Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, stands as a vibrant testament to its rich history and cultural diversity. Formerly known as Calcutta, it served as the capital of British India from 1772 to 1911, drawing people from all corners of the country.
Kolkata offers many experiences, from Mother Durga’s sincere worship to the delectable sweetness of rasgullas. Many travellers opt for a one-day trip by car from Kolkata to Gangasagar to explore the unique beaches in the area.
In the past, reaching Gangasagar required a boat journey from Kolkata. However, with our one-day tour, you can swiftly reach Gangasagar and immerse yourself in its enchanting ambience. The journey to Gangasagar offers picturesque views, with charming huts lining the route alongside serene ponds.
Witnessing hundreds of pilgrims taking a dip in the sea is a deeply moving experience, inspiring visitors to partake in the sacred ritual themselves. The holy dip is believed to cleanse individuals of their sins and grant them Moksha – liberation from the cycle of rebirth. Each year, during Makar Sankranti, pilgrims from across the nation converge at the Ganges River and the Bay of Bengal confluence to partake in this ritual and offer prayers at the Kapil Muni Temple.
Another noteworthy attraction is the Sagar Mela, a festival celebrated with great zeal. Whether visiting before or after the festival, embarking on a one-day trip from Kolkata to Gangasagar by private car promises a day of tranquillity and serenity.
