YOU CAN ALSO BOOK YOUR GANGASAGAR YATRA PLAN WITH Gangasagar Eco TOURISIM 7550910009
I will go straight into the answer because I saw no correct route is mentioned on the internet. There are many parallel ways through which you can reach Ganga Sagar. The main thing is that you have to reach as early as possible to Kolkata. We arrived at 4 am, the best time to start the journey. KNOW FROM Gangasagar Eco TOURISM
The place to visit: The Sagar Beach, Kamil Muni Temple, The Sagar Lighthouse, Bharat Seva Ashram, Onkarnath Temple. As all the places are in a 500m radius. Just reach the temple then walk to each.
I can give you Short and Long Advice.
Short Advice::
Reach any of the ports, either Kakdwip (By Taxi) or Namkhana (Train: Namkhana Local, Bus from Esplanade, or Taxi). Reach any port before 9 AM, it takes 3 to 4Hr from Kolkata. Take the ferry from there. After reaching Island take a Taxi or Tempo or Bus to Temple. Temple is on the seashore. Take any transport mode back to any port. From there to any mainland port.
Long Advice::
For this, I have divided the trip into parts, so it will be easy to understand.
Part A :: Reach Kolkata by any means of travel.
Part B :: Kolkata to Nearest Main Land Port.
Route B1 (Kolkata to Kakdwip):
From any point in Kolkata take a TAXI to Kakdwip (100KM->4Hr). The taxi will charge 3500rs for Sedan and 4800 for 7-9 seater. If you want AC then they will add 1500-2000 extra. But I suggest you go by a simple taxi. Duration= 4Hr.
Route B2 (Kolkata to Namkhana):
From Sealdah station take Namkhana local which is the cheapest way to reach Namkhana. Duration= 3Hr, Cost= 50 Rs.
Route B3 (Kolkata to Namkhana):
From Esplanade Bus Stand take any Govt. or Direct bus to Namkhana. Duration= 3Hr, Cost= 150 Rs.
Part C: Main Land Port to Ganga Sagar Island Port.

The ferry starts from there at 8:30 and then there is a ferry every 1 hour till 1 PM then one at 8 PM. Duration= 30min, Cost= 08 Rs.
Route C2 (Namkhana to Mayagoaliner Ghat):

Part D: Ganga Sagar Island Port to Temple.
Route D1 (Kachuberia Ghat to Temple):
The port is well connected to other areas of the island. The distance is 30Km, so it’s on you either take a Taxi for 1500 Rs for a round trip from the temple or Tempo for 700 Rs for a round trip or take Bus for 25 Rs.
