About Sundarbans

Sundarbans National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world's largest mangrove forest, where the Bengal tiger has adapted to swim between islands and feed on fish and crabs — behaviours unique to this population. The labyrinthine waterways of the Sundarbans delta create a landscape that feels more mythical than real. Boat safaris through the misty channels offer the constant possibility of a tiger emerging from the mangrove edge.
