Key highlights of Kolkata Gangasagar Tour Package:
On your arrival at Kolkata Airport, an Alkof Holidays representative will warmly greet you and transfer you to your hotel. After freshening up, head out for a half-day exploration of Kolkata's notable landmarks. Start with the Howrah Bridge, an engineering marvel spanning the Hooghly River. Opened in 1943, this cantilever bridge is a vital transport link and a bustling hub of activity, showcasing the city's vibrant daily life. Next, visit the Victoria Memorial, a stunning white-marble monument dedicated to Queen Victoria. This grand structure, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, houses a museum with exhibits on Kolkata's colonial history and artifacts from the British era. (Note: The Victoria Memorial is closed on Mondays and national holidays.) Return to your hotel for an overnight stay.
After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, set out for a full-day excursion to Gangasagar, a significant pilgrimage site located at the confluence of the River Ganges and the Bay of Bengal. Travel by road to Ferry Ghat/Harwood Point, approximately 90 km from Kolkata. From there, board a ferry to reach Gangasagar Island. Known for its spiritual significance, Gangasagar is revered by Hindus for its sacred Kapil Muni Ashram, where it is believed that the sage Kapil Muni meditated. The ashram and its surroundings hold deep religious importance, attracting devotees who come to perform rituals and offer prayers. After a spiritually enriching visit, return to Kolkata by ferry in the afternoon. Overnight stay at the hotel in Kolkata.
After breakfast at the hotel, check out and embark on a final sightseeing tour of Kolkata. Begin by visiting Belur Math, the serene headquarters of the Ramakrishna Order, founded by Swami Vivekananda. This peaceful complex, located on the banks of the Hooghly River, features stunning architecture that blends Hindu, Christian, and Islamic styles. Next, explore the Kalighat Kali Temple, one of the city's most famous and sacred temples dedicated to the goddess Kali, offering a vibrant glimpse into Kolkata’s religious life. Finally, visit the historic Dakshineswar Kali Temple, renowned for its beautiful design and its association with the mystic Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. After the tour, our representative will transfer you to Kolkata Airport for your onward journey.

We had to alter our plans and extended the tour for 2 more days. From second day we started our sightseeing of Delhi, next day visited Agra, then Fatehpur Sikri and then Jaipur.
