You can plan a whole day trip to Kanak Island and enjoy the beach and the charming island of Sundarban National Park.

Observe the Flora and Fauna from Various Watchtowers of Sundarban

Not many species are visible from the boat tours the national park houses, so, in order to make your visit worthwhile, there are many watchtowers built in different islands of Sundarban. With Dobanki, Sajnekhali, and Sudhanyakhali located at a convenient distance, you will definitely find a crowd here, unfortunately making it hard to get a chance to spot animals through your binoculars without bumping with others.

However, there are other watchtowers that are less visited, on a positive note, you may get to spot rare species since there won’t be less interference from the howling visitors.

Sundarbans National Park: A Complete Guide

Suprabhat Dutta / Getty Images

Things to Do

Watchtower sightings, organized tours, where to camp, where to stay nearby, how to get there, accessibility, tips for your visit, sundarban national park (west bengal).

Sundarbans National Park—a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is best known for its magnificent tangle of mangrove trees, encompassing the largest mangrove forest in the world. The park spans 10,000 square kilometers (3,861 square miles) at the mouth of the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers, which separates the countries of India and Bangladesh and borders the Bay of Bengal. Approximately 35 percent of the park lies in India, and the remainder is located in Bangladesh. On the Indian side, 102 islands are located within Sundarbans, and just over half of them are inhabited.

The word "sundarban" means "beautiful forest" in the local Bengali dialect. This swampy forest provides a home to a rare breed of Royal Bengal Tigers know to be strong swimmers. Long stretches of nylon net fencing have been installed on forest boundaries to prevent the tigers from venturing into the villages, as it's the only place in the world where tigers still hunt humans for food. Don't go expecting to see one though, as the native tigers usually remain hidden within the park's tiger reserve, a core zone where commercial and tourist activities are prohibited. Along the outskirts, in the Sajnekhali Wildlife Sanctuary, however, visitors can expect sightings of various reptiles, monkeys, wild boar, rare birds, and deer.

The real enjoyment of visiting Sundarbans National Park comes from appreciating its pristine, natural beauty. Sadly, some people are disappointed by their visit, usually because they go with high expectations of spotting tigers. Wildlife spotting is hampered by the fact that you cannot explore the national park on foot or by vehicle. There are no jeep safaris and boats cannot touch down anywhere along the river banks inside the national park.

Instead, take time to wander through enchanted villages, discover the local way of life, and take part in cultural performances. You can even sample honey collected by local villagers in the Sundarbans region.

Tourists can also visit the game watchtowers, the most popular of which—due to their proximity—are Sajnekhali, Sudhanyakhali, and Dobanki. Or, spend the day cruising the waterways by boat on a wager-guided safari, in search of monkeys, crocodiles, water monitor lizards, wild boar, otter, spotted deer, and birds.

Watchtowers located throughout the park provide a way for visitors to safely view wildlife. Three easily accessible towers offer DIY, hassle-free nature viewing for independent travelers. Sajnekhali is a favorite watchtower of birdwatchers, Sudhanyakhali offers you a decent chance of seeing tigers and spotted deer, and Dobanki has a 20-foot-high enclosed canopy for panoramic views of the park and its wildlife.

Other remote watchtowers require a full day of travel by boat to get to, but the reward for the journey is a pristine natural experience, free of crowds. Burir Dabri watchtower is located on the Raimangal River. It's notably picturesque and has a canopy walk over the mangroves that leads to a viewpoint. The ruins of a 400-year-old temple can be found at Netidhopani watchtower. Visitor numbers are limited here and special permits are required. Bonnie Camp is the highest watchtower in Sundarbans, at 50 feet tall. This scenic watchtower takes about six hours to reach from Sajnekhali, yet a rest house provides an overnight stay. Jhingekhali is located on the easternmost fringe of Sundarbans National Park and is often overlooked for its extreme remoteness. Still, this watchtower offers you the best chance of seeing a tiger, as well as several species of rare birds.

There are various ways to go about visiting Sundarbans National Park, and for those who find independent travel to be logistically complicated, an organized tour provides a good option. Organized tours offer a predefined itinerary, including day tours, overnight tours, or multiple-day tours, with accommodations included. Guided tours typically include safari-style boat trips on the waterways to visit watchtowers and villages. And, most tours originate from Kolkata and drop you back off in the same location.

