Sundarban Kolkata Tour Package
Explore Kolkata & The Sundarbans: Culture Meets Wilderness
Kolkata – The Cultural Capital of India
Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta, is the vibrant capital of West Bengal, located along the Hooghly River. Known as the “City of Joy”, it serves as the cultural, commercial, and educational hub of East India. The city is home to the Port of Kolkata, India’s oldest operating port and only major riverine port.
Kolkata has a rich colonial past—once a group of villages under the Nawab of Bengal during Mughal rule, it became a key trading post for the East India Company in 1690. The city was the capital of British India until 1911 and played a significant role in the Indian independence movement.
Post-independence, Kolkata faced economic stagnation but remains a powerhouse of education, science, and culture, with prestigious institutions like the Indian Museum, Victoria Memorial, National Library of India, and various scientific societies such as the Geological Survey of India and Botanical Survey of India. While cricket is popular, the city is uniquely passionate about association football and other sports.
The Sundarbans – A Natural Wonder
Just a few hours from Kolkata lies the breathtaking Sundarbans, the world’s largest tidal halophytic mangrove forest, stretching across eastern India. A part of the Sundarbans delta, this region forms at the confluence of the Ganges, and features a maze of rivers, creeks, mudflats, and salt-tolerant forests.
The Sundarbans National Park, located in West Bengal, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (since 1997) and serves as a National Park, Tiger Reserve, and Biosphere Reserve. The name “Sundarban” comes from the Sundari tree (Heritiera fomes) and means “beautiful forest” in Bengali.
Covering around 4,110 sq. km, with approximately 1,700 sq. km occupied by water bodies, the Sundarbans is famous for the Royal Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris), along with a diverse array of wildlife including spotted deer, estuarine crocodiles, snakes, and over 260 species of birds. Despite centuries of agriculture and human settlement, the remaining mangroves are vital for protecting this delicate ecosystem and preserving endangered species.
