First you take a train to Howrah. Take a cab to Sealdah Satation and board the Canning local. Your destination is Canning. Once you reach Canning you have go to the docks. From there take a steamer, which will take you to Sunderbans.
The journey from Howrah to Sunderban will take about 3.30 -4.00 hours.
