Book Sunderbans National Park Tour for a Thrilling

Are you craving a trip that will take you away from the hustle and bustle of your stressful work life? Then you need to find yourself at Sunderbans National Park. It’s no secret that in this modern industrialized world, connecting with nature is next to impossible in your environment. But we often forget the most peaceful places on the earth are the places which are scarcely populated by humans i.e. the jungles, or in India as we know them, sanctuaries.  

These sanctuaries are a controlled and monitored space for nature to flourish with minimal human intervention and guess what, there’s a whole tour to make you feel at peace and redefine adventure.  

In India lies Sunderbans National Park, the world’s largest mangrove forest, spread across India and Bangladesh. It’s not just another vacation destination which you can just relax at. It’s a vast, living ecosystem that promises a raw and immersive experience. Here, the landscapes are untamed, and the wildlife roams free, offering a rare glimpse into nature at its most primal. 

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to the famous Royal Bengal Tigers, and with them a long list of other wildlife and species. Your journey through these dense forests and fast-flowing waterways will be filled with sounds that are far removed from the familiar in your life, a real connection with the wild, making it an adventure we know you won’t forget. 

Travelling to the Sundarbans's isn't that difficult, wherever you might be, just catch a flight, train, bus, car or any other means of transport to Kolkata, the capital city of West Bengal. Upon reaching Kolkata, take a bus to get to Canning. Then take a boat to the Sundarbans. If this seems too much of a trouble, just book a guided tour to Sundarbans, this will make sure you don’t miss out on any highlights of the place and most of the organized transport includes transportation.  

The most pleasant time to visit Sundarbans would be during the winter months ranging from June to September, as the weather is cool, and animal sightings are often too. Another great season to go on this wild ride would be during the monsoon months. Despite the heavy rains making some areas inaccessible and animal sightings difficult, it makes the jungle glow up with the lush green color, turning it into a heaven, a scenery beyong comprehension. 

Being a sanctuary for wildlife, Sundarbans closely imitates the real strength of a full jungle so that the animal and plant life can thrive here. This has made it into a home for a wide array of wildlife. It is home to approximately 400 Royal Bengal Tigers, making it one of the largest tiger populations in the world, one of the most popular animals found here and especially what people come to visit this sanctuary for. Besides tigers, visitors can spot spotted deer, saltwater crocodiles, wild boars, and a variety of reptiles and amphibians. For bird watchers, the park offers sightings of species like the kingfisher, white-bellied sea eagle, and the rare masked finfoot. Though it may not sound as interesting as the tigers but believe me, when you see them, you’ll be surprised. 

Mangroves are an important part of this ecosystem, they prevent floods, the erosion of soil and provide the right environment for the flora and fauna to survive here. Some would say the ecosystem wouldn’t exist without the mangroves. The guided boat tours navigate you through narrow creeks and broad rivers, giving you a glimpse at the wildlife that has been thriving here. It gives you a chance to see the wildlife in their natural habitats. 

There are many people that reside in the Sundarbans and call it their home and it’s only fair that an ecosystem would certainly be incomplete without humans. The people of the Sundarbans coexist with the wildlife and although it is a challenging environment, the people, over the years, seem to have become a part of the whole internal biosphere. There have been instances in time, people with occupations like fishing and honey collection share their adventures and the stories of how they’ve survived and coexisted with the forest. Visiting local villages and interacting with residents provides a human perspective to the wilderness. 

There are many accommodations options depending on how much you are willing to spend, ranging from eco-friendly resorts to budget guesthouses. Here, most lodgings focus on the prospect of reducing their carbon footprint and making less of an impact on the already precarious ecosystem here. If you take your wildlife sighting seriously, then you should go for accommodation closer to the park which allows for early morning and late evening explorations, giving you more time in the park, making it easier to sight wildlife. 

 

You find what real life has been hiding from you in the jungles. A trip to the Sundarbans really shows you what lies outside the typical industrialized cities. How the horrors and the beauty of the jungle spring together such an ecosystem, where a whole animal and ariel kingdom thrives. Whether you’re a nature lover, a wildlife photographer, a bird watcher or just someone trying to get a break from the stressful life of the metropolis and get an experience which is both thrilling and humbling, we are sure that Sundarbans is for you.