Before embarking on an organized tour, keep in mind a few considerations, like flexibility and privacy. Boat trips organized by hotels and tour operators will usually book a full group of people. Depending on the group's demographics, this could mean a noisy and boisterous experience that spoils the serenity of your visit. Additionally, the bigger boats are not suitable for the narrow waterways, where you're more likely to spot the park's wildlife. If this is a concern, it may be best to make independent arrangements and hire a private guide.

Due to the wildness of this national park, primitive camping is not permitted on the grounds and many of the regional "jungle camps" do not offer tented options either. The one exception is Sunderban Tiger Camp , an eco-resort that offers glamping in canvas-covered huts. Each hut is 261 square feet and can accommodate up to four people on twin beds with Wellness Health Rest mattresses. Each hut has a western-style toilet, cold showers, and a hot water geyser option. Purified water, free Wi-Fi, and a wake-up service are complimentary with your stay.

Given the ecological sensitivity of the Sundarbans area, most accommodations are simple, rather than luxurious, with an eco-friendly focus and a village feel. Power is limited (many hotels run on either solar or electricity produced by a generator), and the bathwater is not always hot. You can also book a houseboat for a completely different experience.

• United 21 Resort-Sunderban : United 21 offers 18 deluxe, standard, or triple-bedded rooms set in a serene jungle atmosphere. All rooms come complete with air conditioning and modern amenities. An on-site restaurant provides a sampling of several Indian cuisines and jungle safaris can be organized upon request.
• Sunderban Mangrove Retreat : Located in the Jamespore village on Satjalia island, this serene eco-friendly stay sits on the bank of the river. Choose from one of four air-conditioned executive rooms, eight air-conditioned, double-bedded cottages, or ten non-air-conditioned huts. This pristine property has four on-site ponds for fishing, and the restaurant provides local cuisine, including a catch of the day like crabs, prawns, and a wide variety of fish. The Mangrove Retreat also has two motor-driven boats that you can book for a wildlife water cruise.
• Sundarban Houseboat : Book a one-night, two-night, or three-night stay, complete with a tour, on a Sundarban houseboat. Rooms on the boat come complete with air-conditioning, LED televisions, attached bathrooms, and freshly-cooked, exotic meals. Multi-day tours include island hopping and visiting remote villages, cruising the mangrove forest, and stopping at the watchtowers.

Sundarbans National Park can only be accessed by boat, as the main entrance is on Sajnekhali Island, where all entry fees are paid. It's located about 100 kilometers (62 miles) southeast of Kolkata in the state of West Bengal , where Netaji Subhash International Airport at Dumdum is situated.

Unfortunately, independent travel to the park is quite laborious. It's best to go either by boat, car, or bus, as the train—a local train that does not take reservations—may be very crowded. You can drive from Kolkata to Godkhali, Sonakhali, Namkhana, Canning, Raidighi, and Najat. Once you arrive, take a ferry or hire a boat to Sajnekhali.

Public buses depart hourly (starting at 6.30 a.m.) from Kolkata to Sonakhali on a three-hour ride. From Sonakhali, take an auto-rickshaw to Godhkali, the gateway village to Sundarbans, and then another boat to Sajnekhali.

Because Sundarbans National Park is remote in nature and surrounded by water, handicapped individuals must book an outfitter who offers special services that cater to their needs. One such option is Rudra Nature’s Sprout Boat. Nature's Sprout offers packages for "differently-abled" individuals that journey only to accessible destinations, while catering to the medical needs of its travelers. They also provide doctors and emergency equipment, should something go array.

• Foreigners need a permit and a valid passport to enter Sundarbans National Park. A permit can be obtained from the forest department at Sajnekhali or at the West Bengal Tourism Office in Kolkata. If you travel with a tour company, they will make these arrangements for you.
• There's a boat entry fee for all park zones, and it's compulsory to hire one guide per boat.
• Pack warm clothes if you're visiting from November to February, as the weather is cool and dry.
• During the summer (March through June) expect hot and humid weather, and July through September brings rains along with the monsoon season.
• All plastic is banned in this region, although this rule has been difficult to enforce. Leave plastic water bottles and bags at home, and don't litter.
• Make sure to carry plenty of cash, as there are no ATMs in the park.
• Watchtowers are enclosed by fences and are often full of loud, boisterous tourists.
• Most people spend at least one night at Sundarbans. By staying longer, however, you'll be able to visit more areas, walk or cycle around the villages, go bird watching, and see cultural performances.

