Good time in the evening, but all times crowded, all food available but fast food more. No parking facility. Shame on you bihar gov. Must try singer tea wala . Have a tea.

If you are searching for a picnic spot then absolutely patna marine drive is best choice. Because beach side of ganga river is very peaceful and calm with fresh air.

The 'marine drive' is part of the Ganga Path development project, which includes a 20.5km long four-lane expressway between Digha and Didarganj in PatnOn Friday (24 June), Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar inaugurated the first phase of the Ganga Path in Patna, giving the city its own 'Marine Drive'. The corridor, which connects Digha to Patna Medical College and Hospital (previously the Prince of Wales Medical College), has been compared to Mumbai's Marine Drive and London's Thames Path. The road has come up along the Ganga River on a 13m high dam. This stretch is part of the Ganga Path development project, which includes a 20.5km long four-lane expressway between Digha to Didarganj in Patna. In the second phase, the road will be extended by around 18km to Fatuha, an important industrial centre 24km east of Patna. "A part of the JP Ganga Path is now ready. It will be completed by the start of 2024 to provide facility to people... work is being done in a good manner... expansion is to be done on both sides," the Chief Minister was quoted as saying at the inauguration event on Friday. The project is being executed jointly by the Government of India's Housing and Urban Development Corporation and the Government of Bihar. The project cost is estimated to be Rs 3,160 crore. The project was conceptualised in 2010 and accepted by the government in 2011. The foundation stone for the project was laid by Chief Minister Kumar on 11 October 2013, on the birth anniversary of politician and activist Jayaprakash Narayan, popularly referred to as JP. "Work on Ganga Path had started in 2013, but it got stalled for a few years due to various reasons. We took a loan of Rs 2,000 crore from Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) in September last year, following which the work was expedited," Bihar's Road Construction Minister Nitin Nabin told media after the inauguration.

The recently inaugurated first phase of the JP Ganga Path has become the latest hangout for Patnaites, who throng on the driveway in large numbers every evening to click selfie with the picturesque background of the Ganga.Couples are seen spending quality time like people visit the marine drive in Mumbai. Vendors also bring food carts and tea stalls to cater to the needs of hundreds of people who visit there for river-view fun.

It's a beautiful drive way along the river. Connects Atal Path to JP Setu, AIIMS Elevated Road. It has exits at Gandi Maidan, PMCH and it's being expanded further. It's a famous picnic spot in Patna now for the locals. There are 100s of vendors lined up.

The place is good, but the people here in my town have no civic sense. You can also realise that once you get there. Improper parking, no idea of driving, and then blame everything on the govt. People don't even know how to put their garbage in dustbins, they throw it all around, but in this case they don't blame govt. Idiots.

The long stretch of road curves along the coastline, providing panoramic views of the Ganga The beautifully maintained promenade, lined with so many stolls offers an ideal spot for a simply sitting and enjoying the surroundings.
