OVERVIEW
About Digha & Mandarmani
Digha and Mandarmani are the classic weekend escape from Kolkata — close enough to reach by mid-morning, easy enough that you don't need a detailed plan. Digha's promenade suits families; Mandarmani's drive-in beach suits a slower couple of days.
Most trips combine a night in each, with time set aside for the seafood and the Marine Aquarium in between.
