  • Public Transport

    From Kolkata, take a local train from Sealdah Station to Canning (approx. 1.5-2 hours, ₹15-20). From Canning, shared auto-rickshaws or buses are available to Godkhali (approx. 1 hour, ₹30-40). From Godkhali, take a boat to Kumirmari (approx. 2-3 hours, ₹50-100 per person depending on the boat and group size). Boats are the primary mode of transport within the Sundarbans.
