01Why Tajpur
Tajpur offers the same Bay of Bengal coastline as its busier neighbour Digha, with fewer crowds and a more relaxed pace. That makes it a favourite for budget travellers and families.
02Getting there
About 185 km from Kolkata. Take a train to Digha and continue by road, or drive via Kharagpur. Local transport connects Tajpur to Digha throughout the day.
03Stays and food
A growing number of resorts and homestays offer affordable beachside rooms. Meals are simple and local — Bengali coastal cooking at small restaurants.
04Budget planning
Transport and basic stays are inexpensive; premium resorts cost more. Carry cash — smaller shops and eateries may not accept cards.
Quick tips
- Weekdays are cheaper and quieter than weekends
- Combine Tajpur with Digha for a longer coastal trip
- Book homestays directly for the best rates
