ActivityTravel note
It's mostly a boat trip, and that's the point
Sajnekhali, Sundarbans, West Bengal
Published Oct 10, 2026 · RegretMap travel note
The situation
Visits to the Sundarbans are spent largely on boats through channels and creeks, with short stops at watchtowers. Tiger sightings are rare, and tides shape the day.
The lesson
Go for the mangroves, birds and river life; a tiger would be extraordinary luck.
Advice for future travellers
Stay on the boat unless at an authorised stop, and use operators who handle forest permits.