The Burirdabri Watch Tower provides a stunning view, and a mangrove cage trail and mud walk lead to Raimongal View Point. During the mud stroll, observe ground life like snails, crabs, and mollusks.

Reach the wooden watchtower overlooking Bangladesh, where the river Raimongal serves as the international border, by walking over wooden bridges and through a mud cage. From here, one can see Bangladesh’s Sundarban region.

This watchtower in Sundarban is a must-see treasure despite being removed from the city’s main attractions. Ten people can fit inside at once.

Netidhopani Watch Tower

A fascinating mythology about Behula and Lakhindar can be heard in the region where this watch tower resides. The 400-year-old Shiva Temple’s ruins and the road that King Pratapaditya constructed to protect the coastline can now be seen from the watchtower.

This route is thought to be concealed within the forest, covered in dirt and trash. This watchtower, which can accommodate 20 people at once and has a sweet water pond close by, is an interesting place to explore in Sundarban.

Gajikhali (The Small River Chennal)

The Sundarbans’ Gajikhali tiny river channel adds to the beauty and variety of this rare mangrove forest. One is exposed to stunning vistas of the nearby lush foliage and abundant fauna as they go through the labyrinthine waterways of Gajikhali.

The Sundarbans’ captivating beauty can be seen up close in this tranquil river channel, making it a must-visit location for nature and animal lovers.

Jharkhali Watch Tower ( Tiger Project )

It is simple to reach Jharkhali from Kolkata, a well-known Sundarbans village close to Basanti town, using the Basanti highway.

Due to man-tiger conflicts and other tiger-related problems in this area, a “Tiger Rescue & Rehabilitation Centre” covering 22 bighas was established. The facility hosts 4 tigers with experimental artificial breeding setups.

In addition, there is a watchtower, a butterfly garden, a children’s garden, and a mini zoo. During a day trip by car, families can take advantage of interesting picnic locations along the rivers. Additionally, inexpensive small launches are offered for quick joy rides inside the Sundarbans.

How Can You Get to Sundarbans? A Boat Journey to the Mangrove Meadow

Sundarbans National Park is in the lovely state of West Bengal, around 100 kilometers southeast of Kolkata. To get there, start a mesmerizing boat journey. The main entrance is located on the alluring Sajnekhali Island, which is closest to the Netaji Subhash International Airport in Dumdum.

Travel by car, bus, or scenic boat instead of the sometimes crowded trains without reservations. Drive to Godkhali, Canning, Namkhana, Raidighi or Sonakhali from Kolkata and then board a ferry or charter a boat to get to Sajnekhali from there.

Enjoy the scenic delights of the hourly public buses departing from Kolkata that will take you to Sonakhali in a wonderful three hours. From there, take an auto-rickshaw to Godkhali, the Sundarbans’ gateway village, where you’ll board another boat for the picturesque Sajnekhali.

Sundarban Trip Planning: Budget and Factors to Consider

Visitors are invited to take advantage of Sundarbans National Park’s wealth and see how the wonders of nature cohabit peacefully there. It’s critical to coordinate with your Sundarban tour requirements and the spending capacity of your group. 

Prioritize your needs before requesting prices from your travel agent and checking the validity of online reviews. A well-planned strategy guarantees a memorable and cost-effective trip in the captivating Sundarbans.

Package costs normally range between 4000 and 13000 INR, depending on the type of lodging and boat that you select.

Whenever you are customizing your package, take the following into account:

• Choose how many days and nights you want to stay in the Sundarbans.
• Whether to include all meals or just breakfast and dinner is up to you.
• Go for an easy-going lodge or resort-style comfort.
• Select an AC car or local transportation.
• Indulge in the preferred activities, such as village hikes, boat rides, or excursions to mangrove forests.
• Decide if you require a guide for the entire trip or just certain activities.

Top Tips for Your Sundarbans Adventure

For your trip to the Sundarbans, consider the following advice:

Entry Requirements: Before entering if you’re a foreigner, make sure you have a permit and a current passport if you are a foreigner. Make reservations for permits with a tour operator or the forest department.

Boat Entry and Guide: Recall that a boat entry fee is required and that you must hire a guide for each boat in order to ensure your safety and navigation.

