If you do not mind acting touristy in your own city than the scenic boat ride from Princep Ghat on one of the old-fashioned boats reveal a side of the city that cannot be witnessed from land. It is one thing to drive around the city and witness iconic landmarks such as the Howrah Bridge and quite another to drift along the river during the golden hours and absorb the celestial sight of the lit-up Vidyasagar Setu towering above. The ride takes you up close to the magnanimous Howrah Bridge from where you can view the wonder clearly. A private boat ride can cost you anything between INR 250 – INR 400 for a maximum of four people.
