Before You Go ✦

Good to Know

All Travel is by Boat

There are no roads inside the core Sundarban area. Every destination is reached by country boat or motorised vessel through the tidal rivers.

Forest Permits are Mandatory

Entry into core zones requires a Forest Department permit. We handle all paperwork — just bring a valid government photo ID.

Best Season: Oct – Mar

The winter months offer clear skies, cooler weather, tiger activity near water, and peak migratory bird season at Pakhiralay.

Small Groups Only in Core Areas

Forest regulations limit group sizes inside protected zones. We strictly follow these rules to protect both guests and wildlife.

Be Silent. Be Patient.

Wildlife is wild. Carry binoculars, keep voices low, and switch phones to silent. The rewards for patience are immense.

Guides are Non-Negotiable

Licensed forest guides are required inside the tiger reserve. Our guides are not just legal — they're exceptional naturalists.
