Understand how a Sundarban boat safari works, what to confirm before travelling from Kolkata, which watchtowers may be included, and why tiger sightings are never guaranteed.
Questions
You cruise permitted creeks with a licensed boat and forest guide, stopping at watchtowers like Sajnekhali and Dobanki. Routes and timings follow forest department rules.
No honest operator can promise that — sightings depend on nature, season and luck. Deer, crocodiles, wild boar and rich birdlife are far more common.
Typically Sajnekhali, Sudhanyakhali and Dobanki (with its canopy walk) — exactly which depends on permits and the day's route.
