If you are willing to visit an important pilgrimage site, simply opt for our Sundarban Tour Package at Naturecamp Travels and make the most out of your trip by visiting the Kapil Muni Temple.
Considered as one of the most important Hindu pilgrimage sites, the Kapil Muni Temple is a major attraction in our Sundarban Tour Package. It is regarded as the spot where the River Ganges wiped away the sins of King Bhagirath's ancestors. Located in Gangasagar, it is a calm and quiet place where the Ganges joins the Bay of Bengal. Whether you are an adventure lover or a pilgrim, the temple is a must-visit for every traveller.
Tourists and pilgrims from various parts of the world come here to take a holy dip at the confluence of the Bay of Bengal and Ganges during Makar Sankranti to offer prayers at the temple. Popularly known as the Gangasagar Mela, a huge fair is organised here during this time. Even the ashram and the small temple are illuminated with LED lights.
You can reach Gangasagar either by bus, rail or road. The total distance is approximately 135 km which can be covered within 5 hours from Kolkata.
