Sundarban Tour Package

Not everyone has the luxury of a week-long escape. But the beauty of the Sundarban is this — even a single day here can feel timeless.

If your Kolkata trip is tight but your heart craves the wild, a Sundarban Tour from Kolkata in just one day offers you a poetic window into the mangrove kingdom.

The journey begins before the city even wakes.

📍 The Journey from Kolkata to Sundarban

Distance means little when the reward is magic.

  • Distance: ~70 km from Kolkata to the entry point (Godkhali Ferry Ghat)

  • Travel Time: Approx. 2.5 hours by car

  • Suggested Start: 5:00 AM — to make the most of your river day

From Kolkata’s honking streets, you’ll glide toward the peaceful rural landscapes, ending at Godkhali — where the road surrenders to the rivers, and your boat takes command.

⛴️ Your Boat — The Moving Balcony to the Mangroves

In the Sundarban, the boat is more than transportation — it’s your stage, your refuge, and your panoramic viewing deck.

Approximate Private Boat Cost:

  • ₹6,000 per day

  • Plus ~₹2,000 for permissions, a licensed guide, and BLC (Boat License Certificate)

Sample Budget for 4 Travelers:
₹6,000 (boat) + ₹2,000 (permits & guide) = ₹8,000 total
That’s just ₹2,000 per person — surprisingly economical for a private river adventure!

🥘 Dining on the Delta — Pack or Cook?

Meals here can be as simple or as soulful as you choose.

Option 1: Carry Dry Food

  • Budget-friendly

  • Ideal for small groups

  • Includes snacks, fruits, biscuits, bottled water

Option 2: Cook Onboard

  • Many boats have a basic kitchen

For larger groups, onboard cooking turns lunch into a cultural experience.

🗺️ What Can You See in One Day?

Even in a single day, the Sundarban offers a mosaic of landscapes and encounters.

Common Watchtower Stops:

  1. Sajnekhali Watch Tower — Gateway to the forest with a mangrove interpretation center

  2. Sudhanyakhali Watch Tower — Known for tiger sightings, birdwatching, and deer spotting
