About This Tour
The classic Gangasagar day trip by the Lot 8 vessel route, home by evening.
This same day Gangasagar tour package from Kolkata takes the Lot 8 (Harwood Point, Kakdwip) to Kachuberia route, the main river crossing that most pilgrims use. A private AC car picks you up in Kolkata before dawn, we buy the vessel tickets at Lot 8, and a car on Sagar Island drives you about 30 km from Kachuberia to the Kapil Muni Ashram and the Sangam.
The vessel crossing itself is short, about 3.5 km across the Muriganga, which many families find easier than a longer ferry ride. From the car park it is only about 200 metres to the Kapil Muni temple and about 700 metres to the bathing spot, and cycle vans and e-rickshaws are available for anyone who prefers not to walk. A pure veg lunch is included before the return journey.
Choose this tour if you want the holy dip and darshan in a single day and to be back in Kolkata by around 7 PM. Prices are per person and depend on your group size, from 2 to 12 people; pickup and drop are from South Kolkata, Howrah Station or Sealdah Station.
