Yes, there is an entry fee of rupees 25 for Indians and rupees 300 for foreigners at Adina Mosque and other ASI-protected sites.
Adina is generally safe during daylight hours. However, as a rural area, it is best to be cautious, especially after dark. Stick to well-trafficked areas and inform someone of your plans.
If you have limited time, you can skip the smaller, less significant ruins in Pandua if you have already seen Adina Mosque and the major sites in Gaur. Focus on the main attractions.
Bengali is the primary language. Hindi is also understood by many. Some English is spoken in hotels and by tourist-facing staff in Malda Town.
