Good to know
Things to Do questions
Am I guaranteed to see a tiger in the Sundarbans?
No. The Sundarbans holds one of the world's great tiger populations, but the mangroves are dense and the animals extremely elusive; sightings are rare and can never be guaranteed. We frame the trip honestly around the wider ecosystem, with a tiger as a rare bonus.
When is the best time to visit?
The cool, dry winter from November to February is best for comfort on the water and slightly improved wildlife spotting. The monsoon brings heavy rain, rough water, and cyclone risk and is best avoided; the core zones stay closed year-round.
How do I get to the Sundarbans?
Kolkata is the gateway. We drive you from the city to the jetty at Godkhali, about 100 km and three to four hours, then continue by private boat into the reserve.
