The Sundarbans

Located at the confluence of the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers, the Sundarbans is the world’s largest mangrove forest. The Sundarbans is home to a vivid biosphere. Its rich flora and fauna are home to diverse and unique wildlife. Birds, fishes, and animals live a sustainable and harmonious life here.

The name “Sundarbans” is inspired by the word “Sundari” which refers to the trees of the mangrove. These forests are home to The Royal Bengal Tigers, the Ruddy Kingfishers, the Indian Cormorants, the Northern River Terrapins and the Olive Ridley turtles among others.

Owing to its unique and rich environment, UNESCO declared the Sundarbans a World Heritage site, in 1987.

The place is a piece of paradise on Earth. So, if you plan on visiting the Sundarbans with your family you can rest assured that you and your loved ones will have the best time. But for how many days should you pack? We will answer this question in this blog.
