Once you reach Canning, follow the signs to the Sundarbans, which will lead you through the town of Basanti. The route will take you through rural West Bengal, so be prepared for some winding roads. After Basanti, you will reach the ferry ghat at Canning, where you must park your car and take a ferry across to the Sundarbans area. The ferry ride costs approximately ₹50-₹100 per person, depending on the distance.

Be sure to check the ferry schedules as they can vary throughout the day.

Private Taxi
For a more comfortable journey, consider hiring a private taxi from Kolkata. You can book a taxi online or through your hotel. The fare will typically range between ₹3000-₹5000 depending on your negotiation skills and the time of day. The driver will take you to Canning, and you will still need to take a ferry from there to enter the Sundarbans. The ferry ride will incur an additional cost of ₹50-₹100 per person.
