Taste the Royalty of Bengal: Ilish Bhuna at Sundarban Hilsa Festival 2025

The magical aroma of freshly cooked Ilish Bhuna drifting over the lush mangroves, the golden sunsets over the Ganges delta, and the songs of river life create an unforgettable experience — welcome to the Sundarban Hilsa Festival 2025, proudly organized by Sonakshi Travels.

Celebrated with grandeur and passion, the Sundarban Hilsa Festival is not just an event; it’s a journey into the heart of Bengal’s culinary soul. This year, the highlight will be the rich, spicy, and mouth-watering dish — Ilish Bhuna. If you are a true hilsa lover, this festival is your dream destination.

What is Ilish Bhuna?

Ilish Bhuna is a slow-cooked delicacy where tender pieces of hilsa fish are gently simmered in a thick, flavorful gravy made with mustard oil, green chilies, and a blend of special Bengali spices. The bhuna (slow-cooking) technique locks in the natural oils of the Ilish, giving the dish a deep, rich, and aromatic taste. Every bite melts in the mouth, leaving behind the unmistakable smoky and mustardy flavor that hilsa is famous for.

It is a royal dish — loved by kings, poets, and food enthusiasts alike. And what could be a better place to taste authentic Ilish Bhuna than amidst the serene beauty of the Sundarbans during the Sundarban Ilish Utsav?

Sundarban Hilsa Festival 2025 – A Feast Beyond Imagination

The Sundarban Hilsa Festival 2025 promises to be bigger, better, and even more vibrant. From July to September — the peak hilsa season — the lush mangroves of the Sundarbans will come alive with the rich tastes and smells of traditional hilsa dishes.

Sonakshi Travels brings this unique celebration where foodies, travelers, and nature lovers come together to enjoy the best that Bengal has to offer. This year’s menu will be a lavish affair, and Ilish Bhuna will be the shining star among a wide range of hilsa delicacies like Ilish Pulao, Ilish Macher Jhal, Bhapa Ilish, and Doi Ilish.

Picture this: a private boat ride through the green waterways, spotting a crocodile lazing on the banks, a glimpse of a Royal Bengal tiger’s pawprints on the mud, and then sitting down to a grand Bengali lunch with a plate of steaming hot Ilish Bhuna. A rare and luxurious experience that only Sonakshi Travels can curate with such care.
