Sundarbans West Bengal

Dominated by the legendary amphibian Royal Bengal Tigers, Sunderbans is the largest mangrove forests and delta in the world formed by three great river systems: Brahmaputra, Ganges and Meghna. Considered as one of the last true wildernesses remaining on our planet Earth, this tidal country beholds a unique ecosystem totally governed by the diurnal tides resulting into the thriving arena for a myriad life forms – from mammals to the vertebrates. Designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sunderbans is contiguous to Bangladesh. The legendary Bonobibi deity revered and worshiped both by the Hindus and Muslims marks a remarkable departure from the usual notion which prevents Muslims from worshiping any idol.

Being the only Mangrove Tiger Reserve in the world, Sunderbans is conserved as a Biosphere Reserve. The 4 million people inhabiting in about 54 islands scattered across this vast landscape depend heavily for their livelihood on this mysterious and hostile forest terrain.
Come, discover the magical delta!
