Kolkata & Sunderbans Experience
November – March
The Sunderbans forest lies in the delta formed by the confluence of Brahmaputra, Padma and Meghna rivers across southern Bangladesh and southern West Bengal. A UNESCO world heritage site, it is home to the largest population of tigers in the world. It is also the largest single block of tidal mangrove forest in the world. The Sunderbans is intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways, mudflats and small islands of salt-tolerant mangrove forests. The dominant mangrove species Heritiera fomes is locally known as Sundari. The Sunderbans provides a unique ecosystem and a rich wildlife habitat. Tigers, Fishing Cats, Macaques, Wild Boars, Common Grey Mongooses, Foxes, Jungle Cats, Pangolins and Chital are found in abundance in the Sunderbans.
