Kolkata, West Bengal, June 2026 — Tour De Sundarbans, the eco-tourism operator founded in 2006 by Rajesh Shaw, has expanded its Eco Village property to over six acres, adding new mud cottages and premium stays alongside its existing organic accommodation, as visitor demand for immersive Sundarbans experiences continues to grow.
The expansion accompanies the addition of a new vessel, Elmar, to the company's boat fleet, supporting the operator's signature Royal Bengal Tiger safaris and night cruises through the Sundarbans' narrow tidal channels.
"When we started in 2006, it was just a handful of us with a dream of showing people the Sundarbans the right way, responsibly and up close," said Rajesh Shaw, Founder of Tour De Sundarbans. "Watching the Eco Village grow to six acres while still keeping that same intimate, local feel is exactly what we set out to build."
Tour De Sundarbans has been ranked the best tour operator in the Sundarbans by TripAdvisor since 2011, with close to 1,200 reviews, and was recognised with the Travel and Hospitality Award in 2021. The operator has also been featured in three consecutive editions of the Lonely Planet guidebook.
The company's offerings range from single-day "Touch and Go" tours to multi-night "Wild Quest" and "Purely Wild" jungle safari packages, alongside educational trips and extended stays at the Eco Village.
