The Sundarbans.. tigers, deer and swamp forests are the largest in the world

Arabiaweather.com- Ismail Ghasmi- The Sundarbans is the largest coastal belt of mangrove forests in the world. The forest stretches 80 kilometers from the coast towards the remote interior regions of Bangladesh and India. The Sundarbans has been declared one of the most important UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The forests are not just mangrove swamps but include a number of the last remaining stands of mighty forests that once covered the Gangetic Plain. The Sundarbans cover an area of more than 10,000 square kilometres, about a third of the swamp area.

Since 1966 the Sundarbans has been a wildlife reserve and it is estimated that there are over 400 Royal Bengal Tigers and around 30,000 deer spotted in the area.

Heron Point is one of the most popular tourist destinations for those who wish to discover this area and watch tigers and other wild animals, as well as the Katka area, which is a base for safari trips, and a good spot for tiger-seeing and bird-watching.

Tin Kona Island is also very popular for spotting wildlife, while Doplarchar Island is famous for its fishing potential.

For people who visit the Sundarbans National Park from West Bengal in India, their visit should be from the Sudhanyakhali Watchtower, where most tigers and other wild animals such as deer and crocodiles are seen.

There are other watch towers such as Sajnekhali, which also houses a museum and a crocodile park, the Sajnekhali Bakiralaya Tower, the Dubanki Tower, the Baghpatpur Crocodile Project, and Kanak is ideal for watching olive ridley turtles.

Apart from visiting these tourist destinations for nature viewing, you can also take some time out to a nearby village and learn about the lifestyle of the locals.
