Gadiara is about 70 km south-west of Kolkata, reachable by road or a combination of train and ferry. By road, the most direct route takes around two hours depending on traffic through Howrah and Uluberia. By public transport, take a train from Howrah to Mecheda or Uluberia, then a local bus or auto-rickshaw to the river ghat. A shared ferry also runs from Uluberia across the Hooghly.
Most visitors come as a day trip from Kolkata; there is no significant accommodation in Gadiara itself.
