Getting to Sundarbans

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Sealdah (Kolkata) → Canning

train · 1.5h

₹60

1 way / person

Kolkata → Godkhali Jetty

cab · 2.5h

₹1,500

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Sealdah (Kolkata) → Canning by train. Return for two works out to about ₹240 — so a whole trip lands near ₹3,940 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Sundarbans's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
