Sundarbans National Park

Sundarbans National Park

Sundarbans National Park (The Sundarbans) was inscribed as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in 1997. In Bengali, Sundarbans means "beautiful forest" or "the most beautiful forest." The park is one of the largest mangrove forests in the world, covering an area of 140,000 hectares. It is located in the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers in the Bay of Bengal, and it adjoins the Sundarbans World Heritage site in India, which was designated in 1987. This area also serves as a habitat where numerous marine animals spend their incubation period before returning to the sea.

Sundarbans National Park is filled with tidal rivers, mudflats, and salt-tolerant mangroves, providing an excellent example of a dynamic ecological process. It is world-renowned for its biodiversity, including over 260 species of birds, Bengal tigers, and various rare and endangered species (such as saltwater crocodiles and Indian pythons). The Sundarbans is an ideal destination for tourism, leisure, and scientific research. Here, you can photograph the famous Bengal tiger, observe wildlife, navigate through the jungle by boat, listen to the sounds of nature, and explore the wild. It’s a cherished experience to enjoy the tranquility of the world’s largest mangrove forest, take in the stunning scenery, and immerse yourself in nature.
