About Sundarbans National Park
Sundarbans National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located in West Bengal and is world-famous for being the largest mangrove forest on Earth and the natural home of the Royal Bengal Tiger. Spread across 1,330 sq km, it forms part of the world’s largest delta created by the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers.
The park is a unique blend of dense mangroves, tidal waterways, and rich biodiversity, offering a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experience. Apart from tigers, it is also home to saltwater crocodiles, fishing cats, spotted deer, and an incredible variety of birds.
