Digha, a four hour drive from Kolkata is the neatest weekend getaway as far as I am concerned. Till date I have lost count the many times we have been there, And each has been a new experience, be it culinary or anything else.Digha during the monsoon takes your breath away... A typical day at Digha might be getting up early and going for a walk or a bath in the sea... or getting up late having delicious kochuri and aloor torkari and then going to the beach,lazing with a beer or going for a dip. A sumptuous lunch there again You are spoilt for choice. Once we had made to order giant crabs and lobsters...yummy.. all at a throwaway price.Afternoon are lazy and sleepy because of the sun. Then again in the evening You can just sit on the beach and have endless cups of lebu cha, jhal muri and listen to the endless sound of waves. not or go shopping. Digha can be a shoppers paradise for pearls, bags,costume jewelry,quirky slippers and a lot of other things . But you should know what you are looking for. People seeking solitude, there are a few places in old Digha, New Digha is more vibrant. And if you want to be alone absolutely there's Shankarpur.The last time we stayed at a resort called Palm Resort which was a bit far from the sea but it had a pool so we all had our dips there.And we did go for a sea dip but only one day. The resort was pretty good situated in the midst of paddy fields...
