Geographical Tour
Geographically, the Sundarbans is an intricate labyrinth of tidal waterways, mudflats, and estuarine islands. The constantly shifting landscape is shaped by the interplay of riverine silt deposits and tidal actions. This dynamic environment creates a mosaic of intertidal habitats that support a wide array of wildlife and plant species.
Biological Tour
Biologically, the Sundarbans is renowned for its population of Royal Bengal tigers, which are among the largest and most elusive big cats in the world. These apex predators roam the dense mangrove forests and estuarine waters, making them a focal point of wildlife enthusiasts and researchers. The region also hosts a diverse array of other species, including saltwater crocodiles, spotted deer, and a variety of migratory and resident bird species, such as the fish eagle and kingfisher.
Botanical Tour
Botanically, the Sundarbans is dominated by a sprawling mangrove forest, which represents the largest of its kind globally. The mangroves are characterized by salt-tolerant trees like the Sundari, from which the region derives its name. These trees are adapted to the saline coastal environment and play a crucial role in stabilizing the delta’s soil and providing habitat for various species.
