INDIA BEACONS SOJOURN has been awarded the  TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence  for the last three years   for their Sundarbans Tour. We have been  Rated No.1 on TripAdvisor  out of 89  Outdoor Activities from Kolkata

Read our Reviews on TripAdvisor

Sundarban day Tour  or the  Sundarbans One Day Tour  has been christened " SUNDARBANS TOUCH AND GO " by India Beacons Sojourn due to the hectic nature of the tour, which starts at 5:30 - 6:00 hrs in the morning and ends around 19:30 - 20:00 hrs depending upon tide and traffic conditions.

The Sundarbans One Day Tour would just give you a fair idea of the Sundarbans Mangrove forest, the Sundarbans Delta and the Sundarban National park in all its glory. In the sundarbans Day Tour, we would visit the TWO top attractions, ie the watch towers of Sajnekhali and Sudhanyakhali .

However, as a word of caution, due to the long journey time involved in this Sundarbans trip from Kolkata, one should try to avail this tour only when one is hard pressed for time.

We also modify and customize your Sundarbans Day Tour to suit the length of time you have in hand as well as keeping in mind the arrival and departure timings of your train or flight.

Sundarban Day Tour [ Very Easy To Booking ]

Can i visit sunderban a day.

Is it possible to travel through the Sundarbans in one day? The answer to this question is yes. To do a day tour of the Sundarbans, you must book the boat personally. And there will be no guests on this boat other than the people you bring. This means you have to do this day tour personally. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a short time and get a quiet rural environment where you can see the natural beauty of rivers and forests, then you must come for a day trip to the Sundarbans. And you should know that this is going to be the best trip of your life because only on this one-day trip to Sundarban will you get to see the beauty of nature through a boat trip along with the mysterious wild animals in the midst of nature. There is also the opportunity to enjoy delicious food, go sightseeing, and make your travel stories memorable forever. So why the delay? Backpacks ready, go out. And if you feel like a bit more time, you can check out our 1 night, 2 days , or 3 days, 2 nights tour packages .

Is it possible to cover all the routes of Sundarbans in one day?

Is it possible to travel all routes in the Sundarbans in one day? The answer is no. There are many routes in the Sundarbans on which you can complete three routes: Sajnekhali Forest, Sudhanya Khali Forest, and Dobanki Forest. All these routes are in the inner part of the Sundarbans jungle, where there is a chance to see animals; the rest depends on your luck. And if you want to complete all these routes in one day, you have to start this trip early in the morning.

What is the cost of the day tour?

If you come on our sharing tour, then it will be Rs. 2000 per head, and if you book a private boat by yourself, meaning there will be no other customers on that boat, then you have to talk to the travel agent and book the tour.

Is it possible to see animals on a 1-day tour?

Yes, it is possible on the Sundarbans 1-day tour, and we can reach those places in the jungle where there is a chance to see the animals. The rest depends on your luck.

Sundarbans 1 Day Tour Itinerary 

From Canning, by auto, to Sonakhali Launch Ghat; from there, by boat, to Gosba Island Here we have to see Rabindranath Tagore’s bungalow house and Hamilton Sahib’s bungalow house, then again we will go by boat to Sojnekhali Watch Tower (Crocodile Project), Sudhanya Khali Watch Tower, Pirkhali Forest, and Gazikhali Forest, then we will come back.

Tour Facility

All meals are as per taste. A car will be provided from Canning or Kolkata, a boat for the Sundarban jungle tour, government permission, and a government guide who will inform us about the Sundarbans.

Banned during travel?

Don’t drink alcohol, don’t carry plastic, don’t play music, and keep silent.

Our Mission

• Delicious vegetarian or non-vegetarian foods as per customer’s choice
• Knowledgeable travel guides so that we don’t miss out on anything
• Proper security of tourists. Don’t worry, we will not take any risk. We promise your safety

Is 1 day enough for Sundarban?

In answer to this we will tell you that no, because it is not possible to see everything well in 1 day trip.  It is a very fast paced journey where not everything can be properly explained.

Do government permits are required for 1-day trips?

Yes, it is mandatory. You have to pay the full entry fee whether you go inside more or less of the Sundarbans jungle. And this entry fee is Rs 200 per head for Indians and Rs 350 for foreigners.

Sundarbans National Park: A Complete Guide

Things to Do

Watchtower sightings, organized tours, where to camp, where to stay nearby, how to get there, accessibility, tips for your visit, sundarban national park (west bengal).

Sundarbans National Park—a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is best known for its magnificent tangle of mangrove trees, encompassing the largest mangrove forest in the world. The park spans 10,000 square kilometers (3,861 square miles) at the mouth of the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers, which separates the countries of India and Bangladesh and borders the Bay of Bengal. Approximately 35 percent of the park lies in India, and the remainder is located in Bangladesh. On the Indian side, 102 islands are located within Sundarbans, and just over half of them are inhabited.

The word "sundarban" means "beautiful forest" in the local Bengali dialect. This swampy forest provides a home to a rare breed of Royal Bengal Tigers know to be strong swimmers. Long stretches of nylon net fencing have been installed on forest boundaries to prevent the tigers from venturing into the villages, as it's the only place in the world where tigers still hunt humans for food. Don't go expecting to see one though, as the native tigers usually remain hidden within the park's tiger reserve, a core zone where commercial and tourist activities are prohibited. Along the outskirts, in the Sajnekhali Wildlife Sanctuary, however, visitors can expect sightings of various reptiles, monkeys, wild boar, rare birds, and deer.

The real enjoyment of visiting Sundarbans National Park comes from appreciating its pristine, natural beauty. Sadly, some people are disappointed by their visit, usually because they go with high expectations of spotting tigers. Wildlife spotting is hampered by the fact that you cannot explore the national park on foot or by vehicle. There are no jeep safaris and boats cannot touch down anywhere along the river banks inside the national park.

