What is the Best Time to Book Sundarban Houseboat Package Tour?
Sundarban is best travelled between end of October to early March especially when the weather is cold and pleasant. The mystic and foggy Sundarban sometime appears to traveller as more adventurers as it is the only largest mangrove forest in the world with a world famous predator – The Royal Bengal Tiger.
During morning, the temperature can drop as low as freezing 4 degrees due to the vast open land and reverie ambience. With the sun shine, the temperature rises and travelling become easy and comfortable for the guests. With the sun set, the temperarature again fall rapidly and a proper shelter is necessary to comfort yourself. Some travellers prefer to stay at boat in night, but according to our experience, we don’t advice this as this is not permissible and hazardous too.
It should be kept in mind that during December to February, Sundarbnan is thronged with travellers. So it is advisable to get your booking done well in advance for hassle free Sundarban tour .

We were total 22 family members just completed Sunderban Tour few days ago. It was different experience and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The best part was the whole day boat cruise with lots of yummy fries and local fish. Though we couldn’t spotted the tiger, but we have seen few deers and crocodiles heard from guide that just 2 days back, locals spotted tiger in Sajnekhali, but we missed it. The hotels, food, transports and boats provided by NatureWings were good and as committed. Thanks to NatureWIngs for arranging wonderful Sunderban Tour from Kolkata.
From FacebookPartho Pratim
Our trip to Sunderban was really great and we enjoyed the largest mangrove forest of the world, so many rivers and canals and overall boat cruising and visiting the watch tower. The Bengali style food with many fishes like Ilish and Chingri made our trip really fabulous. Previously we travelled for Bhutan Tour with NatureWings and they provided very good service, so this time when we decided for Sunderban, we choose them without any doubts and obviously they didn’t disappoint us.
From FacebookRanjita Nag
Our trip to Sunderban was very well organized and we enjoyed a lot. The whole day boat cruising was very relaxing, the boat was good, there are places with bed for taking rest. My parents took a sleep in the bed and we played lot of games on board with other passengers. The mobile signal was not available all the places and I liked that, at least for few hours I felt I was like out of the world. Whole day boat cruising with onboard good foods was very relaxing and got a complete rest.
We stayed in Dayapur village and choose a premium resort over there, all facilities including AC, Geyser and all other amenities were available and in the evening they organized a local folk dance program. The overall food, both at resort as well as on board in the boat was good. The boat was neat and clean with good sleeping bed with private small cabin. Bathroom in the boat was also ok. Overall, it was new experience with boat cruise and we recommend NatureWings for Sunderban Package from Kolkata.
From FacebookSunita Majumdar
We are from Mumbai and on a way to visit Bhutan, we took 3 days Sunderban Tour from Kolkata, arranged by NatureWIngs. It was really a awesome experience with unique ambiance under the world’s largest mangrove forest and various wild lives. Our trip started from Kolksta and after 3 and half hours of journey, we reached a river jetty Gadkhali, from there we boarded our boat and it started sailing for around 2 hours to reach our resort, Mangrove resort.
Once we boarded our boat from Gadkhali, green coconut was offered. After sometime, they offered some vegetable pakora , Cheese pakora and paneer pakora along with 2 times tea/coffee. Then we checked in at the resort the most exciting day was the second day, when it was a full day cruising with lots of vegetable items. The whole day boat cruising along with watch tower visit was really thrilling and we spotted one crocodile on the river bed. Sometime boat enters into the very narrow canal and we got frightened. The lifestyle of Sunderban local is very unique and risky too. We found few very small boats are sailing through for fishing. Overall our Sunderban Tour from Kolkata was memorable one.
From FacebookSupriyo Sarkar
In last week of Decenber, we Book a Sunderban Package Tour for 3 days. The trip was really good, we enjoyed the boat ride, hotels and food. Kids in our team enjoyed by spotting few deers and one crocodile during 1st day of our cruise. We are a bird lover and on the first day we could see few rare bird species in the pakhiralaya. However, we could not find much value in the evening dance program. The fried fish on board was really munchy and tasty. If you want to take a break from your city life and mobile calls, I recommend taking a sunderban trip. It will rejuvenate you for sure. Kudos to NatureWings.
