Kolkata · 4 Nights / 5 Days
Three nights in Kolkata and a Sundarbans day trip or overnight, subject to permits, tides and operator schedules.
Kolkata is the gateway to the Sundarbans, the mangrove delta shared by India and Bangladesh. The delta is remote and its boat and permit systems are strict, so we treat this as a flexible add-on. Wildlife sightings, including tigers, are rare and never guaranteed.
The Sundarbans portion runs by tide and permit, and long transfers are needed. If you only want the city, see the three-night plan.

Arrive at Kolkata (CCU) and settle in. A short evening walk at the riverfront.
Victoria Memorial, St Paul's Cathedral and BBD Bagh, with a long lunch break. Evening sweets and street-food trail.
Jorasanko Thakur Bari, Kumartuli and College Street, subject to opening days.
A full day trip or overnight by road and boat to the Sundarbans edge, around 3 to 4 hours each way by road. Entry follows forest department permits and tide timing. Mangrove creeks, birdlife and village life; tiger sightings are rare.
Return to Kolkata if you stayed overnight, and transfer for your onward journey. Leave a generous margin for traffic.
Opening days, hours and entry rules at museums, temples and palaces vary and can change; some close one day a week. Festival periods and the monsoon can change timings. Check current rules.
Sundarbans entry needs forest permits; check current rules.
Tigers are rarely seen; do not expect sightings.
October to February is best; the monsoon and cyclone season can disrupt boats.
This is a sample itinerary, not a fixed departure. Sequence, stays and activities are confirmed when we plan your journey, subject to availability, season, permits and local conditions.
