June–September Hilsa Festival monsoon special — mustard hilsa, steamed hilsa, hilsa biryani and more, with cruising, village stays and Baul folk evenings. Confirm exact festival dates, route status and availability before booking.
June to September — the monsoon belongs to the hilsa. Our Hilsa Festival pairs the season's most loved fish with three unhurried days on the water: mustard hilsa, steamed hilsa, hilsa with pui greens, doi hilsa and a farewell hilsa biryani.
Between meals: day-long boat cruising, the full watchtower circuit, comfortable overnight stay and traditional evenings with Adivasi folk performances and Baul music.
