No entry to Sundarbans. The forest department has given strict instructions to tour operators and hotel owners in this regard. Tourists will not be able to visit Sundarbans from June 16 to 23.

For those few days, all kinds of tourism activities in the Sundarban Tiger Project (STR) have been temporarily suspended. According to the forest department, this decision has been taken due to unavoidable administrative situation and for the safety of tourists. In fact, this access has been ordered to be closed for some programs on the occasion of International Yoga Day.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in Kolkata on International Yoga Day. And at that time there will be a mega yoga practice on a floating boat in the Hooghly river. A special yoga camp has also been organized at Babughat.

The main attraction of this mega event is going to be a huge yoga practice on a boat on the river Hooghly. And numerous big boats and launches are being brought to Kolkata from the Sundarbans region for this event. That is why it is forbidden to go to Sundarbans for those few days.

The online booking portal for Sundarbans tourism will also be completely inactive for these 8 days. No entry will be allowed. Tourists are strictly prohibited from entering all eco-tourism spots.

From 24th June 2026, tourism activities in Sundarbans will resume as usual. All tour operators, boats and hotel owners have been asked to strictly follow these guidelines by the forest department. It is also directed to cancel or suspend all bookings during this period.
