Backpackers
Tour
de
Sundarbans
is
AMAZING!
We
had
a
great
experience.
Sundarbans
is
a
very
beautiful
place
and
we
are
really
glad
that
we
went
with
Tour
de
Sundarbans.
The
eco
village
is
an
innovative
idea.
It
is
very
well-maintained.
We
loved
the
way
it
was
planned,
taking
care
of
all
details.
The
rooms
are
clean
and
spacious,
food
is
delicious
and
the
people
are
friendly.
The
tour
operators
have
put
in
a
lot
of
thought
and
effort
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
pleasant
stay
and
get
to
enjoy
the
beauty
of
Sundarbans.
Details
about
our
trip:
1.
On
day
1,
we
left
from
Kolkata
at
8
a.m.
and
reached
the
eco
village
at
around
1
p.m.
After
a
scrumptious
lunch
at
the
eco
village,
we
relaxed
for
a
while
and
then
went
for
a
tour
of
the
village.
We
learnt
about
the
history
of
the
place,
the
life
of
the
locals
and
their
culture.
After
that,
we
got
on
our
boat
and
explored
the
nearby
area.
We
saw
a
lot
of
crabs.
The
mangrove
forests
are
beautiful
and
just
being
there
made
us
feel
calm
and
content.
After
our
boat
ride,
we
went
back
to
the
eco
village
where
we
had
tea
and
snacks.
Later
on,
there
was
a
performance
by
local
musicians.
We
played
the
instruments
and
sang
along.
It
was
fun!
The
dinner
was
delicious
too.
After
this,
we
went
for
a
boat
ride
at
night
(this
was
optional),
which
was
an
adventure.
We
saw
planktons.
It
was
quiet
and
pleasant.
The
boat
ride
under
the
starry
sky,
with
water
and
mangrove
forests
all
around
us
and
the
sound
of
the
water
hitting
the
boat
paddles..
It
is
an
experience
that
I'll
never
forget.
After
this,
we
returned
to
the
eco
village
and
went
to
sleep.
2.
On
day
2,
we
left
at
around
6
a.m.
This
time,
we
were
on
a
bigger
boat.
After
getting
permits
for
entry
to
the
forest,
we
went
to
the
Sundarbans
Tiger
Reserve.
During
our
visit,
we
saw
many
animals
including
white
crocodile,
Irrawaddy
dolphin,
spotted
deer,
wild
boar,
kingfishers
and
many
more.
Sadly,
we
couldn't
see
the
Royal
Bengal
tiger.
Breakfast,
lunch
and
tea
were
served
on
the
boat.
Our
tour
guide,
Om
Prakash
Shaw,
was
very
helpful
and
friendly.
We
had
an
official
guide
from
the
forest
department
as
well
on
the
2nd
day
during
our
visit
to
the
jungle.
We
left
for
Kolkata
around
2
or
3
p.m.
and
reached
by
8:30
p.m.
We
had
a
great
time
on
our
trip
with
Backpackers
Tour
de
Sundarbans
and
would
definitely
recommend
it
to
others
who
want
to
have
an
enjoyable
trip
to
Sundarbans!
