Best Time to Visit Sundarban
15 October 2026
Winter, from November to February, is the most comfortable season. Days are cool and dry, and the weather suits long boat safaris. Summer is hot and humid, and the monsoon brings rough water and rain, so trips are fewer. Check the forest department's rules before you plan, because access can be restricted in some months.
The deep creeks are quiet in the early morning, and that is when guests most often spot deer, monkeys and kingfishers along the banks. Pack light cotton clothes, a hat, insect repellent and a light jacket for the river at night.
