I loved the view. There are no entry fees for this ghat. It's 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.

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.

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👌🏻

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.

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. There's a station right outside the ghat so no problem for commute. Else there are cabs or local vehicles available outside. Enjoy!

Well maintained and preserved place for visiting and spending time.

View of Bridge and ghat is very good.

People can enjoy ferries and boat ride at nominal price.

Temple is also present on the way to ghat and is very good.

Beautiful place just by the river. There is no entry fees to this park its open till 11 pm. The view of the bridge from the ghat is breathtaking. You can go on boat rides which is just 100rs each. But the place remains very crowded and one can easily see couples making out
