Sonakshi Travels made the Sundarban trip comfortable and easier than expected. Very helpful and courteous staff members with on time service and super delicious food. The staff members took personal care of every group member as per the need, especially the elderly ones. I travelled with the parents and the staff members made the trip super comfortable for them as well. Thanks to each one of them!! 😊🙏 Would highly recommend Sonakshi Travels for the Sundarban trip.

Beautiful and Serene. Superb hassle free experience. We had to do nothing and all the arrangements were made by the operator and were on time. Very polite and friendly staff. Just one regret with the govt to allow more routes inside core jungle to increase footfall at Sunderbans. All you can see is Deer. However i would surely visit again.

Experience of Sundarban tour with Sonakshi Travel was a nice experience indeed. The driver, the tour manager and the support staffs were very friendly and cooperative. And also the other members of the group were also very social and supportive. Thanks for gifting a pleasant memory for a long time.

Total trip was very well arranged, exactly as per the mentioned itinerary. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The cottage was neat and clean and evening dance performance by the local people was truly a fun filled surprise.

I travelled with my cousin-brother’s family on 31st Dec to 2nd Jan 22. I got very good support from Sonakshi travel, we were 7 adult and 2 kid. The complete team, tour manager Subrata, boat captain Bapi da and our guide Tanmoy da was very cooperative and helpful. Our stay was in Sobuj Deep Resort, the location is next to the river and rooms are quite good in size, there 4 bedrooms can accommodate 2 families with one kid comfortably. The facilities and services of boat and resort was excellent. My objective was to spend some time with family in the nature, and a wild wish if we could spot the graceful royal Bengal tiger in the wild was 100% fulfilled. When I was researching for this tour, I found Sundarbans travel (Sonakshi travel) rated 4.5 among all, and I am not disappointed as well. Next time when I will visit Sundarbans again my choice will be Sundarbans travel. All over experience “The tour is mind blowing”.

I had travelled along with my 2 kids and my parents to Sundarban on 13th of nov. The tour was organised by Sundarban Travel. We had opted for 1N 2D package. Here are few points I would like to mention regarding the tour. PROS: 1) The tour organiser, Mr Talukdar gave us a very clear account of the package and there were no hidden cost. 2) We were appointed a manager ( Mr Subrata) during the tour, who was very polite in his dealings. Since I was travelling with my 4 yr old daughter, I had requested him to make few extra arrangements ( in meal) for her ….for which I never had to remind him again and all my requirements were taken care off. 3 ) since we were only 3 families travelling on one boat, we had enough space to ourselves as compared to other boats I saw during the trip were overly crowded. 4) Food was good and the preparation was quite homely. 5)As we had to spend considerable amount of time on the boat…. I was little apprehensive about the cleanliness of the washroom on the boat. But to my surprise, the washroom was sparkling clean. CONS: 1) Though the hotel we were made to stay was very well located… but the rooms were very basic. Rooms are newly made but not very well maintained. The floor of the rooms felt like they were not dusted and mopped in days.There were cobwebs here and there and bathroom had few centipedes. To my opinion..rooms could have been better than what was provided. Overall, it was a well organised trip and Mr Talukdar kept checking on us during the trip which I truly appreciate. We thoroughly enjoyed. And I would certainly recommend Sundarban Travel to my friends and family.

Myself and my family availed the experience of enjoying the Sunderban one day tour through Sonakshi Travel. It was a marvelous experience. The tour Manager and all the staffs on board were very cordial and co-operative. The food served was abundant and of good quality and taste. We didn't felt when the whole day passed away. Complete value for money. I would recommend everyone should have a try with Sonakshi Travels.
S DGMarch 17, 2022
It was an excellent experience with Sonakshi Travels. From every respect they managed our trip in a very well manner and during our trip, each and everyone from Sonakshi they did a fantastic job. Wish them all the very best.

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 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.
Snehansu GangopadhyayMarch 17, 2022
It is nice experience. Though this trip was for a group of thirteen people, but the other group cancelled their trip. But the tour operator took me and my wife for the tour. They provide us a car and launch for this trip. It was very organised trip.
Faiz AhmedMarch 17, 2022
We are fully satisfied .Your arrangement is so good that there is no point of dissatisfaction on the trip. The boys managed properly and well behaved.
Partha Sarathi MajumderFebruary 17, 2023
Traveled on 29th December 2022 with family. Wonderful experience. Recommend the overnight stay at 3 Star instead of cheaper accommodation. Food is home-cooked and awesome... INNOVA horn needs to be dismantled as the driver uses it impulsively :) Definitely recommended...

