of the most beautiful place in kolkata but sometimes its little bit of crowded.

You can get boat ride here and sit aside river Ganga. The view is great here and you get a lot of street food options to try as well. The scenic beauty here is awesome and the boat ride is the main attraction. Now its more of a couple area but people of any age group can enjoy here.

A very nice place to visit specially during the sunset hour. It is well maintained and a perfect place for photographers and artists to click pictures and draw paintings respectively. A must watch place and ya dont miss the circular train ride!

Nice and enchanted place for nature lover and also for couples 💗😆! U can obviously spend beautiful times with your favourite one by the side of river "Ganges !" You can do photoshoot boating !Best place of North Kolkata for one day visit !

Good view. That place on holds on to some mesmerizing view of vidyasagar setu above Ganges.The place is also not advised for small kids as you will find average nudity along the benches. Now you are not allowed to go inside of the actual ghat monument.

This is one of the oldest place of Kolkata. Beautiful place and also you can get positive vibes. Here you can come with friends family and loved ones. Also you can get boat ride. Overall this is a small package of happiness.

I loved the view. There are no entry fees for this ghat. Its open from 5-11 pm. The best time to visit would be in the evening. You can feel the soft breeze as well as get the advantage of witnessing the sunset which is to die for. Mostly, couples hang around here, but ya, it is a lovely place to visit with your near ones.

A lot of shaded area with ancient trees, a famous monument, view of the setu Sagar bridge, long walkway, eating roadside joints great for family picnic.

This place is very peaceful and pleasant for all. One of the best place for photo shoot in Kolkata. This place has its own vibes and magical beauty. Boat rides are available here at Rs. 500-600 of half an hour. The view of 2nd Hooghly bridge and sunset are fascinating from here... 😊😊

Beautiful river side place in Kolkata. You can enjoy the river view and Vidyasagar Bridge view at this place. This is also beautiful Sunset point in Kolkata. Parking is available on the main road side. No entry fee required. You can enjoy this place very much.

Nice attraction in Kolkata. Historical place which has a Ghat, Station and a Park near by. Has a huge ground where you can relax. The sight of howrah bridge and James Princep structure together makes it delightful. Stalls and eateries around. You can also go for a shikara or a ferry ride from the ghat.

Take any bus towards Babughat to reach here. Then its a long walk to finally get to your destination. Nice, photogenic place right beside the river Hooghly. Boating available. Good for friends and family and for couples as well. Many food stalls are along the path. Two railway stations (Eden Gardens and Princep Ghatare right beside the walkway. Best to visit in the evening to see the beautiful lightings.

Princep Ghat is a pretty well maintained, beautiful site to see in Calcutta. Its one of the best this city has to offer, the sunsets here are the best thing on earth and this place has amazing food and good areas to take pictures,but with that being said, this is not a place you wanna go with family or any relatives. Youll find crowds making out in the open and hooking up. Its a public place, mind you. Thats what disgusts me about this place. Youll find it everywhere throughout the ghat, just random guys and girls trying to get it.P.S - If you are someone who does go there to makeout, PLEASE FIND A PRIVATE SPACE. I DONT WANNA SEE YOU TRYING TO TOUCH A GIRL INAPPROPRIATELY. STOP IT.

This place has the most mesmerizing view. And the best place to spend the evening hanging out with friends and family. They have the boat rides where you can ride and relax. This place has the cool breeze with hot chai...what more can someone want! 😌😌

Amazing evening views in James Prinsep ghat...... Everyone should visit in this place for enjoying these views..... This is really a beautiful place & its nature beauty is awesome. One can see the Hooghly river from this ghat which is so attractive..

A historical place beside holy Ganges and a beautiful sunset is sometime all we need for a break. Now its open. Photoshoots for pre-wedding is going on. The ghats are clean and the river bank is maintained very well. Washroom is also available there. If you wanna ride boats negotiate the value with them. Skip weekends to avoid crowds.

The place is beautiful and clean.Its right next to Princep station. Since we went during lockdown we could not explore enough but I still remember the view and its mesmerizing. Will share some more pictures when I visit the place again.

Good Place to spend time near river Ganga. The entire place can be kept more clean. A human driven boat ride under the new Bridge is the most adorable thing except the lovers spot.😊
