This gem of a destination, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, serves as a biosphere reserve, a national park, and a tiger reserve, showcasing the remarkable richness of its mangrove ecosystem. Spanning an astounding 40,000 square kilometers, the Sundarbans delta extends from the River Hooghly in West Bengal, India, to the River Baleswar in Bangladesh.

Boasting an intricate network of creeks and tributaries weaving through the terrain, the Sundarbans captivates tourists embarking on boat rides through its waterways. Little do they know that the elusive big cat and saltwater crocodile silently observe their every move with a keen eye.

The name “Sundarbans” itself translates to “beautiful forests” in the local language, and the delta lives up to its name with mangrove trees lazily gracing the mudflats. These trees, including the dominant Sundari trees with distinctive roots rising above the water for respiration, add to the enchanting beauty of this natural wonder, especially during the monsoon season.
