Experience the Sundarbans

A tour of the Sundarbans is equal parts peaceful and adventurous.  On the one hand, you are far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city; the only traffic fishing boats on the rivers and the incessant horn honking is replaced by bird calls.  On the other, you’re visiting a jungle, complete with predatory wildlife including the famed Royal Bengal Tiger.



Even if you don’t spot any tell-tale stripes, there is still plenty of wildlife to make traveling the Sundarban Forest interesting.  The birds alone are worth the journey.  Hundreds of species of birds call the Sundarbans home, to hear all their unique voices is something you won’t soon forget.  There are 8 species of Kingfishers alone, not to mention Parakeets, Herons, Pelicans, and Storks. If you are even remotely interested in Bird Watching, a trip to the Sundarban Forest is a must.



If you’re hoping to see animals of the four-legged variety, you will not be disappointed.  Chital deer are frequently spotted dashing gracefully amongst the trees while crocodiles roam the banks and small monkeys climb through the leafy branches above.
