Begin your pilgrimage early in the morning from Kolkata. Travel to Harwood Point (Lot No. 8) by car or bus, then take the ferry across the Muriganga River to Kachuberia. From there, continue your journey by local transport to Gangasagar. On arrival, check into a guesthouse or ashram. Visit the revered Kapil Muni Temple, and spend time exploring the holy confluence of the Ganga and Bay of Bengal. Enjoy a peaceful evening by the sea, soaking in the spiritual atmosphere. Overnight stay at Gangasagar.

Day 02 Holy Rituals and Coastal Exploration

Wake up before sunrise for a sacred dip at the Sagar Sangam, believed to cleanse sins and grant moksha. Join other devotees in early morning rituals and visit the ashrams and sadhu camps that are active throughout the year, especially vibrant during the Gangasagar Mela. After breakfast, take time to explore the local culture, interact with pilgrims, or simply relax on the serene beach. In the evening, participate in local devotional activities or attend aarti if available. Overnight stay in Gangasagar.
