DIAMOND HARBOUR

Diamond Harbour is situated on the banks if the Hoogly River. Earlier known as Hajipur, the city was named Diamond Harbour by the British. It used to be considered a safe resting spot for oceangoing ships, after the Rupnarayan River joins the Hooghly River, the river bends south and widens out to a form a huge expanse of water. A little further down, the Haldi River joins it. In earlier days Diamond Harbour was a stronghold of Portuguese pirates. The ruins of the fort of Chingrikhali (locally known as Purano Kella) can still be seen. There is an old lighthouse nearby too.

The Ffort

The Raichak fort continues to be one of the most beautiful forts in all of India, especially after its restoration a few years back. The fort, was originally built back in the colonial rule for keeping a watch over River Hooghly. For many years post-independence, the fort was left ignored and was in shambles. Later, Radisson group of hotels overtook it and converted it into a hotel. Now known as The F Fort, Raichak Fort, though heavily commercialized, will still manage to enthral you with its earthen charm and old world demeanour. Built in Anglo Indian architecture with traces of British and French styles, the fort is definitely right on top of the small list of Raichak tourist Spot.