Instead, take time to wander through enchanted villages, discover the local way of life, and take part in cultural performances. You can even sample honey collected by local villagers in the Sundarbans region.

Tourists can also visit the game watchtowers, the most popular of which—due to their proximity—are Sajnekhali, Sudhanyakhali, and Dobanki. Or, spend the day cruising the waterways by boat on a wager-guided safari, in search of monkeys, crocodiles, water monitor lizards, wild boar, otter, spotted deer, and birds.

Watchtowers located throughout the park provide a way for visitors to safely view wildlife. Three easily accessible towers offer DIY, hassle-free nature viewing for independent travelers. Sajnekhali is a favorite watchtower of birdwatchers, Sudhanyakhali offers you a decent chance of seeing tigers and spotted deer, and Dobanki has a 20-foot-high enclosed canopy for panoramic views of the park and its wildlife.

Other remote watchtowers require a full day of travel by boat to get to, but the reward for the journey is a pristine natural experience, free of crowds. Burir Dabri watchtower is located on the Raimangal River. It's notably picturesque and has a canopy walk over the mangroves that leads to a viewpoint. The ruins of a 400-year-old temple can be found at Netidhopani watchtower. Visitor numbers are limited here and special permits are required. Bonnie Camp is the highest watchtower in Sundarbans, at 50 feet tall. This scenic watchtower takes about six hours to reach from Sajnekhali, yet a rest house provides an overnight stay. Jhingekhali is located on the easternmost fringe of Sundarbans National Park and is often overlooked for its extreme remoteness. Still, this watchtower offers you the best chance of seeing a tiger, as well as several species of rare birds.

There are various ways to go about visiting Sundarbans National Park, and for those who find independent travel to be logistically complicated, an organized tour provides a good option. Organized tours offer a predefined itinerary, including day tours, overnight tours, or multiple-day tours, with accommodations included. Guided tours typically include safari-style boat trips on the waterways to visit watchtowers and villages. And, most tours originate from Kolkata and drop you back off in the same location.

Before embarking on an organized tour, keep in mind a few considerations, like flexibility and privacy. Boat trips organized by hotels and tour operators will usually book a full group of people. Depending on the group's demographics, this could mean a noisy and boisterous experience that spoils the serenity of your visit. Additionally, the bigger boats are not suitable for the narrow waterways, where you're more likely to spot the park's wildlife. If this is a concern, it may be best to make independent arrangements and hire a private guide.

Due to the wildness of this national park, primitive camping is not permitted on the grounds and many of the regional "jungle camps" do not offer tented options either. The one exception is Sunderban Tiger Camp , an eco-resort that offers glamping in canvas-covered huts. Each hut is 261 square feet and can accommodate up to four people on twin beds with Wellness Health Rest mattresses. Each hut has a western-style toilet, cold showers, and a hot water geyser option. Purified water, free Wi-Fi, and a wake-up service are complimentary with your stay.

Given the ecological sensitivity of the Sundarbans area, most accommodations are simple, rather than luxurious, with an eco-friendly focus and a village feel. Power is limited (many hotels run on either solar or electricity produced by a generator), and the bathwater is not always hot. You can also book a houseboat for a completely different experience.

• United 21 Resort-Sunderban : United 21 offers 18 deluxe, standard, or triple-bedded rooms set in a serene jungle atmosphere. All rooms come complete with air conditioning and modern amenities. An on-site restaurant provides a sampling of several Indian cuisines and jungle safaris can be organized upon request.
• Sunderban Mangrove Retreat : Located in the Jamespore village on Satjalia island, this serene eco-friendly stay sits on the bank of the river. Choose from one of four air-conditioned executive rooms, eight air-conditioned, double-bedded cottages, or ten non-air-conditioned huts. This pristine property has four on-site ponds for fishing, and the restaurant provides local cuisine, including a catch of the day like crabs, prawns, and a wide variety of fish. The Mangrove Retreat also has two motor-driven boats that you can book for a wildlife water cruise.
• Sundarban Houseboat : Book a one-night, two-night, or three-night stay, complete with a tour, on a Sundarban houseboat. Rooms on the boat come complete with air-conditioning, LED televisions, attached bathrooms, and freshly-cooked, exotic meals. Multi-day tours include island hopping and visiting remote villages, cruising the mangrove forest, and stopping at the watchtowers.

Sundarbans National Park can only be accessed by boat, as the main entrance is on Sajnekhali Island, where all entry fees are paid. It's located about 100 kilometers (62 miles) southeast of Kolkata in the state of West Bengal , where Netaji Subhash International Airport at Dumdum is situated.

Unfortunately, independent travel to the park is quite laborious. It's best to go either by boat, car, or bus, as the train—a local train that does not take reservations—may be very crowded. You can drive from Kolkata to Godkhali, Sonakhali, Namkhana, Canning, Raidighi, and Najat. Once you arrive, take a ferry or hire a boat to Sajnekhali.

Public buses depart hourly (starting at 6.30 a.m.) from Kolkata to Sonakhali on a three-hour ride. From Sonakhali, take an auto-rickshaw to Godhkali, the gateway village to Sundarbans, and then another boat to Sajnekhali.

Because Sundarbans National Park is remote in nature and surrounded by water, handicapped individuals must book an outfitter who offers special services that cater to their needs. One such option is Rudra Nature’s Sprout Boat. Nature's Sprout offers packages for "differently-abled" individuals that journey only to accessible destinations, while catering to the medical needs of its travelers. They also provide doctors and emergency equipment, should something go array.

