Kolkata, India
Tour de Sundarban has announced the launch of its eco-conscious travel packages, designed to protect the world’s largest mangrove ecosystem while offering travelers an immersive and responsible experience of the Sundarban forest.

The Sundarban, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, faces mounting threats from rising sea levels, pollution, and unregulated tourism. According to the World Mangrove Centre, over 40% of Sundarban’s mangroves have been under stress in the past decade. Recognizing this urgent need, Tour de Sundarban has committed to sustainable practices that prioritize both conservation and community livelihood.

Eco-Conscious Initiatives
Eco-friendly boats powered by solar energy and minimal fuel usage

Sustainable lodges built with local materials and water-saving systems

Local employment by hiring trained guides and supporting village crafts and cuisine

Strict waste protocols, including zero plastic zones and responsible disposal

“Eco-tourism, if implemented carefully, can actually fund conservation. This initiative by Tour de Sundarban is a step in the right direction,” said Dr. Arjun Malhotra, an environmental specialist.
Tourists are also encouraged to participate in educational storytelling sessions about mangrove ecology before each trip, ensuring awareness alongside adventure.

Impact & Testimonials
Early results show each eco-conscious trip prevents nearly 50 plastic items from entering rivers, a small but significant step toward preserving the delicate ecosystem. Wildlife Institute data also indicates that guided eco-tours reduce wildlife disturbance by up to 35%.

Anjali, a traveler from Mumbai, shared: “I went for a three-day Sundarban tour and realized how delicate everything is. I’ll never throw trash again.”

Future Plans
With plans to scale the initiative in 2025, Tour de Sundarban aims to expand eco-friendly boats, lodges, and guided tours, setting new benchmarks for responsible Sundarban tourism.

“Our packages aren’t just trips—they’re a responsibility. We want travelers to return home not only with memories but with a deeper respect for the Sundarban forest,” said a spokesperson from Tour de Sundarban.