No Plastic Policy: Because plastic is prohibited in the area, refrain from bringing plastic bottles and bags to aid the environment.

Watchtower Awareness: Be mindful of the watchtowers during your visit because they could get busy and noisy.

Weather-Related Clothes: If you’re traveling from November to February, bring warm clothing. From March through June, expect hot, muggy weather, and from July to September, monsoon rains.

Select a Reliable and Trusted Travel Agency: If you’re utilizing a travel agency, go for one that specializes in visits to the Sundarbans as they can arrange transportation, offer qualified guides, and guarantee your safety at all times.

Located in the southeast corner of the Sundarbans, this clean, beautiful, and serene beach is often interrupted by tiger roars. The sandy beach is spotted with red crabs and the area contains three tiger hills. It is also a great base for safaris, and bird-watching. If you are lucky, you may even spot a Royal Bengal Tiger! Apart from these, from a historical aspect, remnants of salt cultivation from the British period can still be found here.

Hiron Point

Hiron Point is the prime spot from where the diverse wildlife of the Sundarbans can be explored. It is a protected sanctuary for wildlife, and visitors can take a walk through the long wooden walkway to explore the various species of monkeys, deer, and reptiles. There is also a rest house near Hiron Point, the Neelkomol.

Kachikhali .

Kachikhali will give you a scope to absorb the raw natural beauty of the Sundarbans and feel the essence of the wildlife sanctuary located there. It is situated 14km east of Kotka and features a dense forest facing the Bay of Bengal. It is populated with numerous marine and land creatures that one can see. Kachikhali is also known as Tiger Point and has a rest house.   

Karamjal is another place that is known for its dense population of wildlife. It is a popular tourist spot where people come to see the various species of wildlife roaming about the Sundarbans. This place is also used as the Deer Breeding Centre and Wildlife Reserving Centre. You can take a look at the diverse wildlife including dolphins, crocodiles, deer, wild boars, ducks, monkeys, and the majestic tigers.   

Dublar Chor

Dublar Chor is a highly popular island in the Sundarbans, owing to its various types of fish, festivities, and breath-taking sunsets. Almost half of the year, this island remains submerged underwater. During the third week of November, under the full moon, the Hindu community observes their holy festival, Rash Mela, and devotees from all over the country come to join. However, this holy occasion is no longer open for tourists. 

Mesmerising islands to visit in Bangladesh

How to go? It is not practicable to go to the Sundarbans directly from Dhaka, although there were a few ships that used to take this route in the past, but now they are mostly halted or irregular. Moreover, choosing this method of travelling would stretch your trip to 5-6 days on a ship. The easiest and most practiced method is to take a bus to Khulna or Mongla and then your trip provider will set you up on a ship. Although Khulna has better facilities in many ways, the completion of The Padma Bridge has made Mongla a popular docking point as well. Alternatively, you can travel to Jessore by plane and then take a one-hour bus ride to Khulna. Most tour operators provide a 2-3 days tour and then drop guests back at the spot where they were received from. Furthermore, to visit the Sundarbans, a forest permit is required.      Things to know While visiting a forest, there are a few things you ought to keep in mind. Firstly, your attire must be light and simple, and bright colours should be avoided at any cost as they attract wildlife. Furthermore, perfumes cannot be worn. Silence must be maintained at all times and people should walk in a straight line and stay together. Most importantly, visitors must have sharp eyes and stay vigilant all the time as many unprecedented mishaps can occur. Taking a dip in the water is prohibited and so is roaming about without the supervision of forest guards.

A guide to visiting sundarbans – world’s largest mangrove forest in bangladesh.

Sundarbans National park is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and grants sanctuary to around 100 alluring Royal Bengal Tigers, which are still believed to hunt humans for food. Although these rare breeds of strong swimmers are out of sight and remain hidden in the tiger reserves, solo travel still entails signing up for a travel guide.

“Sundarban” is a Bengali word that translates to “ beautiful forest .” It is the most extensive tangle of mangrove trees, at the mouth of Ganges , Brahmaputra , and Meghna Rivers, in the Bay of Bengal. The magnificent forest spans up to 10,000 square kilometers (3,900 sq. miles), of which 35% lies in West Bengal, India , and the rest of it in Khulna division, Bangladesh . An archipelago of 102 islands prevails in the Indian segment of Sundarbans, of which only 54 are inhabited.