• Foreigners need a permit and a valid passport to enter Sundarbans National Park. A permit can be obtained from the forest department at Sajnekhali or at the West Bengal Tourism Office in Kolkata. If you travel with a tour company, they will make these arrangements for you.
• There's a boat entry fee for all park zones, and it's compulsory to hire one guide per boat.
• Pack warm clothes if you're visiting from November to February, as the weather is cool and dry.
• During the summer (March through June) expect hot and humid weather, and July through September brings rains along with the monsoon season.
• All plastic is banned in this region, although this rule has been difficult to enforce. Leave plastic water bottles and bags at home, and don't litter.
• Make sure to carry plenty of cash, as there are no ATMs in the park.
• Watchtowers are enclosed by fences and are often full of loud, boisterous tourists.
• Most people spend at least one night at Sundarbans. By staying longer, however, you'll be able to visit more areas, walk or cycle around the villages, go bird watching, and see cultural performances.

Sundarbans National Park : How To Plan Your Trip

Sundarbans, literally meaning the ‘beautiful forests’, lives up to its name and reputation by all means.  Mangroves  are arguably among the most beautiful forests with typical salt-water resistant trees growing inside water making for quite a fascinating sight. Visiting Sundarbans in January 2023 was a wonderful experience, but it was not that easy to plan. Though it’s not really difficult to visit, I found not much information on how to plan for the best experience. So, I decided to help fellow travellers by writing this piece on Sundarbans National Park : How to plan your trip.

{Check out similar tips on more such popular national parks here: 

“ A guide to the Great Himalayan National Park ” | “ Why Kaziranga and Rhinos are so important “}

Why Sundarbans National Park is so important?

Sundarbans  derives its name from its dominant plant-  Sundari  (in local Bengali language), a mangrove species- Heritiera fomes .  Sundarbans National Park is world’s largest estuarine mangrove eco-system, and also the largest delta formed by three rivers- the Ganges and Brahmaputra (both flow through India and Bangladesh), and Meghna (Bangladesh). The rivers divide into hundreds of streams and crisscross each other to form hundreds of islands before meeting the Bay of Bengal. 

Sundarbans: some facts

Of the total area of 10,000 sq. kms of Sundarbans National Park, roughly 35% is in India, and 65% is in Bangladesh. There are 102 islands on Indian side of which 54 are inhabited (more than 5 million people residing) and 48 are reserved only for wildlife.    

Apart from providing livelihoods to millions of people, the Sundarbans also protects them from severe cyclonic storms that origin in the Bay of Bengal every year. The importance of Sundarbans National Park can be gauged from the various statuses it has received over the years:

• Sundarbans Tiger Reserve : 1973
• Sundarbans Wildlife Sanctuary: 1977
• Sundarbans National Park: 1984
• Sundarbans UNESCO World Heritage Site :1987
• World Network of Biosphere Reserve: 1989
• Ramsar Site : 2019

Flora and Fauna of Sundarbans National Park

Apart from the dominant Heritiera species of mangroves there are a few others like Avicennia and Xylocarpus, etc.  They form the mangrove forests that the Royal Bengal Tigers call home, and live in harmony with the large fearful salt-water crocodiles as neighbors. Apart from these two, other endangered species include the Olive Ridley turtles, Hawksbill turtles and Ganges river dolphins. Other important fauna species include spotted deer, monkeys, wild boars, snakes, lizards, and scores of bird species.  

Man eaters of Sundarbans:

There are less than 500 Royal Bengal Tigers in their flame like skin coat still roaming the forests of Sundarbans of which Indian side has around 100. Unlike anywhere else, t hese majestic animals seek out human beings for food! Strange that it sounds, it’s actually true (watch an interesting  video ). For centuries, people living in the Sundarbans National Park area fall prey to the second largest tiger species (after Siberian tigers) in the world. No other animal attacks human beings for food. Tigers elsewhere don’t attack humans either; they are quite shy of, and even scared of humans. But not the ones in Sundarbans! 

Why? There are a number of theories on this. Here is an article I found interesting: “ 10 Reasons Why Most Sundarbans Tigers Are Man-eaters “.

Sundarbans National Park : Beyond the tigers

While meandering around in the Sundarbans National Park, I got a call from my mom. She asked me- “why are you visiting Sundarbans”? I told her nonchalantly that we were looking for the tigers! She couldn’t really understand why we would take all the pains to visit Sundarbans to see a tiger! We could easily do that in a zoo, she retorted. It got me thinking none-the-less. 

Were we really there to see a tiger? Not really. Tiger was the last thing on my mind when I first thought of visiting Sundarbans. All I was thinking of was the fascinating mangrove forests. In any case,  the chance of sighting a tiger is negligible (a s in case of any other tiger forest) . Tiger or no-tiger, Sundarbans is a charming place to explore and experience with love.

People and culture of the Sundarbans:

Close to the date of travel, I thought of experiencing the local culture, or at least, the local life. But I didn’t know how. All the vlogs on YouTube show that the tour agencies arrange for some cultural programs in the resorts. But somehow none of the visuals of those shows impressed me much.  So, instead of booking a guided tour package (by bus) from Kolkata, we preferred to directly reach Canning, the nearest railway station to the Sundarbans National Park, and explore ourselves.

Luckily, however, it just happened inadvertently that we got a chance of experiencing the local life. In the following paragraphs, I’ll tell you how, so that you can plan accordingly.

Sundarbans National Park is still unadulterated by the poisons of modern life. One can walk around pollution-free, peaceful sleepy villages, interact with its innocent humble people and observe their easy going lives. In itself this would be a surreal experience. 

Our two-day trip to the Sundarbans

We had previous experience of visiting similar mangrove forests in  Odisha  – Bhitarkanika and Gahirmatha mangrove forests and sanctuaries. But Sundarbans is much larger and has global reputation. So, our excitement was understandable.  After spending a day in the city of joy, we headed for the Sundarbans National Park.

