Dhal Dighi, Gangarampur Town

Dhal Dighi, a vast lake dating back to the Pala dynasty, is situated within 1km of Gangarampur town. This ancient body of water stretches for approximately 1.5km 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.
