About Sundarban Hilsa Festival in 3 Jagabandhu Modak Road, Sovabazar, Near Sovabar Metro Station, Gate no. 3, Kolkata - 700005, Kolkata

With the rains comes the king of fishes.

Since ages, this has rung true for foodies and fish-lovers of Bengal and Eastern India. Visitors in this part of the year always make it a point to taste the variety of sumptuous Hilsa fish recipes that the cooks here have to offer.

Although we had had this in mind since the start of our journey some 4-5 years back, we never got to implement it till last year August. Honestly, we were shocked by the huge response we got in our very first year. So much so, that we had to reject a lot of people as there is a dearth of sufficient accommodation in the Sunderbans. Hence this year, we thought of arranging the Hilsa fish festival on, not one or two, but FOUR Fridays in the month of August, so that many more people can participate and enjoy this festival of the King of Fishes.

As you know, we organize a host of programs in our Sunderbans tour package which include Jhumur dance (a local folk form of dance) performance and also a street-play which depicts the tale of their local deity Bonbibi, who is worshipped by these delta-dwellers to seek
protection against the Sunderban tiger. Apart from these, there will be Baul (folk song) performances, quizzes, games and much more. All these will also be included in our Sunderbans tour package along with
the festival of Hilsa fish.
