## 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.
