Spanning 4,110 square kilometers, it is a complex network of waterways, mangrove islands, and swamps, accessible primarily by boat. Renowned for its Royal Bengal Tigers, the Sundarbans is also home to various bird species, spotted deer, crocodiles, and snakes, highlighting a fragile balance between nature and human activity.

The best time to visit Sundarbans National Park is during winter (December to February) when crocodiles can often be seen sunbathing on mudflats. For birdwatching, visit between September and March to catch migrating birds. In summer, with natural water sources drying up, deer, wild boars, and even tigers may be spotted near artificial ponds by the watchtowers.
