About Us – Sundarban Hilsa Festival by Sonakshi Travels
Welcome to the Official Website of Sundarban Hilsa Festival 2026
Sonakshi Travels, a Kolkata-based travel company working in West Bengal tourism since 2013, presents the Sundarban Hilsa Festival, a seasonal travel experience built around Bengal’s well-known hilsa season and the river landscape of the Sundarban mangrove delta.
The festival brings together food, travel, and local culture in a setting shaped by monsoon water, village life, and mangrove scenery. Guests can enjoy traditional Bengali hilsa preparations such as Hilsa Paturi, Bhapa Ilish, Doi Ilish, and Hilsa Fry, prepared fresh during the journey.
Who We Are
Sonakshi Travels is a Kolkata-based travel agency with more than a decade of experience in arranging tours for travellers from India and abroad. We regularly organise tours to Sundarbans National Park and focus on travel experiences connected with wildlife, local culture, river-based tourism, and responsible travel planning.
Over the years, we have worked with a wide range of guests, including families, couples, groups, and senior travellers, with attention to practical arrangements, comfort, and local experience.
Why the Sundarban Hilsa Festival?
The Sundarban Hilsa Festival was created to combine two strong elements of Bengal’s identity: seasonal hilsa cuisine and the natural setting of the Sundarban. Held between July and September, the festival is planned for travellers who want to experience monsoon-season food traditions alongside boat travel, riverside landscapes, and local cultural life.
Some guests come for a short seasonal break, some for a family outing, and some because they want to experience hilsa season in a more memorable setting. The festival is designed to bring these elements together in a clear and well-managed format.
