Sunderban National Park

Sunderban National Park stands with pride in UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites. It derives its name from Sundari trees, which grows here in plenty. It is located in West Bengal, India and spans a huge area of 1330 sq. km.

It is a national park, a tiger reserve, a biosphere and has a thick mangrove cover. With as many as seven rivers in this region, the eco-geography is very rich. Something called mudflats is a great tourist attraction wherein one gets to observe aquatic life during the low-tides, for eg, sea anemones, horseshoe crabs and even small octopuses.

Being a tiger reserve, tiger is the main animal found here; a special feature being – you can see the tigers sun bathing if you happen to visit between November and February. Ample number of birds (black capped kingfisher, brahminy kites, herring gulls, cotton teals, northern pintails etc.) reptiles (king cobras, pythons, Russell vipers, crocodiles etc.) and amphibians reside here. The park is a home to several endangered species like the ground turtle, ridley turtle, gangetic dolphin etc.

You can visit this rich heritage of India anytime throughout the year and come home with heart-pounding adventures.
