A hired car is the most comfortable way to reach the Lot 8 jetty from Kolkata, especially for families and senior citizens.
Route and time
The usual route is via Diamond Harbour to Kakdwip and Lot 8 (Harwood Point), roughly 100 km and about three hours depending on traffic. After the ferry crossing, local transport takes you to the temple and beach.
What to confirm when booking
