Gangasagar Beach marks the exact point where the Ganga, after its long journey from the Himalayas, merges into the Bay of Bengal. Pilgrims take a ritual dip here before walking to the Kapil Muni Temple, a sequence considered essential during the annual Gangasagar Mela around Makar Sankranti. Outside the mela, the wide silver sand stretch offers a quieter, contemplative visit with calm waves and open horizon views. Cycle vans run the short distance between the beach and the temple for visitors who prefer not to walk.
