MoreIt 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!
MoreNice 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.
MoreReally 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.
MoreA 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.

MoreVery 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
MoreAmazing 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.
MoreGreat 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.

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.
MorePrincep 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.
MoreThis 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! 😌😌
MoreAmazing 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..
MoreA 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.
MoreThe 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.
