West Bengal is a land where history, faith and nature come together beautifully. From the lively streets of Kolkata to the peaceful surroundings of the Sundarbans and the spiritual significance of Gangasagar, the state offers plenty to discover. The official Sundarbans Kolkata Tour Package by IRCTC Tourism brings these experiences together in a planned 6-night and 7-day journey starting from Mumbai. This thoughtfully arranged tour combines a memorable Kolkata sightseeing experience, a scenic wildlife journey through the Sundarbans, and a meaningful visit to Gangasagar, offering travellers an opportunity to explore the region’s cultural heritage, natural beauty and spiritual traditions.
Your travel begins with an early morning flight from Mumbai to Kolkata. Upon landing at the Kolkata airport, an IRCTC representative will pick you up and transfer you to Godkhali Jetty Point. From Godkhali, you will travel to the Sundarbans and check into your hotel.
In the afternoon, board a riverboat cruise into the heart of the Sundarbans Tiger Reserve for a Sundarbans wildlife tour. You will sail through rivers and narrow creeks toward the Sajnekhali Watchtower. Disembark and walk along protected caged walkways to reach the tower, where you can scan the landscape for the Royal Bengal Tiger. Keep your eyes on the nearby freshwater pond, as deer, water monitor lizards, wild boars, and monkeys often come there to drink water or rest. End your first day with a delicious dinner and an overnight stay in the Sundarbans.
After enjoying breakfast, embark on a boat cruise toward the Dobanki Watch Tower inside the dense Sundarbans forest. A major highlight here is the canopy walk, which gives you an elevated view of the dense jungle. Next, visit the spotted deer rehabilitation centre before sailing back via the Matla Sea Face, where the river meets the vast Bay of Bengal.
In the evening, experience the local rural culture with a live “Bonbibi Yatra” theatre performance by local villagers. Through lively folk songs and traditional dances, the play tells stories of the forest goddess Bonbibi, the tiger lord, and local fishermen and honey collectors. Enjoy dinner and spend your second night in the Sundarbans.