The remains of the city of Chand Sadagar in Baghmara Forest Block, the ruins at Netidhopani, the Sundarbans village drawings by Frederic P. Layard, and other historical ramshackle in the Sundarbans give an idea of the history of this delta. If you are planning to solo travel, these spots are a significant tourist attraction.

In the Mughal period, sometime around 200-300 AD, the emperors leased the lands to the residents of Sundarbans. Akbar’s army also warded off criminals to the forests, where tigers later attacked these refugees. Mughals lost most buildings to the hands of salt smugglers and Portuguese pirates in the 16th and 17th centuries.

The British East India Company obtained proprietary rights to the area in 1757, and a Forest Department was established later in the 1800s. Soon in 1865, major forestland was declared reserved under the Forest Act, 1865, and the remaining portions were declared reserved the following year.

Why you should visit Sundarbans

Home to a plethora of wildlife species, Sundarbans is a serene web of littoral mangrove trees that line the border of India and Bangladesh. So what makes these forests unique?

• The enthralling chance to spot a Royal Bengal Tiger and other exotic species like water monitor, king cobra, or rock python.

• Throng to Sundarbans if you love birds. Bird watching is the favorite pastime in a spun-out solo travels to these swampy lands.
• There are more than 60 plant species to gawk at, like the red Kankra flowers or the yellow Khalsi flowers.
• Take a walk through the enchanting villages of the forest and discover their way of life. If you are nice enough, the local collectors will also let you savor the fresh honey samples.

• In both group and solo travels, the key motive is to view and photograph the wildlife safely, which can be done through watchtower sightings. Sajnekhali, Sudhanyakhali, Dobanki, and Burir Dabri are famous watchtowers deep in the forest to provide a panoramic view of birds, deers, tigers, etc.
• If you are bored of regular resorts or hotels, try boat housing this time. With floating boats, feel like you are living on the clouds and enjoy the local cuisine of Sundarbans.

How to visit Sundarbans

From bangladesh:.

Safaris from Dhaka and Khulna are the best way to reach and discover Sundarbans. These are made available by numerous agencies and can stretch from overnight to a week. Here are few agencies offering package trips are:

• Arranger Tours and Travels, 6 Farazi Para Main Road, Khulna, Tel: +88041723031, +8801817-403070
• Exotic Holidays Ltd. , Shop # 31-32, 19c/1-A Block-F, Ring road. Mohammadpur, Dhaka-1207. Tel: +8801916886225
• Pugmark Tours and Travels , KDA Building, Shibbarirmore, Khulna, Tel: +8801715-167740, +8801919-298001

But suppose you want independent trips without involving agencies (which is not recommended for Solo Travels, considering the misadventures). In that case, you can organize a trip from Munshiganj-Satkhira, Khulna, or Mongla. Issuing the permit from the Divisional Forest Office is the first of the many hassles generally taken care of by the agency on your behalf. But once the license is issued, you’ll be able to row a boat from Mongla or Dhangmari to Hiron Point. Then, at last, hire a guide from Hiron Point for strolling through the woods.

Boatmen will settle for no less than Tk 200 for the trip. For foreigners, the entry fee is 750/day (as charged by the center).

From Kolkata:

Located southeast in West Bengal, the inhabited islands of Sundarbans are accessible via both roadways and railways from Kolkata . 

Kaikhali:  Lying at a distance of 92 km from Kolkata airport, it is not so far away from the highest watchtower of Sundarbans, i.e., the Bonnie Camp. This 50 ft tall camp also facilitates an overnight stay. Other sites such as Halliday wildlife sanctuary, Kalas Islands, and the beach are also accessible. 

Canning:  Only 45 km from Kolkata, this railway head is nearest to Sundarbans Tiger Project. You can travel via public transportation to Godakhali port as well, which is 29 km away.

Godkhali port:  It is 82 km from Kolkata and 95 km from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata. It is the last island and is close to the Sajnekhali Wildlife sanctuary and Sundarbans Tiger project.

Namkhana:  Farthest from Kolkata, Namkhana is 123 km from Kolkata airport. It is close to the Lothian wildlife sanctuary and Bhagabatpur crocodile project.

Best time to visit Sundarbans

The winters are the best time to get the best out of your Solo Travel Journey to the Sundarbans. The weather is more pleasant compared to any other time of the year. Also, the chances of wildlife sightings are considerably high. The animals come out from the dense greens at daytime to bask in the warmth of the sun.

