Sundarban means a beautiful forest; in Bengali. It has taken its fair share of history during the Mughal era and prior. Stretching over 10,000 sq. km in area it lies in the nation of Bangladesh and partly in India as well. Home to a diverse ecosystem, over a third of the total area of Sundarban, is drenched in water. This results in the dominating mangrove forest and mixed aquatic life in these areas.
The other parts constitute a large and unbroken chain of tropical and subtropical forests with patches of settlements in them. The elegant view of the interconnected waterways and the sandy forests will give us an undisturbed touch like nowhere here. Spotting the royal Bengal tiger here is also the most probable among many other safaris in the world.

Furthermore, there are over 150 different commercially significant fishes available in the water giving the locals a well-needed economic support.
