Courtesy Sourav, everyone knows that Dada (Short form 'Da') in bengali means elder brother. But have you heard about the acronym
DiPuDa. No, you will not get that in any dictionary. This is common among travel freak Bengali's. Digha, Puri and Darjeeling (acronymed as DiPuDa) are 3 famous and most visited destination among any bengalis for a short break. Digha being the most nearest beach is always an attraction. Due to rush of the mass, it always remains crowded. Loners and peace lovers started searching for other serene beaches nearby.
Tajpur, around 170 kms from Kolkata and about 13 kms from Digha is a serene beach with its unspoiled beauty of nature. This is also the land of red crabs. With few beach huts offering fresh sea food, Tajpur Beach does not have much for the fancy tourists.

There are few resorts near to the beach like Sabuj Saikat, Tajpur Beach Resort, Palm Village Resort, Blue Lagoon, Tajpur Nature Camp etc. I stayed in Sabuj Saikat and would recommend this. Nice and peaceful atmosphere with funky LED lighting during the night. They will offer you a food package 500 Rs (Inclusive of Lunch, Evening snacks, Dinner and Breakfast) which will taste as if it is a home cooked food. Evening snacks of Chicken Pakoda and French Fries with Tea in a wonderful lit garden was just awesome and needed for a serene place like Tajpur.
If you are willing to visit this place, it is preferable to bring your own vehicle as this is far from the highway and communication to this place would be difficult in case you want to visit nearby beaches like Digha or Mandarmani.
Great shots..I had been to Tajpur last monsoon..really they've made it a nicer option over Digha....
ReplyDeleteDigha is so over-crowded nowadays ..the weekend destination of half the population of Kolkata.
And yes..DiPuDa ...:-D bangali chhaRa onyoder bojha mushkil what does the acronym REALLY means and how it is deeply rooted with Bengalis... :-D
Though I am staying in Kolkata, but still Tajpur is untouched by me.Nice post with information of accommodation.Will it be good to go Tajpur in rainy season?
ReplyDeleteMay not be a good place during rainy season. Tajpur has nothing much to offer except for peaceful and hassle free stay. The sea might be rough so you might not be able to enjoy the beach and moreover the roads would be muddy.
DeleteMandarmoni is a small beach town that is located in the state of West Bengal. It is situated along the Southern regions of the state. The place is famous its long stretches of virgin beaches that are yet to be touched by tourism. The place is well known for its exquisite sunrises and sunsets and it is a good place to unwind away from the hectic life of the city. Tourist across the seas comes here to visit the amazing location and many travelers who prefer to stay at beach resort in Mandarmoni.
