About

Boat exploration defines every Sundarbans safari, as the entire Sundarbans mangrove forest remains accessible only by motor launch or smaller country boats. Most multi day itineraries across the Sundarbans area include a larger mother vessel equipped with sleeping cabins and dining space, along with smaller boats used to navigate narrow tidal creeks. These slender waterways allow close approach to the mangrove banks, where wildlife often appears along the edges. Watchtowers at Sajnekhali, Sudhanyakhali, and Netidhopani provide elevated vantage points over the dense forest landscape of the Sundarbans in India. Wildlife sightings may include the elusive Sundarbans tiger, estuarine crocodiles, spotted deer, wild boars, Ganges river dolphins, and more than 300 bird species. Many visitors combine their journey with stays at eco friendly Sundarbans resorts located in the buffer villages.
