Sundarban is situated just 100 to 130 km from Kolkata, making it one of the most accessible and thrilling weekend getaways in West Bengal. Here is everything you need to know about reaching Sundarban comfortably.
Distance from Kolkata to Sundarban
The road distance from Kolkata to the main boat boarding points (Godkhali or Sonakhali) is roughly 100 km, taking approximately 3 to 3.5 hours by car.
Step-by-Step Travel Route:
By Road (Most Convenient):
Route: Kolkata (Science City / EM Bypass) → Baruipur / Ghatakpukur → Canning → Godkhali Ferry Ghat.
Private cars or tour agency AC cabs can pick you up directly from your doorstep in Kolkata and take you straight to Godkhali.
By Train (Budget-Friendly):
Catch a local suburban train from Sealdah South section to Canning Station (approx. 1 hour 15 mins).
From Canning, take an auto-rickshaw or shared vehicle to reach Godkhali Ghat (approx. 45–50 mins).
From Godkhali Ghat to Resort by Boat:
Once you reach Godkhali, all road journeys end. A motorized safari boat or ferry will transfer you across the scenic rivers to Gosaba, Pakhiralay, or your resort.
