Important Note –

For Gangasagar one-day tours, we operate via LOT 8, Kakdwip. You can purchase a government vessel ticket for just Rs. 20 and safely reach Kachuberia. If you travel via Benubon, Namkhana, your travel time will increase significantly. Moreover, it is a very risky route, as it is located at the mouth of the Bay of Bengal, where the sea remains rough most of the time. There is a high possibility of boats capsizing, and many tourists fall sick during the journey. There are no government vessels operating on that route. Therefore, ensure your own safety and your family’s safety by choosing a secure and pleasant Gangasagar tour.

गंगासागर वन डे टूर के लिए हम लोग LOT 8, काकद्वीप के रास्ते से यात्रा कराते हैं। मात्र ₹20 का टिकट लेकर आप सरकारी जहाज (वेसल) से सुरक्षित रूप से कचुबेरिया पहुंच सकते हैं। यदि आप बेनुबोन, नामखाना के रास्ते से यात्रा करते हैं तो आपका समय काफी बढ़ जाएगा। यह रास्ता बहुत जोखिम भरा है क्योंकि यह सीधे बंगाल की खाड़ी के मुहाने पर स्थित है, जहाँ समुद्र अधिकांश समय उग्र रहता है। नाव पलटने का खतरा बना रहता है और कई पर्यटक यात्रा के दौरान बीमार भी हो जाते हैं। उस मार्ग पर कोई सरकारी वेसल भी उपलब्ध नहीं है। इसलिए अपनी और अपने परिवार की सुरक्षा के लिए सुरक्षित और सुंदर तरीके से गंगासागर यात्रा करें।
