Cruise on Sundarbans National Park

An early morning wake up for an exciting boat safari. This day we sail in our tenders along the shores of Sundarbans, in the canals and creeks near The Kotka Wildlife Sanctuary for an hour and a half to catch wildlife (spotted deer, monkeys, wild boar, water monitor and birds) as it wakes up among the aerial roots of the mangrove mudflats. We return to MV Mahabaahu for breakfast as the ship sails through the estuary waters and reaches Jamtola Beach in the Bay of Bengal. We walk through the mangrove vegetation where the tiger plays hide and seek as it leaves behind ‘fresh pugmarks’.

READ THE REVIEW

I took this cruise in February of this year, it was a fantastic experience and I can’t recommend it too highly. The Mahabaahu was just perfect and the crew extremely professional but also quite delightful people. As to the wildlife we saw it was like being inside a David Attenborough documentary!.

Jenny Summerfield, BRITAIN, UK

I had a wonderful trip, the service and food was amazing. The cruise was very special also as it was evident that the boat was in a “less travelled” part of India for tourists.
