Covering a massive area of
2585 sq km, Sunderban is home to the much acclaimed Royal Bengal tiger. It also houses a large number of highly endangered species that include
aquatic mammals and reptiles. This tiger reserve has numerous creeks and tributaries that come from three rivers namely
Ganges,
Brahmaputra and Meghna. A UNESCO world heritage site, this tiger reserve is located at the southern most tip of West Bengal, the place where the wetland meets the glorious sea.
Apart from being the largest tiger reserve and National Park in the Indian Subcontinent, it also has the largest
mangrove forest and has an unique estuarine mangrove ecosystem that has amazed environmentalists to a great extent.
Unlike other National Park and Tiger Reserves in India where jeeps and roads serve for sightseeing purposes, Sunderbans uses boats for transportation and sightseeing.
