How much does a Sundarbans trip really cost?
A transparent and detailed budget guide (without any hidden costs)
Sundarbans is a natural wonder in India. If you are planning to travel to the world’s largest mangrove forest for the first time, the first question that comes to your mind will be— “How much does a Sundarbans tour cost?”
If you search the internet, you will find a lot of packages—some are very cheap, some are sky-highly expensive. But at Let’s Go Sundarban, we believe that traveling is not just about sightseeing, but also about creating unforgettable memories. Today, we will not use artificial advertising language, but rather discuss the details of the Sundarbans cost.
Why do the prices of Sundarbans tours vary so much?
The price of the Sundarbans package mainly depends on 4 factors:
1. Means of transport: Where are you starting your journey from? AC luxury bus from Kolkata, or local train from Sealdah?
2. Accommodation: Do you want to spend the night in a boat? Or do you want to stay in an AC room in a three-star resort with your family?
3. Food menu: Do you want simple home-cooked food, or do you want to have lobster, betki or special crabs on the menu?
4. Group size: Are you going alone (Solo Traveler) or in a large group with your family? The larger the group, the lower the cost per head.
