Get up close to one of the most unusual wildlife attractions in Bengal with this package. Stay at our Mayer Bari homestay near Bakkhali and take a boat trip to the Bhagabatpur Crocodile Project, the only crocodile project of its kind in West Bengal.
Set on the bank of the Saptamukhi estuary and surrounded by thick mangrove forest, Bhagabatpur Kumir Prakalpa is a breeding and conservation center for estuarine crocodiles. You can see crocodiles of every age here, from tiny hatchlings to fully grown adults, and learn how they are raised and then released back into the wild. The center also works to conserve the rare Batagur baska river tortoise.
The trip is reached by boat from the Namkhana side, and the ride through the estuary and mangroves is a lovely part of the day. With a bit of luck, you may spot dolphins and plenty of birds along the way. Because access is by water, we help you arrange the boat and the timing.
Our homestay keeps you comfortable before and after the trip, with cozy rooms, home-cooked Bengali food, and friendly local hosts who know the river routes.
This package is great for families with children, wildlife lovers, and anyone curious about the Sundarbans ecosystem. The best season is October to March.
