Sunderbans Jungle Camp - November/December

daveyboy82 · May 12th, 2009, 04:24

Hi all,

My girlfriend and I are considering going on the excellent-looking Sunderbans Jungle Camp 4days/3nights package tour (itinerary below!..)

The thing is, it looks as if it gets considerably cheaper the more people do it. If we were to do it just the two of us, it would cost 18,900rs (about £250) EACH but if between 6 and 8 people go together, it only costs 10,500rs each (about £140).. the more there are, the cheaper it gets (if there are 15-20 people, it's only £100 each)...

I wonder if any other couples or groups had noticed this? Maybe it's worth considering synchronising? we'll be there some time around the end of November - flexible either side.. The camp has numerous seperate accomodation buildings (see attached pic) so it's only the boat rides I'm proposing we share!

If anyone has been on this camp, I'd be intrigued to hear your thoughts about the experience!

Many thanks!

David
