Dhal Dighi, Gangarampur Town

Dhal Dighi, a vast lake dating back to the Pala dynasty, is situated within 1 km of Gangarampur town. This ancient body of water stretches for approximately 1.5 km in length. The name means ‘white lake,’ a reference to the colour of its water. On the northern bank stands the grave of Atash Fakir, a revered Muslim saint, marked by carved stone pillars and wall inscriptions of considerable age. In winter, migratory birds visit in large numbers, making this a fine spot for birdwatching.
