The easiest way to reach Belur Math is with a combination of road, water and rail mode of travel. You can reach the ferry station near Eden Gardens by either traveling in a taxi or one of the city buses. The ferry to Howrah railway station takes about 10 minutes for which they charge 4 Rupees. Please note that you need to take ticket before taking the ferry and return it at the exit.

From the Howrah station there a lot of local trains which take you to the Belur railway Station. From the station you can either walk of take a cycle rickshaw to reach Belur Math.

Plan your trip in such a way that you spend about 2 hours at Belur Math preferably in the evening. This will include a visit to the museum, spending time in meditation, and witnessing the evening arathi at Belur Math which is a treat to the eyes.

People have suggested that taxi or bus is also a good mode of commuting from the Howrah Station but I found the train journey to be less chaotic.

From belur you can take another ferry to cross the Hoogly to reach Dakshineswar. Dakshineswar also has a railway station with trains to Sealdah and Dum Dum.

Please note that the ferry service closes at 8:00 pm.
