Enjoy A Jungle Adventure At This Eco Village In The Sundarbans

Go eco-friendly at Backpackers Eco Village.

Spread across four acres, Backpackers Eco Village opened in 2012 and has since been a popular accommodation option in the Sundarbans.

The 30 mud cottages offer stay for two to eight guests. And there’s no TV or Wi-Fi. Founder-owner Rajesh Kumar Shaw will help you plan out your Sundarbans trip, whether you stay for a night or more. The day tour group requires a minimum of four people.

You can visit fishing and honey collectors’ villages as well as watch towers here, or enjoy bird watching on a country boat until sunset and intense jungle safaris. Evenings are best spent participating in local song and dance performances at the resort.

Rural Bengali cuisine prepared in their kitchens is a must-try – think native vegetarian preparations, fresh fish and seafood curries as well as duck. We also recommend cruising on the Elmar, a fishing trawler turned cruiser complete with five cabins, a watch tower and a spacious deck to relax.
