We experience happiness when we travel and that happiness keeps our mindset fresh and happy. Then we can think of new things and we can do much better in our field of work. That's why traveling and traveling is very important. But for the last two years everything is closed and now nothing is in its original form. The whole world is battling this pandemic and people have been advised to remain locked in their homes. We have no way but to follow what the government says. If we disobey the government, Covid will attack us and trouble us. But staying at home for so long sometimes makes us disappointed. We feel like we can go on a proper Sundarbans tour and enjoy it to the fullest. But now it is not possible to go to Sundarban. But soon the situation will change and we will be able to visit the Sundarbans once again.

 

Best time to visit

The Sundarbans are best visited between late October to early March, especially when the weather is cool and pleasant. The mysterious and foggy Sundarbans sometimes strikes travelers as more adventurous, as it is home to the world's largest mangrove forest along with the world famous hunter – The Royal Bengal Tiger.

 

The temperature can drop up to 4 degrees in the morning due to the vast open land and the devout atmosphere. With the sun shining, the temperature rises and it becomes easy and comfortable for the guests to travel. With sunset, the temperature again drops sharply and a proper shelter is needed to give rest to oneself. Some travelers prefer to stay on the boat at night, but according to our experience, we do not recommend it as it is not permissible and dangerous.

 

It should be kept in mind that during December to February the Sundarbans sees a rush of travelers. Hence it is advisable to make your bookings well in advance for hassle free Sundarbans package tour from Kolkata.
