Preparing for your Sundarban expedition requires smart packing suited for river cruises and jungle watch towers:
1. Earth-Toned Clothing
Avoid bright colors like red or neon yellow. Stick to khaki, olive green, beige, and earthy browns that blend into the mangrove foliage.
2. Binoculars and Telephoto Lens
Wildlife viewing takes place from the boat deck or watch towers across wide channels. A 8x42 or 10x42 binocular is indispensable.
3. Warm Layers for Early Mornings
River cruises at 6:00 AM can be misty and chilly. Bring a windbreaker and light fleece jacket.
