Baul Song on Sundarban Tour
When you think of a Sundarban tour, the first things that come to mind are tigers, crocodiles, and the beauty of the mangrove forest. But hidden inside every trip is another magical experience that touches the heart – the Baul song on Sundarban tour. These mystical folk songs bring the culture of Bengal alive and make evenings in Sundarban truly unforgettable.
What Is a Baul Song ?
Baul songs are not just music – they are a way of life. Recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage, Baul music carries Bengal’s spiritual wisdom.
The word Baul means “madly devoted” – these singers lose themselves in song, searching for truth and simplicity in life.
Traditional Baul songs of Bengal focus on love, humanity, nature, and the divine within us – often called Moner Manush (the person of the heart).
Instruments like ektara, duggi, khamak, and bamboo flute create a soulful sound that connects deeply with listeners.
When you hear it during a Sundarban tour, with rivers and forests in the background, it feels like music rising from nature itself.
🎤 Baul Singers in Sundarban

🏨 How Baul Performances Happen on Sundarban Tours
Timing: Baul evenings are usually held on Day 1 or Day 2 of the Sundarban tour, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
Venue: We host them inside hotels and resorts in Sundarban. Unlike some agencies who arrange them on open boat decks, we prefer hotel stages for comfort, safety, and weather protection.
Seating: Guests are provided with proper chairs and a stage view. It’s a cozy, cultural evening.
Atmosphere: The sound of ektara, the rhythm of khamak, and the voice of the Baul create a mystical environment.
Guests don’t just listen – they clap, sing along, and sometimes even dance, turning it into a shared cultural moment.
🥘 Music and Food: A Complete Experience
Evenings with Baul are often followed by a special dinner menu to make the experience more memorable. After the music, we serve dishes like:
Fried rice and chili chicken
Mutton kosha with rice or pulao
Sweets and seasonal fruits
This combination of Sundarban cultural tour music and traditional Bengali food makes evenings unforgettable for families, couples, and groups.
🌏 The Message Behind Baul Songs
Baul singers are not entertainers only – they are storytellers. Their songs often talk about:
Banabibi, the goddess worshipped in Sundarban for protection
The struggles of fishermen and honey collectors
The forest, the tides, and the river as symbols of life
Humanity’s role in protecting nature
Sometimes, they also include modern messages about climate change, global warming, and rising sea levels. Sundarban is one of the most climate-sensitive regions, and through Baul songs, these singers remind us to respect nature before it is too late.
🎶 Instruments of Baul Folk Music
Baul singers in Sundarban use simple, handmade instruments that create magical sounds:
Ektara – the one-stringed instrument that gives Baul its soul
Dotara – a string instrument with deep, rich tones
Duggi – a small drum played by hand
Khamak – a unique instrument with a plucked string attached to a drum
Flute, Kartal, Manjira – for melodic and rhythmic touches
These instruments are carried by the singers themselves and add a rustic, spiritual charm to the performances.
