7. Burir Dabir:

Winter (October to March):

This is the best time to book a Sundarban Package from Godhkhali, primarily due to the pleasant weather. The mystic foggy winter in Sundarban is preferred by most travelers. Cruising through the rivers and narrow creeks is most enjoyable with the gentle warmth of the sun. Wild animals often emerge from the dense forest to bask in the sunlight, offering a higher chance of sighting them and capturing some amazing wildlife photographs.

Summer (April to June):

Summer is also a suitable season for a Sundarban tour, provided you're comfortable with heat and sunshine. To make your trip comfortable, consider booking a Sundarban Package Tour with an AC houseboat or AC boat, along with AC resorts and hotels. During the morning, when temperatures are lower, wild animals can be seen grazing near the river banks. As the day progresses, temperatures rise, which can make it unpleasant to roam around the Sundarban National Park. It's advisable to stay indoors in your AC boat or cottage during peak hours. However, nights in Sundarban during summer are magical, especially if you're staying in the middle of the river under a sky full of twinkling stars and cool breeze.

Monsoon (July to September):

Monsoon in Sundarban starts in early July and lasts until September. Rivers are at their peak and the landscape becomes quite dramatic with incessant rain, thunderstorms, and occasional tornadoes. However, monsoon has its unique charm. Those looking for leisure travel can enjoy the scenic beauty of Sundarban in the rain, sipping hot tea or coffee while listening to soothing melodies. Despite the challenges, visitors who have experienced Sundarban in monsoon often want to come back for more. Monsoon is also an excellent time for photography enthusiasts.
