Bally Bridge

Reviewed By Coastal820768 - North 24 Parganas District, India

Nice and a good place for morning walks along with the cool wind of the Ganges flowing below it. Also this bridge is very very important because it helps in shortening the route from Howrah station to Kolkata airport which is a very long journey. But now, passengers can go easily to airport by first going to Bally station and then going directly to the airport in a short period of time. Thanks to this bridge. Not only this but also, the very famous Dakhinashwar temple is also very close to it. Lots of devotees come here for the 'darshan' of Goddess Kali.
