What's the advantage of the 4-day tour over the 3-day option?

How likely am I to see a Royal Bengal Tiger?
While the Sundarbans is home to a significant tiger population, sightings are rare as tigers are elusive and avoid human contact. However, the extended 4-day itinerary increases your chances, and you will likely see pugmarks and other signs of their presence.

What wildlife can I expect to see?
Commonly spotted wildlife includes spotted deer, monkeys, crocodiles, various species of birds, reptiles, and if fortunate, the Royal Bengal Tiger.

What type of accommodation is provided on the cruiser?
The river cruiser provides basic but comfortable cabins with beds, clean bedding, and shared bathroom facilities. The 4-day tour uses a slightly more comfortable cruiser than the 3-day option.

Is there electricity on the cruiser?
Yes, the cruiser has a generator that provides electricity during certain hours, typically in the evening for charging devices and lighting.

How safe is the Sundarbans tour?
The tour is very safe when conducted with experienced guides. We follow all safety protocols, and our guides are trained in forest safety procedures. The extended tour allows for a more gradual and thorough orientation to safety in the mangrove forest.

Are there medical facilities available?
Basic first aid facilities are available on the cruiser. For serious medical issues, we would need to return to the nearest town, which is several hours away.

Is the 4-day tour suitable for children and elderly people?
While the tour is generally suitable for people of all ages, those with mobility issues might find some parts challenging. Please consult with us before booking if you have concerns. The longer duration may be more taxing for very young children or elderly participants.

We recommend taking anti-malarial precautions and using insect repellent. The risk is higher during certain seasons, so please consult with a healthcare provider before your trip.
