Why visit the Sunderbans?

Sundarbans has got the world's largest coastal mangrove forest (an area of about 10,000 km2), with enormous beauty shared between India (4,000 km2) and Bangladesh (6,000 km2). Sundarbans was declared as a core area of Sundarbans Tiger Reserve in the year 1973, a National Park on 4th May, 1989 and recently Sundarbans has been enlisted among the finalists in the New Seven Wonders of Nature. The interconnected network of waterways in Sundarbans makes almost every corner of the forest accessible by ferries and boats. This gives the traveler a good opportunity for sightseeing and getting thrilled by the exotic wizardry of the jungle. The Indian part of the forest is estimated to be about 40 percent, while the Bangladeshi part is 60 percent. To the south the forest meets the Bay of Bengal; to the east it is bordered by the Baleswar River and to the north there is a sharp interface with intensively cultivated land. The natural drainage in the upstream areas, other than the main river channels, is everywhere impeded by extensive embankments polders. Rivers in the Sundarbans are meeting places of salt water and freshwater. Thus, it is a region of transition between the freshwater of the rivers originating from the Ganges and the saline water of the Bay of Bengal It is believed that most of the families have been attacked by the man-eater tigers in one of the villages (the Widow Village) of Sundarbans, which is a home to India's resilient Tiger Widows. For this reason, fishermen need to take a special permission from the reserve forest office department for fishing into the core zone forests. This isn't to scare you; you can freely go to Sundarbans without any worry.

Several novels have been written by authors in the setting of Sundarbans that are based on the rigors of the lives of villages and fishermen which include The Mystery of the Black Jungle by Emilio Salgari, Sundarban Jungle has been named after the large mangrove trees Sundari (Heritiera littoralis). You shouldn't miss out on sighting Phytoplanktons – the small micro-organisms that reflect light in the dark new moon, for that you need to take night safari in Sundarbans (although timing for entering forest is from Sunrise to Sunset but you may go and take a short round beside Sajnekhali range between 8 to 9 PM as a dinner cruise). Some famous trees of Sundarban Mangrove forest - Dhundal tree, Mangrove cannon-ball (Xylocarpus Granatum) A small to medium size tree that grows in marshes of estuaries and creeks. The large fruits resemble cannon-balls. The tree is monoecious or rarely dioecious. Native to India, in Sundarban. Pasur tree – (Xylocarpus Mekongensis) of Sundarban. also see Golpata Tree (Nypa fruticans) Garan Tree -(Ceriops decandra) and Kankra Tree(Bruguiera gymnor hiza)
