Sundarban national park is different from the rest of the national parks due to the fact that while in most national parks and wildlife sanctuaries there is a network of pathways, in the sundarbans it is replaced with rivulets crisscrossing the entire biosphere reserve. The only way to access the mangroves is by motorized boats which are available in all shapes and sizes.
Almost the entire part and major spots of sundarban national park can be visited by these motorized boats. Majority of the hotels, resorts and lodges provide boat cruises along with the private boat owners. It is recommended to go for those boat cruises which are being operated through the hotel where one is staying. This serves two purposes-the cost of the boat cruise, guide etc are charged at the time of hiring the accommodation, and one can be assured of not being “taken for a ride” in the true sense of the statement. |

Tourists have the option of going for a luxury cruise or group cruises. Group cruises as the name suggests carry along two or three groups of people, either from the same hotel or from different locations. A host of other options from a variety of wildlife tour packages can be opted for. Some of them are listed as under:
- Royal Bengal Tiger tours
- Sundarban Weekend tours and,
- Best of East India wildlife tour.
These cruises also take you through some of the monuments and places which are popular amongst the tourists. The most visited are Netidhopani-a 300 year old temple, bhagabatpur-a crocodile project, sudhanyakhali-a tiger spotting watch tower and many more such interesting and intriguing places. |
