Timing changes everything in Sundarbans. March sits in the warm shoulder closing the peak of the East India calendar, the kind of month that defines what you get from the trip more than any other variable, including the stay choice. We've architected Sundarbans missions in every month; here is exactly what March delivers and how we work it.
The cool, dry winter from November to February is the best and most comfortable time to visit, with calmer weather on the water and a marginally better chance of spotting wildlife basking in the open. The summer months are hot and intensely humid. The monsoon from June to September brings heavy rain, rougher water, and cyclone risk in the delta, and boat movement can be restricted. Note that the innermost core zones remain closed year-round and sightings are never guaranteed in any season.
For March specifically: Holi (typically Mar) is a worthwhile cultural anchor with private arrangements. The standard Sundarbans architecture (the world's largest mangrove wilderness) is preserved; the day-pacing is rebuilt around this month's conditions.
