Frequently Asked Questions
The ideal time is from October to March, during the dry and cool winter season. Wildlife, particularly tigers, are more active near water sources, visibility is better, and the weather is pleasant for cruising and walks. The monsoon (April-September) offers lush greenery but involves higher humidity, rain, and some itinerary adjustments due to tides..
While the Sundarbans is one of the best places in the world to see the Royal Bengal Tiger, sightings are rare and never guaranteed. Tigers are elusive and masters of camouflage in the dense mangroves. Our experienced guides maximize your chances by tracking signs and visiting prime zones, but the tour's core value is experiencing the entire unique ecosystem, not just tiger sightings..
Accommodation is clean, secure, and functional, designed for the river environment. Cabins are cozy with beds, fans, and storage. Electricity (for lights and charging) is typically available for several hours in the evening via generator. There is no Wi-Fi, and mobile networks are very weak or absent, allowing for a true digital detox. Deluxe cabins with attached bathrooms are available upon request and subject to availability..
The tour can be suitable for active, nature-loving children and elderly guests in good health. However, it involves climbing on/off boats, navigating potentially slippery surfaces, and basic living conditions. Long periods of cruising and specific activities like jungle walks require patience and mobility. Please discuss any concerns with us before booking so we can advise on suitability..
We can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and common dietary restrictions with advance notice. Please clearly state your requirements at the time of booking. Our onboard cook prepares fresh meals, and we will do our best to cater to your needs. However, options may be limited due to remote location and ingredient availability, so managing expectations is important..
