Explore the Sundarbans

The Sundarbans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the world’s largest mangrove forest, home to over 78 mangrove species and the highest concentration of Royal Bengal Tigers. Spanning 10,000 km² across India and Bangladesh, it supports diverse wildlife, including tigers, aquatic mammals, birds, and reptiles.

The Royal Bengal Tigers here are adapted to mangroves, swimming and hunting fish, crabs, and water monitor lizards. Aquatic mammals include Ganges dolphins, Irrawaddy dolphins, and finless porpoises. Birdwatchers can spot species like black-necked storks, Asian open-bill storks, white ibises, and brown-winged kingfishers, especially in Sajnekhali.