Day-1: Canning- Gadkhali- Gosaba- Pakhiralay

Not an ideal beginning

We had thought of starting early in the morning from Kolkata. But Parina was not feeling well in the morning, so we started late- about 10.30 AM from Sealdah station. The local train took about 1.30 hours to reach Canning, the nearest station to Sundarbans National Park; so, it was 12 PM when we arrived there. 

There are quite a few tour operators just outside the Canning station offering various types of packages starting from 2N/3D to 5N/6D itineraries. But we had only 1N/2D, of which we had already lost half a day! The bigger problem was that all the motor-boats that onboard the tourists from a nearby jetty- Sonakhali had left for the day!

After quite a lot of persuation, a helpful tour operator did set up our trip. He suggested dropping us at a resort in Pakhiralay directly by late afternoon. And we would join the rest of the tourists the next day for a boat-ride around the national park. It might seem like a lost day, but it was not.

Blessing in disguise:

They took us by an auto-rickshaw to the next nearby jetty at Gadkhali, some 30 kms away from Canning. At Gadkhali, we crossed the first river (Bidyadhari) on our way by a boat that the locals use for their regular commuting. On the other side of the river was Gosaba, a village with a market place. A boy from the tour operator met us at Gosaba jetty, and took us by a small taxi to Pakhiralay.

If we would have taken a boat-ride from Sonakhali to Pakhiralay on the first day, it would have been the same experience as of the second day that we were going to have. Instead, we reached Pakhiralay in the afternoon, and checked in at the allotted resort.  Since we had a lot of time on our hands in the afternoon till evening, we decided to explore the local village by foot. It proved to be an amazing experience, a blessing in disguise.

If we knew that Hamilton bungalow is situated on the same island (Gosaba), we would have definitely visited, but somehow, it went amiss.

Our resort- Sanjog:

One cannot really call it a resort, but people call all the guesthouses and hotels in Sundarbans National Park area as resorts. This one we stayed in is a new property that has come up during the pandemic. It’s not luxurious, but definitely comfortable and spacious. There were two double beds in the room; most of the rooms in the resort are designed this way. Maybe the idea is to accommodate a family of 3-4 in one room. That’s not a bad idea!

A walk around Pakhiralay village:

Pakhiralay, a quaint village by the beautiful Datta river was the best thing that happened to us on this Sundarbans trip. With more than 900 families, and nearly 5000 population, it’s not really a small village, but a poor one. Majority of the households belong to the Schedule Castes. They live in very modest thatched houses. However, they definitely looked to be the happiest people- very content with their lives and resources.

I got a feeling of going back in time, like 20-30 years! Because of its remoteness and inaccessibility , the islands in the Sundarbans National Park remain long back in the past. One can imagine how life was everywhere else decades ago just by observing how people live here today. The raw charm of a village life is so close to my heart! None of them exists elsewhere now-a-days.

Life and livelihoods:

Our walk around the village gave a good insight into how the people lived there, and what their livelihoods are. Their predominant occupation is subsistence agriculture, and that too mainly paddy, a non-cash crop. Livestock like cows and hens are their insurance against a bad day. Most of them depend on the forests for honey and firewood. They also catch fish from the rivers and waterbodies around them for their daily requirement of protein. Besides, every household has a small pond in front of it where they get some fish for their meal, and water for domestic purposes. 

However, drinking water is a major concern for people there because the ground water is saline (being close to the sea). Water water everywhere, but can’t drink a sip! In recent times, the government has provided some community tap water facilities for the villagers, but they are typically irregular. Moreover, they have to fetch water from these taps far from their houses manually over their shoulders/ heads.  

Impact of tourism on life and environment in Sundarbans:

In recent times, increasing tourism has added another source of livelihoods for the locals. Scores of small resorts/ guesthouses have come up catering to the needs of tourists. However, these properties mostly belong to rich businessmen from Kolkata. Local people do get opportunities to work at these properties for meagre salaries though. Additionally, some people work with the tour operators in the motor-boats carrying the tourists. 

On the flip side, hundreds of motor-boats wandering through the forests of Sundarbans National Park generate tons of carbon dioxide everyday! In the long run, they add up significantly. Presence of large number of tourists also means a threat to the natural fauna and flora of the region.

Though global warming has bigger macro level contributing factors, there is no doubt that increasing tourism in the forests also contributes to this concern. 

It’s a typical developmental catch-22 situation. While o n one hand  tourism helps livelihoods of local poor households, on the other hand it contributes to the problem of global warming.

Impact of Global Warming and Climate Change:

We met an elderly man on our walk. He told us that he used to work as an agricultural labourer in a sugarcane field in Uttar Pradesh in his younger days. But now he works as a care-taker at a small resort on the bank of the river. He also shared with us, in his own way, his concerns about global warming and land inundation in Sundarbans National Park area. He showed us parts of the resort where he works which is now submerged in the river (see picture below). Every few years the river widens a bit more and consumes scores of houses. Quite scary for people living in the Sundarbans!

According to a study conducted by Jadavpur University, sea levels are increasing 3.14 mm every year. Two islands have submerged already, and another one is in imminent danger. Life and livelihoods of millions of people are at stake. Government needs to take action immediately, and on a massive scale.

Saraswati Puja in the village:

I knew beforehand that Saraswati Puja (worshipping of Goddess Saraswati) is an important festival in West Bengal; but didn’t know how much. It was a pleasant sight to see Saraswati pandals every here and there in the villages of Sundarbans National Park. Saraswati idols are kept for puja in these pandals for 3-4 days. The real surprise was to see how everyone in the village- from kids to elderlies get involved in a big way. They play games through the day together, and have a community feast in the evening.

In Pakhiralay, we saw groups of men and women playing interesting games in paddy fields. There was an an anchor commentating on the proceedings on mic. Middle aged women played a game where they filled up water bottles by running with palmful of water from a bucket kept 20 meters away. Elderly men played a game of passing on a cap to each other’s head like in the game of musical chairs. And children were enjoying watching their parents in action!

