The Royal Bengal Tiger: Guardian of the Sundarbans

Home to approximately 114 Royal Bengal Tigers as of 2018, the Sundarbans is one of the last strongholds for these magnificent predators. The tigers here are known for their swimming abilities, often navigating the waterways in search of prey. Besides tigers, the Sundarbans host a rich variety of wildlife, including spotted deer, saltwater crocodiles, and a myriad of bird species. The biodiversity of the Sundarbans makes it an exceptional destination for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers.

From there, guided boat tours navigate the intricate waterways, providing an immersive exploration of the forest. These tours often include stops at key sites such as the Sundarbans Tiger Reserve, Dobanki Watch Tower, and Sajnekhali Bird Sanctuary, offering numerous opportunities to observe wildlife in their natural habitat.

Things you should know about Sundarban Safari Adventure Tour

Why Book a Three-Day Tour of Sundarbans Instead of a One-Day?

A common misconception is that a one-day tour is enough to see everything in the Sundarbans. This isn't true. One-day tours often offer limited experiences, akin to visiting a zoo, where you might see a few captive deer, a couple of crocodiles in breeding facilities, and a tortoise breeding center. These attractions are typically part of the final day of a more immersive tour. A three-day tour allows you to dive deep into the mangrove forest, experience the dynamic interplay of ocean and mangrove, and witness wildlife in their natural habitat, offering a truly enriching experience that a one-day tour simply cannot provide.

What Should I Expect from a Sundarbans Tour?

A Sundarbans tour is an adventure through the largest mangrove forest in the world. Expect to see a variety of wildlife, including the famous Bengal tiger, spotted deer, saltwater crocodiles, and numerous bird species. The tour typically includes boat rides through narrow canals, guided walks, and visits to local conservation projects. You’ll experience the unique ecosystem of the Sundarbans, where the ocean meets the forest, and learn about the importance of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Why is a Small Group Private Tour Better in Sundarbans?

Small group private tours offer an exclusive and intimate experience. These tours allow for quieter, closer encounters with nature, including trekking and riding on noiseless canals, increasing the chances of spotting wildlife. Larger groups tend to be noisier and less flexible, often resulting in fewer wildlife sightings. By choosing a small group tour, you enhance your opportunity to fully experience the natural beauty and wildlife of the Sundarbans.

What is the Best Way to Visit Sundarbans?

The best way to visit the Sundarbans is by starting from Mongla. While many tours begin from Khulna, starting from Mongla means you are only 20 minutes away from entering the Sundarbans, compared to a 4-6 hour journey from Khulna depending on the tide. This saves time and allows you to spend more hours exploring the forest, maximizing your chances of wildlife sightings and enjoying the natural beauty of the Sundarbans.

Is there anything else to consider when choosing a Sundarban tour company?

While travel time is an important factor, you should also consider the types of boats offered, accommodation options on the tours, and the company's reputation for safety and responsible tourism practices. Our tours ensure the highest safety for guests with forest guards and local guides inside Sundarbans. We prioritize cleanliness of boat accommodations and provide bottled water to avoid waterborne diseases.

Which Part of Sundarbans is Better: Bangladesh or India?

The Sundarbans is a vast mangrove forest shared by Bangladesh and India, with the larger portion located in Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi side offers a more extensive and varied experience due to its size and the richness of its biodiversity. While the Indian side has its own charm and attractions, the Bangladeshi Sundarbans provides a more immersive and comprehensive exploration of this unique ecosystem.
