The Sundarbans, a UNESCO-recognised mangrove ecosystem formed by the Ganges–Brahmaputra delta, becomes even more captivating during festival seasons when riverside villages transform into colorful cultural hubs.
This tour blends boat safari experiences, watchtower visits, traditional fairs, folk music, and authentic Bengali cuisine into a structured 2 Nights / 3 Days or customizable itinerary from Kolkata.

Why Choose a Sundarban Festival Tour?
Festivals in the Sundarbans are deeply rooted in riverine culture, agrarian traditions, and local mythology.
Unlike regular wildlife trips, a Sundarban cultural tour allows travelers to witness:
Seasonal fairs and traditional boat processions
Folk performances and rural craft exhibitions
Temple visits including Bonbibi rituals
Regional cuisine festivals like the famous Hilsa celebrations
For food lovers, the Sundarban Hilsa Festival is a major highlight between July and September.
Major Festivals Covered in the Package
1. Sundarban Hilsa Festival (Monsoon Season)
Taste multiple variations of Bengal’s iconic ilish fish prepared by local chefs while cruising along mangrove waterways.
2. Durga Puja by the River
Celebrate Puja in a unique riverside setting where traditional worship meets delta landscapes.
3. Poush Mela & Winter Fairs
Experience rural handicrafts, folk music, and seasonal harvest celebrations during December.
4. Makar Sankranti Boat Carnival
Witness decorated country boats and community parades during January festivities.
Wildlife & Safari Experience During Festival Tour
Even during festival periods, the safari experience remains central. Your itinerary includes:
Guided boat safari through mangrove creeks
Sajnekhali Watchtower visit
Birdwatching during winter season

I travelled to Sunderban during 3rd to 5th December, 2021 along with my other 3 family members. In view of the threat of cyclone “Jawad” during that period, Sonakshi Travels... read more customised their programme for our convenience at their best. The boat waiting for us at Gadkhali was decent, neat & clean. The cooperation and helpful gesture of the Boatman Bapibabu and crew Pulak charmed us. The trip through the creeks and distributaries of the rivers of Sunderban became more enjoyable with the excellent taste of food cooked by Bhaskar in the running boat. The property named “Sabuj Dwip” under Lahiripur Gram Panchayat where we were parked at the day-end, was a resort having cottages with clean Rooms, modern Bathrooms & standard amenities including Generator along with a few shortfalls like lack of Geyser, AC, Toilet-shower, Kitchen/Kitchenet, Waste paper bin, Wall Hangers etc., though all such lacuna were covered by the sincere and hearty efforts of the servicemen. The owner may solve these minor problems by purchasing items of trivial value like Emersion Heater, Toilet-shower, Electric Cattle, Waste paper basket & Wall hangers. On 5th December, when the cyclone turned its face to Sunderban, the superb teamwork of Sonakshi rescued us through an alternative safe land-route maintaining our all urbane comfort upto the satisfaction. The courteous behaviour and delicious tasty food are the value-added satisfaction of this trip over the honest, humble and sincere approach of the owner Shuvabratababu which is highly appreciable. I highly recommend Sunderban Trip through this Travels.
