A unique ecosystem, a wealth of natural wonder, and a surreal experience in the wilderness- Sunderbans promises you all this and more! The largest mangrove delta in the world with a maze of interconnected streams & waterways, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to Sunderbans National Park- a perfect place for Tiger Safari in India. Located in West Bengal with a major portion stretching into Bangladesh, the low lying islands of Sunderbans beckon you for a taste of mystery & adventure.
Come along for an exciting escapade in the realm of the Royal Bengal Tiger, where the sounds of the forests take over your senses and allow you to be one with nature.
Sunderbans forest sprawls over an area of around 10,000 km2 from India to Bangladesh, the park is located in an area of around 1400 km2 and is a water-logged jungle. Its ever-changing topography, due to tidal waterways & silt deposits, is dotted with little islands, sandbars, mudflats, and mangrove swamps. The thick tangles of Sundari trees, an endangered mangrove species, lend the forest its name. Sunderbans abound with around 26 species of salt-tolerant mangroves.
A designated tiger reserve under Project Tiger, the park is home to over 100 magnificent tigers stealthily roaming the terrain. But it is not just the tigers, a host of other animals from macaques & leopards to wild boars, chitals, fishing cats, and pangolins inhabit the park. Estuarine crocodiles, rare Ganges Dolphins, and endangered Olive Ridley turtles can also be seen here.
A Ramsar Site, protected under the Ramsar Convention, the wetlands of Sundarbans are home to around 286 species of birds. Rose-ringed parakeets, kingfishers, partridges, herons, Caspian terns, seagulls, plovers, and pintails fill the silence of the forests with their whistles & birdsongs.
The only way to navigate through Sunderbans National Park is on a boat. One of the most unique & adventurous experiences in India, Sunderbans Boat Safari takes you through many creeks and tributaries that wander into the thick mangrove jungles. Do keep your senses at alert for the tigers lurking in the forest. Listen to the birdsong, spot the saltwater crocodiles sunning on the mudflats, and lucky ones might get to see a tiger roaming the banks or swimming gracefully across the creeks.
Sajnekhali Watch Tower- A great place to spot the birds of Sunderbans
Kalash Island- Visit here during winters when the island turns into nesting grounds for Olive Ridley Turtles
Netidhopani- Ruins dating back to over 400 centuries.
Burirdabri- Walk on the mangrove cage trail that leads to a watchtower from where you may see the Sunderbans extending into Bangladesh.
The forest is open year-round, but the best time to visit Sunderbans National Park is in winter from October to April. During winters, the animals come out of the dense jungles to the mudflats to get some sun.
By Air - Netaji Subhash Chandra Airport, Kolkata, around 100 km away, is the closest airport.
By Train - Canning Railway Station, around 48 km from Sunderbans National Park, is the nearest railhead. Then take a bus or cab to Godkhali Jetty for a boat ride to the park.
By Road - A well-maintained network of roads & highways connect you to Godkhali, the gateway to the Sunderbans. Thereafter it is by boats all the way!
