SUNDARBAN


SUNDARBAN

Sundarbun is the biggest mangrove forest in the world. Sundarban is in South West part of Bangladesh, in the district of greater Khulna. India shares a bit of the forest with Bangladesh. The total area is about 38,000 square kilometers. Sundarban is a large block of littoral forests. The beauty lies in its unique natural surroundings. The Sundarbans are a part of the world's largest delta formed by the rivers Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna. Thousands of meandering streams, creeks, rivers and estuaries have enhanced its charm. For miles and miles, the lofty treetops form an unbroken canopy, while nearer the ground, works of high and ebb tide marked on the soil and tree trunks and the many varieties of the natural mangrove forest have much to offer to an inquisitive visitor. Sundarban is the natural habitat of the world’s famous Royal Bengal tiger, spotted deer, crocodiles, jungle fowl and many more. Migratory flock of Siberian ducks flying over thousands of sailboats loaded with timber, fuel wood, honey, shell and fish further add to the serene natural beauty of the Sundarban.


Sundarbans adventure allows you to trek on foot through the forest, following local workers, known as maualis, as they go in search of the honey produced by the formidable honeybees of this region. The honey-harvesting season lasts for two months, but tour operators tend to only organise a couple of trips in total, and normally only at the start of April.
