Welcome to Sunderban National Park

A Short History of Sunderbans National Park

Sundarban National Park in West Bengal is part of the world’s largest mangrove forest and a globally famous tiger reserve and biosphere reserve. Spread across the vast Sundarbans delta formed by the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is known for its creeks, mudflats, islands, and rich wildlife. A Sundarban tour offers thrilling boat safaris through mangrove channels where visitors may spot the Royal Bengal Tiger, saltwater crocodiles, deer, reptiles, and rare birds like brahminy kites and whistling teals.

The Sundarban forest gets its name from the Sundari trees, a dominant mangrove species adapted to saline and waterlogged conditions. The park is home to diverse flora and fauna, including fishing cats, wild boar, macaques, monitor lizards, king cobras, and endangered river turtles. Popular tourist zones include Sajnekhali, Netidhopani, Kalash Island, Henry Island, and nearby villages like Pakhiralay and Dayapur, known for eco-tourism and traditional honey collection.

Recognized as a wildlife sanctuary (1977), tiger reserve under Project Tiger (1973), and national park (1984), Sundarban is one of India’s top wildlife destinations. The best time to visit Sundarban National Park is from November to March when the weather is pleasant and wildlife sightings are more frequent. Travelers can explore the region through Sundarban tour packages, weekend tours, and wildlife holiday packages from Kolkata for an unforgettable mangrove and tiger safari experience.
