How to Make Your Digha Trip on A Budget?

A budget trip to Old Digha - the most serene beach of the Digha coastline? Quite possible if you have researched well and made your booking wisely on an Old Digha hotel at low price!

Holidaying around a sea beach is one of the favourite things to do for many people during their free schedules or special days. If you are among them and someone staying in West Bengal, we know which beach attracts you the most for it. It’s the Old Digha beach for sure, the primary beach and the most tranquil part of Digha.  Unlike New Digha which is the hotspot for tourism and flooded with hotels and resorts, Old Digha is less crowded and spotted with many world-class accommodations at reasonable distances. 

If you are planning for a peaceful and enjoyable vacation at Old Digha but within your fixed budget, here are the keys to making it happen. 

#1 Getting around on Public Transport

While getting a private car reserved for your family to tour around Digha is easy, relying on local public transportation will help you save money! There are many convenient options to commute to beaches, hotels, shops, and other places. Rickshaws, electric rickshaws or Totos, and auto rickshaws are the common ones. While fair usually starts from INR 10 for these, you can even reserve them at a minimal fair of INR 100.

#2 Choose a Budget Stay  

There are many budget-friendly hotels in Old Digha offering great services. But, booking a hotel that is near the sea is recommended so that you don’t have to spend additional costs for commuting to the sea beach every time. Hotel Utopia is one of the top-rated Old Digha hotel at a low price that we can suggest to you. With favourable amenities like free Wi-Fi, AC accommodation, and exclusive dining, it offers an incredible stay experience to the guests. 

#3 Snacking at Local Shops

While there are many pocket-friendly outlets, cafeterias, and restaurants offering delicious items for snacks, it is better not to visit them if you are on a budget. Instead, try the authentic fish fries at the stalls near the beach and buy packaged items such as cashew nuts, almonds, pistachios, rice crispies, peanut candies, etc. at extremely cheap rates. Buying these items will not only let you experience the famous regional items but also boost the source of income of the locals.  

#4 Shop from Stalls near the Beach

We know travelling to any place means indulging in local shopping and bringing souvenirs for your close ones. There are many souvenir shops in the streets of Digha but stick to the local small shops and stalls near the beach if you are on a budget. Together the shops form a wholesome market by the beach, selling diverse items from artifacts of seashells, handcrafted bags, jewellery, toys, etc. to shawls, dresses, and home décors. While everything is available at reasonable prices, you even have the opportunity to bargain and get the best deals for your goods.
