Distance, Route & Travel Time from Kolkata
Most travellers start from Kolkata and reach the Sundarban gateway zones via road, then continue by boat into the delta channels. Total one-way travel time typically ranges from 3 to 4 hours, depending on traffic, river conditions, and jetty schedules.
Typical Route (Road + River)
🚗 Kolkata to Canning / Godkhali (road transfer)
🛥️ Jetty to Mangrove Channels (motor boat cruise)
Your actual route may vary by tide cycle and forest permits. The day tour is planned to ensure you spend meaningful time on the river rather than losing time to random stops.
