From Godkhali Ferry Ghat we cross over to the island of Gosaba by boat. We reached our cottage at 1:30 which is located just opposite to the sundarban tiger reserve. We ate our lunch there in the cottage. And then after resting for 1:30 hour. A short introduction via boat to the Sundarban Bird Jungle with the lovely sunset view which is more mesmerizing, after the ‘sunsets’ we came back to the cottage at 6 pm. After that we enjoyed local folk dance with evening snacks.
