🧳 Top 15 Travel Hacks for Gangasagar with Family
1. ✅ Choose the Right Travel Dates
Avoid peak mela days (usually around Makar Sankranti) if traveling with seniors or toddlers. Weekdays or post-mela dates offer less crowd.

Skip the public ferry rush. Use Gangasagar Eco Tourism’s private boats and ferries for safety and comfort.

3. ✅ Pre-Book Private Vehicle
Use trusted providers like DreamSafar.com for car rental from Kolkata. They offer door-to-jetty pickup & drop.
4. ✅ Book Family-Friendly Accommodation
Stay at Sagar Suraksha Private Camps or Eco Tourism Guest Houses. These offer clean toilets, attached baths, and vegetarian meals.
5. ✅ Carry Quick-Dry Clothing
Holy dip + ocean breeze = wet, cold kids. Carry extra dry clothes and microfiber towels for everyone.

Useful while waiting at the ferry terminal or during long puja queues.

Even kids. Required at camps and ferry checkpoints.
12. ✅ Have Offline Maps Ready
Mobile network may be weak on the island. Download area maps beforehand.
