Practical information on Sundarban
Reviews of Sundarban
South of the state of western Bengal, the region of Sundarbans is made up of canals with a large biodiversity. It takes its name from a plant present in the mangrove forest.
My suggestion:
Tour operators offer pairing up the Sundarbans with discovering Kolkata (Calcutta). Visiting the mangrove on your own is indeed complex.
My review
For the summer holidays, numerous Bengalis head to the Sundarbans "beaches", south of western Bengal. During my trip to India, it was the only landscape of its type that I saw. The Sundarbans forest is unique in the world for its size. It has countless canals at the Ganges Delta. They flow into the Gulf of Bengal.
On the agenda, "bathing" (careful, remain clothed, we all agree), boat on the canals, observing fauna and flora and visiting the tigers in the Sundarbans Tiger Reserve.
If you are staying in Kolkata for a while, for a job or an internship, I strongly encourage you to visit this region. If you don't have much time, pass this one by, unless you are looking for an area off the beaten track.
