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.

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! =)

Prinsep Ghats (Bengali: প্রিন্সেপ ঘাট) is a ghat built in 1841 during the British Raj, along the Kolkata bank of the Hooghly River in India. The Palladian porch in the memory of the eminent Anglo-Indian scholar and antiquary James Prinsep was designed by W. Fitzgerald and constructed in 1843. Located between the Water Gate and the St George's Gate of the Fort William, the monument to Prinsep is rich in Greek and Gothic inlays. It was restored by the state's public works department in November 2001 and has since been well-maintained. In its initial years, all royal British entourages used the Prinsep Ghat jetty for embarkation and disembarkation. Prinsep Ghat is one of the oldest recreational spots of Kolkata. People visit it in the evenings on weekends to go boating on the river, stroll along the bank and purchase food from stalls there. One stall selling ice-cream and fast food has been there for more than 40 years. A 2-kilometre (1.2 mi) stretch of the beautified riverfront from Princep Ghat to Babughat (Baje Kadamtala Ghat) was inaugurated on 24 May 2012. It has illuminated and landscaped gardens and pathways, fountains, and renovated ghats.