Awesome Suvabrata - Sonakshi ( Travels) This was our first ever domestic trip with a tour operator. We enjoyed a memorable holiday at the Sunderbans with family & friends from 10th to 12th of December, 2021 ( 2 nights 3 days package). I take pleasure in sharing my/ our experience with Mr Suvabrata ( Sonakshi Travels to us means Mr Suvabrata). # Mr Suvabrata, a perfect gentleman, with polite behaviour, understanding/ empathetic & extremely helpful nature. # Well organized & hastle free tour. # Polite & helpful staffs. # Punctuality is a batch.... whether it's transport, food, sight seeing, arrival or departure, everywhere time schedule was perfectly maintained. # Well designed itinerary & all places covered providing flexibility to the visitors. # Neat & clean car & boat. We were lucky to have a boat for ourselves. Hearty thanks to Mr Suvabrata for the unexpected surprise. # Place of stay was clean, beautiful & comfortable with all basic necessities including hot water. # Delicious food was served both veg & non-veg. # Pocket friendly package. No hidden charges or extra money demanded. Words will fall short to express my appreciation for MR SUVABRATA (SONAKSHI TRAVELS) & his TEAM.

Looking forward to join you for some other trip.

Could have earned a 5 star rating but small issues prevent Sonakshi from earning a perfect score. I shall give you 8.5 out of 10. My scoring: 1. Arrangements & tour confirmation 7/10. I paid advance for booking after checking the availability. But after making the payment, I was informed the required dates are not available and I had to change my dates. Communication of programs are also not up to the mark. 2. Transfer from Kolkata to Gadkhali & Return 8/10. Onward journey driver was new and not carrying proper documents for Vehicle. Stuck at Ghatakpukur for more than 30 minutes in a police checking. Return journey was better but the vehicle given was too old. 3. Boat Arrangements from Gadkhali 10/10. Good & comfortable. Well decorated boat with well behaved staffs. 4. Accommodation 10/10. Very good place selection and enjoyed the staying. This point you will get a bonus point. 5. Food 8/10. First day lunch was awesome but next meals were just below par. Lacking variety. I came to know few other agencies are offering more variants in their service. Finally thanks to all your staffs in the boat and in the hotel. Specially mentioning Tapas, Bapi, your cook and Subrata for their service.
Sibagi GhoshMarch 17, 2022
I travelled on 20th November from Ghatal along with 4 friends.Found the details of it from internet. It was an amazing experience. Properly sanitize boat and clean rooms. Behaviour of the stuff were very polite (Special mention- dipankar da).They did everything with professional manner with touch of heart. Strongly recommend them.

Sunderban Tours : A Serene and Mesmerizing Natural Habitat
Most people prefer visiting Sunderban tours with their friends and family to witness the beautiful, God-gifted natural surroundings, and spend their leisure time enjoying it. In fact, a staggering 80 percent of Indian tourists visit Sundarban at least once, as they crave to experience nature’s beauty. Interestingly, many people who visit Sundarban once, become a frequent visitor due to the serene beauty and peaceful natural environment.
So, what is the reason behind this attraction?
The Sundarbans is known for its sprawling natural cover. As most of the Sundarbans is connected by rivers, transportation is mainly via houseboats. The rivers here are vast and inhabited by crocodiles, fish, turtles, and crabs. Being in direct connection with the Bay of Bengal, the water here is slightly saline. In the midst of this environment, Sundari trees, also known as mangrove trees, flourish, and the vast mangrove forest is a sight to behold. Many watch towers in national park, including Sajnekhali, Sudarankhali, Beriberi bird watching tower, and many other sightseeing places, are found here that offer a plethora of beautiful and mesmerizing experiences.
Houseboat ride
The houseboat ride in Sunderban Tours is an unforgettable experience. The tourists can witness crocodiles swimming in the river, while the tigers often visit the banks for hunting or drinking water, which provides the opportunity to observe tigers up close. However, all the safety guidelines are followed to ensure the tourists’ safety during the houseboat ride.
Mangrove forest is another highlight of Sundarban that makes it an attractive place to visit. Sundarban is also home to numerous bird-watching towers where tourists can witness a plethora of wild animals and birds, along with the breathtaking views of the natural scenery.
Royal Bengal tigers also frequently hunt for food in nearby villages, adding an extra thrill to the visit.
Sundarban is also home to over 450 species of birds that migrate to this place every year. The vibrant birdlife attracts bird watchers from all around the world.
The local people of Sundarban fully depend on the forest products and rivers to meet their daily needs.
Sundarbans’ serene beauty, diverse wildlife, houseboat rides, mangrove forests, and birdlife make it an irresistible tourist destination. Many tourists, especially nature and wildlife enthusiasts, visit Sundarbans frequently to enjoy the unique experience that it has to offer.
