M.V. Santijan at dusk
Home/Sampan River Cruise Café

The sunset cruise on the Bhagirathi

Every evening M.V. Santijan leaves Hazarduari jetty for an hour on the river as the sun goes down behind Lalbagh. A Bengali food platter, tea, and folk musicians on board. The only scheduled daily cruise in Murshidabad, run by Jalchhabi.

An hour that guests remember most.

Board at the jetty below Hazarduari Palace as the light softens. The boat heads upstream past the ghats and the palace façade, turns, and drifts back with the sun setting over the far bank. On board: a platter from Taranga's kitchen, tea, and a baul singer most evenings.

Open to resort guests and visitors. Private charters for groups, birthdays and wedding parties on request — the boat seats [CAPACITY].
