It is just 183 kilometers (114 miles) from Kolkata/Howrah through Mecheda and 234 kilometers (145 miles) from Kharagpur, and this proximity has likely aided this small hamlet in establishing itself as a weekend retreat with a variety of hotels and tourist lodges. A motorway and a rail link connect Digha to Kolkata/Howrah through Tamluk. Many trains now travel between Digha and Howarh and other stations in eastern India, including the Howrah-Digha Super AC express, Tamralipta express, Kandari express, and EMU locals from Santragacchi through Mecheda and Tamluk. It's also part of the Contai Subdivision.
In Digha, there are primarily five seasons: summer, monsoon, autumn, winter, and spring. Summer begins in April and lasts until June. The monsoon hits in July and lasts up to September.
