Overview of the destinationThe destination is absolutely calm, quite and beautiful. The only way of seeing sunderbans is on boats. The mangrove forest is the home for various species including the royal bengal tiger. One can also be able to meet with the local tribals there. It's a combination of delta, estuary and wildlife.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping
There are not many options for sight-seeing. There are a couple of watch towers from where one can spot animals drinking water. There is a museum which has the various specimens of flora & fauna. Above all one can enjoy the natural beauty of sea, river, trees and animals. There is no room for shopping except a souvenir shop at the Tiger Camp Resort.
Activities & things to do
