Frequently Asked Questions
A common misconception is that a one-day tour is enough to see everything in the Sundarbans. This isn't true. One-day tours often offer limited experiences, akin to visiting a zoo, where you might see a few captive deer, a couple of crocodiles in breeding facilities, and a tortoise breeding center. These attractions are typically part of the final day of a more immersive tour. A three-day tour allows you to dive deep into the mangrove forest, experience the dynamic interplay of ocean and mangrove, and witness wildlife in their natural habitat, offering a truly enriching experience that a one-day tour simply cannot provide.
