How to Reach FAQ

How do I reach the Sundarbans from Kolkata?

Most travellers go Kolkata → Canning (train) or drive to Godkhali jetty (2.5–4 hrs), then continue by boat. Share your starting point and we map the smoothest route.

Where do tours usually start?

Godkhali jetty or Canning station — our tours receive you at either, with the exact pickup time shared a day before.

Can I do it as a day trip from Kolkata?

Yes — expect an early start (6–7am) and return by evening. Two days with a night stay is far more relaxed.
