Sundarban 1 Night 2 Days Package — Overnight Tour

Our Sundarban 1 night 2 days package is the ideal choice for travellers who want a complete Sundarban experience without taking too many days off work. Priced from ₹3,999 per person, this overnight tour includes comfortable hotel accommodation, all meals, two full boat safaris, watchtower visits, the famous Dobanki canopy walk, and an evening cultural performance with local folk artists. It is the sweet spot between a day trip and a full 3-day expedition.

With one night spent deep inside the Sundarbans, you get to experience something day-trippers miss entirely — the magical sounds of the jungle at night. The distant calls of owls, the splash of crocodiles entering the water, the rustle of deer in the undergrowth, and a sky full of stars unmarred by city lights. Add a bonfire (in winter) and traditional folk music, and you have a truly unforgettable overnight adventure.

Detailed 1 Night 2 Days Itinerary

Day 1 — Arrival and Evening Safari

• 8:00 AM: Pickup from Kolkata (Indian Museum/Science City area) in AC vehicle. Begin the scenic drive to Godkhali via Basanti Highway. Breakfast and tea break en route.
• 11:30 AM: Arrive at Godkhali jetty. Board the motorboat for the journey into the Sundarbans. Watch the landscape transform from rural Bengal into dense mangrove forest.
• 1:00 PM: Arrive at the eco-resort. Check into your clean, comfortable room. Welcome drink served.
• 1:30 PM: Lunch — a hearty Bengali meal with rice, dal, fish curry, chicken/egg (as per preference), salad, and papad.
• 3:00 PM: Afternoon boat safari. Cruise to Bird Jungle (Pakhiralay area) through narrow creeks. Watch for kingfishers, egrets, herons, and Brahminy kites nesting in the mangroves. Your guide explains the unique tidal ecosystem as you navigate between islands.
• 5:30 PM: Return to resort for evening tea and snacks while watching the sun set over the river.
• 7:00 PM: Cultural program — local tribal folk dance, Baul music, and storytelling about the legend of Bonbibi (the forest goddess who protects against tigers). In winter months (November-February), enjoy a bonfire by the riverside.
• 8:30 PM: Dinner — fresh Bengali cuisine with locally caught fish, seasonal vegetables, and sweet desserts.

Day 2 — Full Day Jungle Safari and Return

• 6:00 AM: Early morning tea. Watching the sunrise over the mangroves is a photographer dream.
• 7:00 AM: Full-day jungle safari begins. The early morning hours are the best time for wildlife sightings when animals are most active.
• 8:00 AM: Visit Sajnekhali Watchtower and Wildlife Sanctuary. Explore the Mangrove Interpretation Centre, crocodile pond, turtle hatchery, and Bono Bibi Temple. Excellent bird watching opportunities.
• 9:30 AM: Breakfast on the boat — puri, sabzi, eggs, and hot tea served while cruising through the creeks.
• 10:30 AM: Reach Sudhanyakhali Watchtower — the prime tiger spotting location. The watchtower overlooks a freshwater pond surrounded by grassland where tigers, spotted deer, and wild boars come to drink. Spend 30-45 minutes observing and photographing.
• 12:00 PM: Dobanki Canopy Walk — the highlight of the trip for many visitors. Walk along the 896-metre suspended wooden walkway, 20 feet above the forest floor, surrounded by the mangrove canopy. Spot deer, birds, and possibly tigers from this unique aerial perspective.
• 1:00 PM: Lunch on the boat — another authentic Bengali meal as you cruise towards Panchamukhani, the breathtaking junction where five rivers meet.
• 2:30 PM: Explore one final creek before turning back. Your guide will take you through areas known for crocodile and dolphin sightings.
• 3:30 PM: Arrive back at the resort. Quick freshening up, checkout, and board the boat to Godkhali.
• 5:00 PM: Depart Godkhali by AC vehicle.
• 8:30 – 9:00 PM: Arrive back in Kolkata. Tour concludes with wonderful memories.

1N2D vs Other Packages — Which Should You Choose?

The 1 Night 2 Days package is perfect if you have a weekend free and want more than a day trip but cannot commit to 3 days. Compared to the 1 Day tour, you get the overnight experience, the cultural program, the canopy walk, and significantly more safari time. However, if you can spare one more day, the 2 Nights 3 Days package covers even more territory, visits all four watchtowers, and gives you the best tiger-spotting odds.