In Odisha (where I grew up), though Saraswati Puja is observed, it’s not this elaborate- mostly limited to schools and colleges.

Day-2: Sajnekhali- Dobanki- 'Five Rivers Meeting Point'

Second day of our trip began with a knock on the door early in the morning, actually too early for us, before sunrise. At the door was a boy selling fresh palm nectar. Parina was especially interested in tasting the sweet nectar extracted from the palm trees. We had one small glass each; it tasted like a sweet fruit juice only, and was refreshing. This nectar becomes alcoholic after sunrise, and is popular among locals as toddy or tady. We couldn’t sleep much afterwards. The morning tea arrived in a bit. And by 7 AM, we were ready for the day.

We followed other tourists, actually our boat-mates to the jetty. It was quite a scene at the jetty with 4-5 motor-boats onboarding tourists. We boarded our boat with much excitement for the day.

Sajnekhali wildlife sanctuary: 

Our first stop was Sajnekhali wildlife sanctuary, less than 30 minutes away across the Datta river. The Forest Department has created a small watch tower and a mangrove interpretation center for tourists. The watch tower offers lovely view of the forests from the top. However, the interpretation center is not that great. One gets to spend about 20-30 minutes there, and then back to the boat.   

Sudhanyakhali:

Once back in the boat, they served us breakfast: puri- chhole- gulab jamun, the most popular breakfast option in Bengal. Less than an hour’s boat-ride took us to our second destination- Sudhanyakhali forest camp. There is another small watch tower; but the main attraction is the variety of mangrove species on display with information. After spending another half an hour at the camp, we were back in the boat.

Dobanki camp:

From Sudhanyakhali to Dobanki forest camp, it was a long ride in the meandering rivers through the mangrove forests. Having lunch on the boat with views of the mangroves was a nice experience. After nearly 4 hours of boat ride, we reached the Dobanki forest camp. On the way, we sighted some spotted deer. Just before reaching there, we had our first major animal sighting- a crocodile sunbathing on the mudflats of the river. 

They have created a long safe pathway (closed on both sides) for the tourists to walk across the camp. We could spot a few spotted deer while walking through the camp. That was it! 

Five-rivers meeting point: 

In less than an hour from Dobanki, we reached the Five-rivers meeting point (or, Panchmukhani in local language): three major rivers- Bidyadhari, Matla and Datta,  and two minor rivers- Chadabida and Hedokhanga. Honestly, I’m not sure of the names though! Just a few miles away, the rivers meet with the Bay of Bengal. It’s a huge expanse of water. From the boat itself, one can’t really see the rivers meeting each other; can just imagine their paths from the horizon. 

Watching the sunset beyond the five-rivers meeting point was perhaps the high point of the day. From there, it was a 2-hour boat ride back to Pakhiralay jetty. 

Animal sighting:

Through the day, we could sight only one major animal- two crocodiles, and of course some minor animals- a few spotted deer, a monitor lizard, some monkeys, and that’s it! On the mudflats of the river, it was interesting to observe the mudskippers, a variety of amphibious fish that can remain over land, and walk over land for considerable period of time. They are the link piece in the evolutionary transition of animals from water to land. 

However, as I said earlier, Sundarbans National Park (like any other forest) is not all about tigers, or wild animals. There are more to explore, and that’s what we did.

Making some new friends:

Like always, it was great to meet new people on the trip. When you spend long days and evenings together, you tend to know your travel mates to some extent, and build a bit of camaraderie. Some of them helped us with tips on exploring Kolkata in a better way on our way back. All of them in our boat were from West Bengal, though some of them live outside of Bengal. Very sweet people to know and exchange some life stories.

Back to Kolkata:

Once back at Pakhiralay, we collected our luggage from the resort quickly and rushed to the main market to catch a vehicle to Gosaba from where we would cross the river to Gadkhali. The same boy who dropped us at the resort the previous day was waiting for us, but there was no vehicle. We could only see the flat-seated motor-rickshaws. He told us that we have to take one of those to the jetty, some 10 kms away! It was a difficult ride for Parina because of her cervical issues, but she managed somehow. 

When we reached Gosaba jetty, it was pitch black, but the boats were still operating. We took one to cross over to Gadkhali side where an auto-rickshaw was waiting for us. Another one hour, and we were at Canning again. Fortunately, one local train was about to start, and we boarded. 

By the time we reached Kolkata at about 10 PM after the long hectic day, Parina was already unwell. She vomited on the road itself, and I followed suit late in the night. Parina remained unwell the next day, and took rest in the hotel room. But I felt well next morning, and explored Kolkata thoroughly.

How to plan your trip to Sundarbans National Park

About sundarbans tourist area:.

Sundarbans National Park is spread across a large area, though only about a fourth of that is open for tourists. The main tourist area starts from Canning. Most of the tourists start either at Sonakhali (18 kms from Canning) or at Gadkhali (30 kms from Canning). This depends on the plans and packages on offer from the tour operators. However, most of the tour operators have tie up with resorts in the islands of Gosaba, Bali and Satjelia. These islands are just on the fringe of the Sundarbans mangrove forests area. 

Pakhiralay is one of the most important village in Gosaba island (block) that serves as a base location for venturing into the mangrove forests. It’s just across the Sajnekhali wildlife sanctuary.

Sundarbans Tiger Reserve is a subset of the larger Sundarbans National Park. The Tiger Reserve has three main zones: the buffer zone, the sanctuary zone and the core zone. Tourists can go only into the  buffer zone. One doesn’t need to worry about these things because all the boat owners know about this, and know the routes.

How many days?

