Sundarbans by boat, on a Forest Department permit

Spend a day on a slow launch through the mangrove creeks with a permit and a forest guide aboard, reading tracks on the mudbanks and watching from the Sajnekhali tower rather than chasing a sighting.

from ₹6000 · Roughly November to March is the comfortable season. The reserve and its permit counters run year-round but the delta is hot and wet from April, and the monsoon curtails boat movement.
