Digha is a famous seaside town in the state of West Bengal. There are many trains from Kolkata and Howrah that connects Digha for the passengers. I had to travel recently to Digha for organising an event in the town. The best and fastest way to travel in this route is by train and hence I booked the tickets in the chair car AC of the train.
Booking Kolkata to Digha Train in AC Chair Car
There are many direct and connecting trains that are available from Kolkata. I used the IRCTC account to search for the tickets in the various trains. Tramlipta Express 12857 is one such train in which I got tickets easily for the date of travel. The tickets were available in the AC chair car of this Kolkata to Digha train. The timings of the train were also suitable to me and the train is also having good facilities and services.

Train Timings
Tis train departs from the Howrah railway station at 6.40 am and takes 3 and half hours to reach Digha. During the travel the train has many stoppages in between. I had booked comfortable and luxury AC seats that were fine for the travel on this route. The train do not have any pantry car attached to it however the stoppages in between allow passengers to buy coffee and tea from the sellers.
The train reached the station of Digha on time. I went towards the exit and looked for the cab that had to take me to the hotel. I had already booked a hotel for the stay in the town. There are many good budget and luxury hotels available in Digha as it is a holiday spot of the state. I used a travel portal app to book a decent 3 star hotel known as the Park Prime Residency.

I had booked one of the junior suites in the hotel for the stay. It is the best room in the hotel and had all kinds of amenities and luxuries. The room was centrally air conditioned and had a television, newspaper, some toiletries, in room menu, and 24 hour room services. I had ordered food from the in house restaurant and it tasted amazing. The hotel also arranges for the cab and other pick and drop facilities to take the tourists from the nearby places.
Overall it is a very good place for stay in the region. The hotel can be booked easily online and many discounts can also be used for the boking at reasonable and affordable rates.