A boat safari is also a good choice for experiencing a lucky encounter with a swimming Bengal Tiger and also enjoying the local food available on these floating boats. So, conclusively, the months from October to March are best suited for a Jungle Safari in Sundarbans Forests.

The other months are not so comfortable for Sundarbans visits for one or the other reason.

The hot temperatures reaching 30-42 degrees Celsius from April to June are too hot and humid for tourists to bear. Moreover, the heavy rainfall of the monsoon from July to September raises river water to dangerous levels.

What to shop

• Wild Honey extracted from the jaw of the Royal Bengal Tiger is collected by the locals during April – May. You can either sample it or even buy some for yourself or your family.
• Beautiful articles which the local people skillfully handcraft are good mementos to bring back home or gift your friends and family members after returning from your solo travel.
• Sundarbans is also famous for its organic brown rice, which is good for your health and tastes terrific.  

Where to stay in Sundarbans

Considering the ecological sensitivity and focusing on the eco-friendly aspect of the forests, the stays are given a village feel rather than a luxurious touch. Most hotels run on solar power or a generator. If you want a unique experience, you can choose to stay on a houseboat.

Mid-range Accommodations

• Solitary Nook Resort  

It is a low-key resort in the middle of lush greenery lying 105 km from Kolkata airport; this is the best resort for solo travel . It is 11 km from both Sajnekhali Tiger Reserve and Mangrove Interpretation Centre.

Large beds, friendly staff, and the feel of home-cooked food are what this hotel is all about. It is under budget and is a great location for sightseeing.

Equally as good as the Sundarban Tiger Reserve, the Sajnekhali Bird Sanctuary is perfect for bird watching and sightseeing while you take in the pure air of the natural surroundings in midst of the rich flora.

The bird sanctuary is full of blithe and lively birds and you could spot species like Peechkali, Gomti, Egrets, Herons, and the like. It’s mesmerising to see the flocks around you, chirping and singing their own songs and rhythms and enjoying their natural vibes in the beautiful forest.

The tower is also rich with flora due to the small botanical project of the mangroves on the watch tower. Additionally, there is a pond visible from the tower where you can see the animals coming down to relax and drink water.

The sight is soothing and relaxing and you can have your own sweet time enjoying the view from the tower. However, you must know that the time you’d have here would be quite limited as the tower can only hold 25 people at a time and you’ve got to give other people the chance to enjoy the sight and view too.

Netidhopani Watch Tower

This is another watch tower on the list of the best tourist places in Sundarban and not just for the picturesque view but its legendary tale. The legend has it that Netidhopani was a woman who Behula spotted on the very shore of the place that’s named after the woman today. The woman was blessed with the art of bringing life back through verses. As Behula was passing through the river to bid a final goodbye to her dead husband, she saw Netidhopani performing her art on a little boy who was annoying her as she tried doing her laundry. Beluha knew that she was the woman who could help bring her husband back and she did.

The place is also known for the famous ruins of a 400 year old Shiva temple. It’s also the place where Behula found nirvana.

One can also find sweet water pond around the watch tower and a road that guards the entire area.

With this legend and the traditional Shiva temple, this place has a cultural significance and gives region to why Sundarban is a heritage site. One can see history etched within the place and that gives it its importance.

So, you absolutely cannot miss out on visiting the Netidhopani Ghat and Watch Tower on your trip to Sundarban.

In addition to these three places, there’s the Sundarban National Park and Tiger Reserve which is the major attraction of the place and all the reasons to visit Sundarban in the first place. The Mangrove Eco Park, a small botanical project on the Sudhanyakali Watch Tower is also a great spot to see in Sundarban. Some more places of attraction are the Tin Kona Island, Sagar Lighthouse, Sajnekhali Watch Tower, Hiron Point, and Bharat Sevashram Sangha Temple.

Every tourist place has a different story to tell, a different experience to offer. So, visit all you can on your trip.

There is also a sweet water pond, where many wild animals come to drink water. Many colourful hermit crabs and monkeys can be sighted there.

11. Jhingekhali Watchtower:

Among the other Sundarban tourist spot watchtowers, this one is also a well-known spot for tiger sightings. Because of its distance from Sajnekhali, it often gets ignored by tourists and that’s why due to the less tourist movement, this area becomes one of the major tiger sights in Sunderbans.
