A Love Letter to Nature—Wrapped in a Sundarban Tour Package

🌿 When the Forest Wrote Back

Some journeys don’t begin at airports or bus stands. They begin in the quiet ache of your heart—the ache to slow down, to listen, to belong to something eternal. For me, that longing took the shape of a Sundarban Tour Package, a gift I gave myself. And somewhere between the muddy mangrove creeks, the birdcalls, and the songs of boatmen, I realized it was more than a trip.

It was a love letter. Not one I wrote. One I received.

Nature had been waiting. And in the Sundarbans, she spoke gently, deeply, and without pause.


🌟 The Thought Before the Departure

🚍 When Life Feels Too Fast

It started like most getaways do—the need to escape. But it wasn’t the city I was escaping. It was my disconnection with the earth, with stillness, with meaning. A friend recommended Sonakshi Travels, describing their tours as “more soulful than commercial.” I was intrigued.

Their two options:

  • Sundarban Soul Escape (2 Nights/3 Days)
  • Sundarban Serenity Package (3 Nights/4 Days)

The second felt right. I didn’t want a weekend. I wanted an unfolding.


🚗 From Concrete Dreams to Tidal Realities

🌍 The Road from Kolkata to Godkhali

Our private AC car (included in the package) picked us up early from Kolkata. The city slowly melted behind us. Fields emerged. Cows blinked sleepily. Villagers cycled by. By the time we reached Godkhali Jetty, something inside me had already shifted.

🚣 The Boat That Rocked Me Awake

The boat was humble, wooden, strong. We sailed through thickening water lanes with no urgency. It was here that I saw my first kingfisher. And then a fishing cat. And then, silence that said everything.


🏨 Arrival at Nature’s Doorstep

🌿 A Stay Meant to Touch Your Soul

Our island resort, curated by Sonakshi Travels, was everything poetry would build:

  • Super Deluxe Forest-Facing Room
  • A sit-out where I watched squirrels and sunsets
  • Fresh, hot Bengali food cooked by locals
  • Power from solar lamps and dreams from fireflies

No Wi-Fi. Yet I felt more connected than I had in years.


🗳️ Day 1: Listening to the Mangroves

🌳 A Safari Beyond Sights

We sailed deep into the core zones:

  • Sajnekhali: for birds, the hush, and Bonobibi lore
  • Sudhanyakhali: tiger pugmarks and hopeful breath-holding
  • Dobanki: a canopy walk that left me gasping, not from height, but wonder

Our guide didn’t treat this like a checklist. He recited tales. Of gods, beasts, tides, and trust. The jungle responded with rustles and ripples.


🌟 Evening of Rhythm and Rain

🎶 Baul Songs and Distant Thunder

That night, under a sliver of moon, a Baul singer arrived. His voice was not trained for stages. It was trained for skies.

He sang:
“Ei baner buke shanti ache, shobdo ache, prem ache…”
(“In the chest of this forest lies peace, sound, and love…”)

We cried. We clapped. And the forest clapped back with a distant hoot.


🌾 Day 2: Life at the Edge

🧳 Meeting the Guardians of the Mangroves

A village walk. Not curated, not rushed. We met a family who collected honey during safe seasons. Their child showed me a crab tied gently with jute. A grandmother blessed us near a Bonobibi shrine.

Their life is not easy. But it is rich.

🍽️ Food Cooked with Reverence

Back at the resort, lunch was served:

  • Shorshe Ilish (Hilsa in mustard)
  • Steamed Gobindobhog rice
  • Begun Bhaja (Fried Eggplant)
  • Aam-Tomato Chutney

Every bite reminded me that real flavor comes from care.


🌇 Final Day: The River’s Goodbye

🌊 When Stillness Becomes a Story

I spent my final morning just sitting by the jetty. Watching. Remembering.

Children bathing in river arms. A tiger tale whispered again. A heron cutting across the dawn.

We returned to Godkhali by noon. But the silence had followed me. It still hasn’t left.
