About Sundarbans National Park

The Sundarbans is the largest single block of tidal mangrove forest in the world. The Sundarbans is a UNESCO World Heritage Site covering parts of Bangladesh and the Indian State of West Bengal. These mangroves have a substantial tiger population in a distinct ecological setting. These forests have salt water crocodiles, estuarine and marine turtles and a number of bird species. Besides tiger, the reserve has fishing cat, spotted deer, and rhesus monkey, wild pigs and myriad birds.

The Sundarbans are isolated with no forest connection to other tiger-occupied forests on main land. Hence, there is heavy biotic pressure for forest resources. On average 500 quintals of honey and 30 quintals of wax are collected each year by local people under licence from Forest Department. The habitat is traversed by many narrow tidal channels forming small to large islands. Tigers frequently cross these islands in search of prey and man-tiger interactions are common.

2. When is the best time to Visit Sundarbans?

Ideally November to March is a very good time to visit the Sundarbans. This is because the temperatures are pleasant and one can enjoy the views of many birds and animals. You may find a salt water crocodile sunning itself on the river banks in the winter months. Crocodiles are cold blooded animals and need the energy of the sun to increase their body temperature.  Birds are also very common during these months.

During the summer months, one can spot deer, monkeys, crocodiles, birds and specially tigers. During summer months the movement of the big cats like tigers increase and they frequent the banks of the canal for water and prey. During the rainy season visit to Sunderbans are best avoided totally. Boat or Cruise Packages are also to be avoided due to storms/heavy rain.
