Sundarban Houseboat Rent

Call + 91 9903295920 for Sundarban Houseboat Rent

Spending the night in a Houseboat in Sundarban has always been an adventure in itself. The reason being so is simple. In all other places like Kerala or Kashmir, we have houseboats, which, during the night, are stationed or parked or anchored at the  bank of the river or lake. 
However, in Sundarbans National Park, the scenario is different because of fear of tigers. Here, tigers can swim and hence the Houseboats are anchored in the middle of the river. The lapping sound of water on the underside of the Houseboat creates an uneasy calm as the Houseboat remains anchored in the middle of the river.
Viewing the sunrise and the sunset sitting on the deck of the Houseboat, with a cup of refreshing tea in hand is a far cry from the fast paced city life. It's a feeling and the experience worth remembering. 
India Beacons Sojourn is a pioneer in the field of offering overnight stay in Houseboat service since 2009. However with changing times and the demand for improved facilities, the concept of Houseboats in Sundarbans has evolved. Today India Beacons sojourn provides Non AC Houseboat facility keeping in mind the need of the hour in conserving the environment.

The use of AC releases high amount of carbon and heat, which India Beacons Sojourn feels can be done away with to save the fragile ecology of the Sundarbans Tiger Reserve. We offer the following services in the Sundarbans National Park:

  • Sundarban Houseboat Rental from Godhkhali | Sundarban Houseboat Godhkhali
  • Sundarban Houseboat Rental from Sonakhali | Sundarban Houseboat Sonakhali
  • Sundarban Houseboat Rental from Canning | Sundarban Houseboat Canning
