Hilsa Curry & Hilsa Biryani (during monsoon season)
Prawn Malai Curry – creamy and rich, a Bengali favorite

🛥 Sundarban Boat Food Service
One of the most unique experiences is enjoying meals inside the boat. Boats are equipped with small but well-maintained kitchens. Our expert chefs prepare everything in real time using fresh ingredients – no frozen food, no storage.
Morning tea, breakfast, and lunch are served on the boat while cruising through rivers.
Food is cooked and served with proper hygiene. Dishes are covered to protect from outside dust.
Unlimited servings – you can eat as much as you want.
For snacks, fresh pakoras and fish fries are made on the spot, filling the boat with mouthwatering aroma.
👉 Common challenges: Boat dining space is limited. Guests usually eat in small groups, one batch after another. But this makes the experience even more authentic and cozy.
This is why the Sundarban boat food service is a memorable part of the trip – food with the view of rivers, forests, and wildlife.
🏨 Sundarban Hotel Meals
After sunset, boats must leave the forest area. Guests spend the night in hotels or resorts, where dinner is served.
Hotels provide proper dining spaces for comfort.
Food is prepared fresh, with menus similar to the boat itinerary.
Premium hotels may offer additional facilities like buffet style or cultural dining experiences with Baul music and Jhumur dance.
In-room dining is usually not available – all meals are served in the dining area.
The combination of Sundarban boat food service during the day and Sundarban hotel meals at night creates a complete culinary journey.
