Frequently Asked Question & Answer

​What is the cost of a Sundarban tour package?

The cost depends on duration and comfort level. Budget group tours from Canning for 2 nights/3 days usually range between ₹3,000 and ₹4,500 per person. Standard packages departing from Kolkata typically cost ₹5,500 to ₹9,500. Premium and luxury tours with AC transport, quality resorts, or private boats range from ₹12,000 to ₹23,000+ per person. Most packages include meals, boat safaris, guides, and forest permits. Non-Indian visitors usually pay an additional ₹1,500 for english speaking guide & government forest permits.

What is the best time to visit Sunderbans?

Unlike most National parks, The Sundarbans National Park is open through out the year. But maximum tourist visit the Sundarbans National Park between September to March. During this time the weather is pleasant and crocodiles are seen basking in the river banks. October to March is the best to enjoy Sundarban tour package due to the pleasant climate. But during the summers the chances of sighting of animals are higher as they come near the artificial water bodies adjoining the watchtowers.

How to reach Sundarbans from Kolkata?

By Road- The most convinient way is to travel by road. Sundarban 100 kms from Kolkata and takes about 3 hours drive. So if you want to approach Sundarbans Via Godkhali you will be dropped there and take the a ferry & land route to Pakhirala. However if you want to go to Jharkhali you can directly reach there by driving your car.

By Train- From Kolkata take a train till Canning (1 Hours) from Sealdah Station In Kolkata, and then take road transport till Godhkhali (1 Hours). Alternately from Canning you can take Bus, Auto or shared Jeep transportation to Jharkhali where you will find accommodation. During daytime trains tend to get overcrowded and becomes very unpleasant for tourists.

Is Sundarbans worth visiting?

Yes, the Sundarbans is a must-visit UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest mangrove forest on Earth. Spotting a Royal Bengal Tiger is uncommon but the real excitement comes from sensing their presence in the mysterious Mangrove forests.  Beyond tigers, visitors may see saltwater crocodiles, spotted deer, and a wide variety of birds. Peaceful boat safaris, scenic canopy walks, and fascinating local folklore together create a tranquil yet thrilling experience that makes the Sundarbans truly unforgettable.

How many days are enough for Sundarban?

A 2-night/3-day trip is the ideal duration for the Sundarbans. This allows enough time to explore diverse channels, visit the Sajnekhali Tiger Project, and reach deeper watchtowers like Dobanki or Netidhopani.
A single night is often too rushed due to the long transit from Kolkata. Conversely, four days or more are usually reserved for dedicated birdwatchers or photographers. Most travelers find three days perfect to balance the thrill of the safari with the forest's tranquil rhythm.

Can I stay overnight in the Sundarban?

Yes, but only in designated buffer areas outside the core forest. Popular overnight options include eco-resorts and lodges in  islands like Pakhiralay, Dayapur and Jharkhali. Sundarbans offers lot of hotels and resorts and comes in variety of categories, 3 stars luxury stays as well as decent rustic riverside cottages offering basic amenities for comfortable stays.

Can we see tigers in Sundarban?

It's possible, but highly rare. While the Sundarbans houses a large tiger population, the dense mangroves and camouflage make sightings difficult. Most visitors see pawprints ("pugmarks") rather than the cats themselves. Success depends on patience, luck, and your guide's expertise.

What is the cost of rental boat in Sundarban?

The cost boat rental depends upon the capacity of the boat and season. A standard luxury boat will cost you Rs 6000/- per day. This includes only the boat rent. additional charges like cook for preparing food, gas for cooking, forest entry permits and guide charges, raw meterial for food charges are separately payable. ​
