Sundarbans Tourism

Type of destination: National Park and Tiger Reserve

Ideal visit duration: 2 to 3 days

Sundarbans, located in the delta region of Padma, Meghna and Brahmaputra river basins, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in West Bengal, India. This mangrove area forms the largest Tiger Reserve and National Park in India. Sundarbans is renowned for its unique ecosystem and wide variety of fauna, including the Royal Bengal Tiger, Ganges River dolphin, saltwater crocodile, and numerous species of birds and reptiles. The dense mangrove forests are interspersed with a network of tidal waterways, mudflats, and small islands of salt-tolerant mangrove forests. The area is also home to many small-scale fishermen and honey collectors, who gather wild honey from the forest. Sundarbans is a crucial area for biodiversity conservation due to its vulnerable ecosystem, which is continuously changing due to tidal influences and saline water influx. The complex network of tidal waterways makes it one of the most challenging places for forest patrolling and conservation, necessitating unique strategies to protect the wildlife and the fragile environment.

Quite overrated

2 nights and 3 days is an overkill. It's the same sights of rivers and mangroves, with not much of animals to see. In 3 days we saw 1 deer, 2 crocodiles and 2 monkeys. You would rarely see a tiger, fo..