One can choose whatever number of days one wants or have on hand. The most popular plans are 2N/3D packages. But I think 1N/2D is a good enough plan. However, a lot of tour operators don’t offer 1N/2D plans for commercial reasons. A 2N/3D plans look like:

• Day-1: Sonakhali- Gosaba- Pakhiralay
• Day-2: Pakhiralay- Sajnekhali- Dobanki- Five Rivers Meeting Point- Pakhiralay
• Day-3: Pakhiralay- Jharkhali- Sonakhali/ Gadkhali 

How to plan:

• Easy way is to choose a package of your choice from the tour operators in Kolkata or Canning, wherever you choose to start from. And join them as per plan.
• Best way is to plan yourself. Reach Gadkhali by taking a local train to Canning, and from there by auto-rickshaw. Cross over from Gadkhali to Gosaba by a local ferry. Spend the day exploring Gosaba island- Hamilton bungalow, Rabindranath bungalow and village life. Book a resort in Pakhiralay (10 kms from Gosaba) to stay the night. Book a day-trip boat-ride in the forests for the next day (or more). This way, you have one day to explore the rural life and culture on your own, and one full day to explore the forests.
• More than one day in the boat moving around the forests: I felt it is a bit too much. There is not much to see in the forest camps like Sajnekhali, Sudhanyakhali or Dabanki.
• If you are desirous of having the experience of spending a night on the boat in the river, you can choose such a package.

Other travel tips

Best time to visit:.

• October to March are the best time, especially the winter months of December-January.
• Summer months of April to June are too hot and humid to enjoy
• Monsoon months bring heavy rains; so, it’s not safe to visit

Best time of the day for animal sighting:

The Forest department allow tourists from morning to evening; no one can stay back after the sunset. Animal sighting is better during low tide because the mudflats open up, and animals can be easily seen on the river banks. Typically, high tides happen in the night (due to moon) and continue till late in the morning. Then low tides continue till the evening. So, best times to see animals are late afternoon and early evening. 

How to reach:

• Train: Canning is the nearest railway station to enter Sundarbans National Park. Local trains operate between Kolkata and Canning regularly through the day.
• Bus: Regular buses operate from Esplanade (Kolkata) to Canning and Sonakhali
• Car/ Taxi: Canning is about 65 kms and Sonakhali is around 80 kms from Kolkata; so, taking a taxi or driving your own car is not much of a difficulty
• If you have booked a package from a tour operator in Kolkata; you can just go to their pick-up point, and that’s it. 

Where to stay:

• If you have chosen a tour package, you have no choice; they will offer you a resort in one of the nearest islands to enter the forests.
• Or, you may choose to spend the night on the boat itself; check out the packages on line
• If you are managing your trip yourself, you should book a resort in Gosaba island, most appropriately in Pakhiralay village. 

Where to eat:

• Tour operators offer good food on-board and at the resorts
• If you are on your own, there are small restaurants/ hotels in Canning, Gadkhali and Gosaba offering local food. Not much option though.

How to move around:

• To move around the islands, one will find small auto-rickshaws, e-rickshaws, flat-seated motor-rickshaws
• For venturing into the mangrove forests, of course, boats are the only way. It’s cost effective to join the shared boats. However, if you want more freedom and explore smaller channels, it’s better to hire small boats; they will be a little costlier though.

Things to carry:

• It’s a good idea to carry some mosquito repellant, especially in spring-summer season (avoid monsoon in any case)
• Electricity supply can be erratic at times; so, a torch will be helpful 
• Wear light sports shoes; cover your feet all the time since you may come across harmful insects and snakes while walking in the evening
• Keep your cap/hat and sunglasses all the time with you; the sun is too strong in the afternoon even in the winters
• Wear light cotton outfit, especially in the spring-summer season; humidity levels would be really high
• Keeping chocolates and light snacks is a good idea since there are not many good shops out there
• Carry some cash all the time; difficult to find ATMs there.

Concluding note

Sundarbans National Park is definitely among the top 5 National Parks in India, and one of my favorites. We didn’t expect, and didn’t sight a tiger, still we were happy. However, the local infrastructure and tour packages need a lot of improvement. The tour operators don’t provide good guides who can interact with the tourists. The local resort owners can make the experience far better by designing the resorts with local ethos. They should also offer rural/ cultural experiences to visitors as part of the packages.

Planning your own trip is the best thing to do

Till the time things improve, one can plan on their own, and have the best experience. Hopefully, this article helps one to some extent.  To summarize:

• Sundarbans National Park is mainly about mangroves, river cruises and tigers
• However, observing local life and culture can be equally enriching an experience
• Look for a tour package that offers cultural experience in the package, or else, plan yourself for the best experience; it’s not at all difficult
• Walk around the villages and interact with local people learning their perspective on life, livelihoods, forests, wildlife and tourism.

Thank you! Waiting for the next trip 🙂

Beautifully captured Sunderban in words and pics

Thanks Rupali 🙂 Have you been to Sundarbans? It’s such an amazing place!

