About Sundarbans National Park

Sundarbans National Park
 

Sundarbans National Park is situated in the southeastern part of India, in the state of West Bengal. It encompasses one of the largest mangrove forests in the world and forms a part of the Sundarbans Reserve Forest. Spanning about 3,900 square miles, the park is a critical zone for biodiversity, supporting a wide array of fauna including the iconic Royal Bengal Tiger, spotted deer, crocodiles, and various species of birds and reptiles. The park is interwoven with a network of tidal waterways, mudflats, and small islands, making it a haven for aquatic wildlife as well. Established as a national park in 1984, it is not only important for its vibrant ecosystem but also carries significant conservation value, being a designated tiger reserve and part of a biosphere reserve. Tourists often visit for the chance to spot tigers, embark on a boat safari, and immerse themselves in the tranquility and lush scenery of the mangroves.
