How to Visit?

You can go on your own or contact a Sundarbanstravel operator. Most tour operators receive their Kolkatatravellers right at the Science City. They arrange luxury bus service up to Godkhali which is near Gosaba. From there, you will be taken on a boat ride to reach Sundarbans.

Some tour operators make a one-night stay arrangement at a Satjelia before taking the travellers on trawlers to Sundarbans. A boat ride is one of the most fascinating parts of Sundarbans tour.

As Sundarbans have emerged as one of the most popular destinations for its absorbing natural landscape, fascinating wildlife and amicable people, many hotels and resorts have sprouted in this otherwise tranquil delta. Bustling tourism industry is contributing to the development of this region and improving the life of its residents.

During the travel season, you have to do advanced booking; otherwise, it is nearly impossible to get a room and you will have to come back frustrated. If you have decided to go with a tour operator, leave everything to them as they will take care of nitty-gritty, from lodging, food to sightseeing and entertainment.

A Journey through Wilderness

Every tourist must have permissions from Sajnekhali to take a ride through the wilderness. The boat meandering its way through the river (Gomdi River), with both sides painted with different shades of green, will give you goosebumps.

If it is winter, make sure to wear sweaters, jackets and mufflers as Sundarbans is pretty cold during the chilly months. With the boat speeding on the riverbed, get ready to brace yourself against the cold wind that will hit you from the opposite direction.

The boat will now move through the vast stretches of rivulets and rivers, taking you closer to the forest dense with plants and shrubs. The pin-drops-silence will give you an eerie feeling of being watched by the flaming eyes of the Fearless King of the Forest. It is fondly and famously called Royal Bengal Tiger for its gorgeous look as well as cleverness and agility.

The way it chases and captures its preys makes the Big Cat both loved and feared in the eyes of the locals. According to them, Sundarbans is nothing without the tides and tiger, both are majestic and enigmatic in their own way.

Final Words

A scrumptious spread at hotels or resort, wherever you are staying, is a part of Sundarbansvisit. A fulfilling feast it is and you will love to dig into crab curry, spicy chicken, mutton menus and fried items. Fresh catches give a fillip to taste.

A Sundarbans trip is incomplete without a musical evening. The songs and dances by the local artists will give you a strong feel that this is a land of gems, in terms of scenic beauty, wildlife and talents.