Soumen Chatterjee

Thanks for lovely information.As it states Sundarbans National Park is world’s largest estuarine mangrove eco-system, and also the largest delta formed by three rivers- the Ganges and Brahmaputra (both flow through India and Bangladesh), and Meghna (Bangladesh). The rivers divide into hundreds of streams and crisscross each other to form hundreds of islands before meeting the Bay of Bengal. Pakhiralay, a quaint village by the beautiful Datta river was the best thing that happened to us on this Sundarbans trip. With more than 900 families, and nearly 5000 population, it’s not really a small village, but a poor one. Majority of the households belong to the Schedule Castes. More over a lot of local NGOs are working in and around the villages. The drinking water is a great concern for the villages as it’s close to the sea so during flood the most of the villages gets submurged in the water.Though tourism has impacted the lives of people but it also cause environmental issues as many boats hover round and emits harmful carbon dioxide. 2nd was Sajnekhali- Dobanki- ‘Five Rivers Meeting Point’. I think u must have tasted palm tree nector juice in Bengali we say Khejur gacher ros but if u keep it for hours under sun then it gets fermented and becomes alcohol which is called ” Tari”. Sudhanyakhali forest was awome , so do Sajnekhali wildlife sanctuary.Dobanki forest camp must have been a nice experience. Five-rivers meeting point (or, Panchmukhani in local language): three major rivers- Bidyadhari, Matla and Datta, and two minor rivers- Chadabida and Hedokhanga. Next was ,Sundarbans Tiger Reserve is a subset of the larger Sundarbans National Park. The Tiger Reserve has three main zones: the buffer zone, the sanctuary zone and the core zone. Tourists can go only into the buffer zone. Righty said Sudarban is more than seeing animals and most people visit to see the great Royal Bengal Tiger which is very different to find or get a sight. But now and then people staying in the villages get attacked by tigers when they go in the forest to get woods or collect nector from the bee hives. I think in the boat you must have got to eat a lot of Bengali cuisine specially variety of fish. Overall it’s a fantastic blog.

Hey Soumen! There again! Thanks for reading, and leaving a feedback.

Ryan Biddulph

Seeing those trees growing inside of the water always fascinated me when I watched nature shows about the Sundarbans as a kid in the States. Also, seeing tigers stalking folks, and the genius people who designed masks that flashed eyes and a face on the back of their heads. Eyes always on the tiger even when walking away. Smart!

Hi Ryan! Good to know that you learnt about the Sundarbans in your childhood. Yeah, it’s such a fascinating place! Would love to know more about you. Will check your website. Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Sarita Rout

We live so near to the national park, and yet have not visited till now. Reading this, now inspired to visit soon.

Oh yes, you must visit Sundarbans; plan the coming winter.

Very informative blog. It makes me want to visit Sundarbans one day.

So glad to know that the blog was helpful. Thanks for your feedback. Please keep connected. Cheers!

Sundarban One-day trip

Visiting sundarban in a day.

Is it possible to tour the giant delta of Sundarban in a day?  The answer to this question is yes. You must reserve the boat yourself for a day trip to the Sundarbans. And this boat will only have the folks you invite as guests. This implies you must go on this day excursion yourself. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a short period of time and experience the natural beauty of rivers and forests, a day excursion to the Sundarbans is a must. In this one-day boat journey, you will experience the finest vacation amidst nature surrounded by mysterious wild animals. There’s also the chance to eat wonderful meals, go sightseeing, and make your vacation memories unforgettable. So, what’s the hold-up? Prepare your backpacks and leave.

Dibyanshu Singh

We booked One night two day package via Sundarban Eco Tourism. Trip was well organised. Hotel stay, boat everything was perfect. thanks to Mowgli for making it perfect getaway. Mowgli and his team was very friendly and helpful throughout the tour. I highly recommend him.

Aditi Gupta

I had a 1 night/2day tour for Sundarban from Kolkata. The tour was awesome. Excellent hospitality, food, journey and all facilities even in remote location. Local fork dance made all of us dance. Could see wild boar, monitor lizard, whistling birds, white duck, kingfisher bird. The ride on boat was very mesmerising and close to nature. Manager Keith was very helpful, calm and supporting in every manner.

Visited the Sunderbans for a college excursion and oh my lord it was beautiful! Especially the launch ride on the Vidyadhari! Our tour guide Keith was such a great company! Only had an issue with the water supply in the hotel. The food served was sumptuous; never have i expected that level of delicacy there! In a word the entire experience was ethereal!

Sudipto Banerjee

We had a 3 days and 2 nights trip with Eco tourism and it was a very good experience overall.The stay was good,food was homely and descent.Though we were not lucky to spot the Royal Bengal tiger but the tour manager Keith made sure that we enjoyed the rest of the wildlife of Sundarban.The rest of the staff were well behaved and made every effort to make our stay comfortable and tour fun.

It was beautiful for small mind freshener. We have taken two days and one night trip. Lunch, evening snacks and diner are awesome in hotel, in boat foods are also good but some jungle foods like honey crabs and wild fishes are may be subjected to early request. They provide inova for transportation which is a great deal in that budget trip. Overall enjoyed every second... Specifically the guide Mr. Keith is a fantastic guy for entire trip.

It was my 2nd tym experience and this time it was good the property was okay food was good and the service was brilliant specially the manager out there Mr KeiTh , experienced the thrill of JuNGle with SunderBan Eco Tourism , The co-operation was good enough and about animal just got to see some Crocodiles, Birds, Turtle's but do try ur luck for Bengal Tigers.

Saurav Naik

It was a really a great weekend. People around are helpful and I'm sure a group of friends will have lots of fun. The price is reasonable and you'll be utmost satisfied. The sunset is really beautiful. One of the best holidays and experience I have ever had. Manager Keith is super chill and helpful. He made sure the trip would be a memorable one.

Well arranged, all inclusive tour at a very affordable rate. Mr Keith was a good and friendly host and made sure everyone was comfortable . Simple, local yet delicious meals , local folk performance , decent accommodation to add to it . Over-all a good trip which i would recommend to people looking for tours to Sunderbans.

Verify if your trip package includes a stay at a five-star hotel.

Tour packages to Sundarban are typically operated from Kolkata. Before reserving a trip from Kolkata to Sundarban, make sure to research the necessary transit time. You’ll need to determine both the route and your personal threshold for crossing it.

Your travel package must include accommodations in the Sundarban region, whether you’re flying in from another state or driving in from West Bengal. The finest choice would be a high-end resort with all the conveniences of a major city. Before you commit to a Sundarban package, it’s a good idea to see what hotel you’ll be staying at.

