The cost of a Sundarban tour isn’t the same every month; it varies depending on the season, weather, tourist rush, and wildlife sighting.

This guide breaks down the Sundarban cost for 2026, month by month, making it easy to plan. Whether you’re up for a short break with buddies, a family trip, or a comfortable weekend escape, this comprehensive overview will help you plan better without a fuss.

How We Calculate the Tour Price

We calculate the tour price based on a few simple things, not hidden charges or confusing rules. The total cost of your expedition mainly depends on how many people share one room.

The next thing that plays a significant role is the season. Prices are usually low during the off-season and high during peak tourist months.

In addition, we make the trip more affordable and convenient with options for shared and private tours. The cost for the shared tour is fixed, and the private tour is fully customised. The price of a private tour varies by group size and hotel preference. Since the trip is planned only for your group, the prices may go up or down depending on your choices.

All shared tours include transfers, meals, permits, safaris, and cultural activities.

Sharing Tour Cost (February to June – Regular Season)

From February to June is considered the regular travel season for the Sundarbans. During this time, the weather conditions are mostly comfortable for an excursion. Thus, most travellers plan their trip during these months as the prices are also low. Here’s the room-sharing cost per person.

Ilish Festival Season (July to September – Rates Increase)

July to September is special in the Sundarbans because of the famous Ilish season. Many travellers plan their trip during this time just to enjoy fresh ilish dishes and unique culinary experiences. The prices usually go up this season by ₹200–₹300 per person.

Durga Puja & Kali Puja Season (October to November)

October to November is the busiest time to visit the Sundarbans because of Durga Puja and Dali Puja holidays. During this festival, the mangrove turns into a vibrant cultural hub. This encourages people to plan short trips during the festive breaks, so hotels and boats get booked quickly. And because of the festive rush and high demand, our tour prices also go up by  ₹100–₹200 per person.

Winter Peak Season (December to February)

Winters are the most popular time to discover the world’s largest mangrove forest. The pleasant weather and clear skies act as icing on the cake, making boat safaris and outdoor activities more enjoyable. And being the busiest season of the year, the prices rise by ₹200–₹300 per person.

Private / Customised Tour Cost

Private or customised tours are planned only for you and your group; the cost doesn’t stay fixed. The price depends on how many people are travelling, from where you want the pickup,  the type of hotel or resort you choose, and the month you are travelling. In addition to these, you can also ask for services like BBQ, special food, cultural programs, etc.

Since everything is tailored exclusively to your needs, the amount may go up or down based on your choices. You can personalise your trip and get the final cost with our travel agent.