Examine the schedules

Let’s say you’ve committed to a one day excursion. Here’s a list of possible routes you might use to plot out your vacation. See if you will get to visit any of the area’s well-known landmarks during your trip.

You will also be able to visit sanctuaries for various animals and plants, such as tiger, crocodile, turtle, and bird reserves. Here, you should ask your tour guide if they plan on taking you to all of the Mangrove Forest’s highlights. Verify the Sundarbans cruise itinerary.

Verify the availability of healthy snacks

It’s impossible to have fun on an adventurous vacation without high-quality meals at each meal. Thus, if you’re thinking about booking a trip with a Sundarban package offer, you should ask your travel agent ahead of time whether or not he can guarantee that you and your family will have access to nutritious meals during your trip. Because a stomachache can lead you into problems in the woods, it’s preferable to consume freshly cooked foods made with fresh kitchen components.

Be sure to have a look at the conveniences.

In spite of being on a safari to see exotic animals, city slickers must stick to their same routines. Find out from your travel agent if amenities like free Wi-Fi, a hot breakfast, a wake-up call, a clean, comfortable accommodation, a pool filled with soft water, a supply of mineral water to drink, etc. will be provided. Most resorts in this part of Sundarban provide guests with local water for drinking, bathing, and other non-industrial uses. Sundarban Tiger Roar Resort is one of the few five-star hotels in the world that provide visitors with free, unrestricted soft water for use in the resort’s water purification system.

Obtaining a local guide is possible.

Having a native guide’s expertise and guidance is crucial on a Sundarban excursion. When booking your vacation to the Sundarbans, make sure to ask your travel agent if they have arrangements with a local tour operator.

Having some background in the area will allow you to see more of the true vibrancy and colour of the area. Taking in the protected forest from atop one of the many watchtowers is not the only goal of a well-planned visit to the Sundarbans. It also involves learning about the local religions, mythologies, deities, folk melodies, and arts and crafts.

Visit the Sundarbans for one day

Let’s say you want to plan a trip from Kolkata to Sundarban so you can see the forest up close. In such scenario, you can’t pass up the opportunity to learn from the locals who have firsthand knowledge of the Mangrove Forest by not exploring its surrounding community.

Village visits are a highlight of some of the most unique Sundarban Tours. In this section, you will find fisherman who have actually encountered the tiger or other strange woodland animals. You’ll get perspective on the daily challenges and threats that some communities face just to stay alive.

Spend money on keepsakes

One of the highlights of a trip to the Sundarbans is the opportunity to pick up some unique mementos. Honey and organic brown rice are both available for purchase here.

Authentic regional wares can be purchased at a steal. If you need assistance locating a useful facility, your guide should be able to assist you.

See what other tours cost before you commit.

It’s no secret that the Sundarbans have become a hotspot for ecotourists and animal lovers from all over the world. Sundarban vacation packages abound for a few obvious reasons. Make sure you do your research on prices and included amenities of various packages before committing to a vacation.

Finally, to sum up:

Never choose cheapness over efficiency. Don’t forget to check all the elements listed below while comparing Sundarban Tour packages in order to evaluate the quality and safety of the tour prior to booking and availing.

Sundarban Package Tour: Why Book With Nijhoom Tours

This page lists our 3-8 days Sundarban package tours. Unlike the traditional cheap picnic parties in Sundarban with a 40-70 people boat, ours are entirely wildlife tours on a small houseboat. Spotting as much wildlife as possible is our primary focus. We take our clients to places deep inside Sundarban where there will be higher chances to spot wildlife, including the Bengal tigers.

We use small boats with shallow drafts to go to small channels where bigger boats can not go, so we can see more wildlife. For starting from the edge of the Sundarbans, we reach the forest within 15 minutes of starting the tour instead of spending a half day on the river to reach the forest on the first and last days.

Unlike others, we use silent wooden rowing boats without engines to explore the small creeks and channels so we do not scare off the animals. For that reason, you see more wildlife on our silent boat trips on the channels in the magical early mornings and evenings, which are the highlights of our tours. The safety of our clients is always our priority. Unlike everyone else, we always use life jackets on the channels during boat rides to protect our clients.

We strictly maintain food hygiene on our boat on the Sundarban package tours, about which very few people here have any idea. So unlike others, foreigners getting sick from food poisoning is rare on our boat. Although we use a basic boat, we keep it clean and provide clean bed sheets, pillowcases, towels, and comfortable beds and pillows. We do not drive our boat at night, so our clients do not have to spend sleepless nights because of the engine noise.

We provide knowledgeable guides on our tours, who will be able to tell you about the wildlife and the forest . Unlike others, we have numerous positive reviews of our Sundarban package tours on TripAdvisor from our past clients who’ve had a great experience of the forest with us.

Last but not least, we have a great cook who will prepare some delicious authentic local dishes for you from his tiny kitchen during your three days stay on the boat, which you’ll hardly find in any restaurant. Vegetarian or vegan meals are also not an issue on our boat. Getting fat from the food on our boat is the biggest complaint we get on our Sundarban package tours. You’ll have a pleasant and memorable experience of the forest with us!

• Unlike others, we use silent wooden rowing boats without engines to explore the small creeks and channels so we do not scare off the animals.
• The safety of our clients is always our priority. Unlike everyone else, we always use life vests on the channels during boat rides to protect our clients.
• We strictly maintain food hygiene on our boat, about which very few people in Bangladesh have any idea. So unlike others, foreigners getting sick from food is rare on our boat.
• Although we use a basic boat, we keep it clean and provide clean bed sheets, pillowcases, towels, and comfortable beds and pillows .
• We provide knowledgeable guides on our tours, who will be able to tell you about the wildlife and the forest.
• Unlike others, we have numerous positive reviews of our Sundarbans Tours on TripAdvisor from our past clients who've had a great experience of the forest with us.
