Delhi | 27th May 2006 | | | Sunderban - The peaceful wildlife | 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
One can have a peaceful vacation amid the vast expanse of the sea and enjoy the wildlife Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
From Kolkata you get various travel agents who organise planned trips to Sunderbans. We stayed in Tiger Camp Resorts. Sunderbans is approximately 5 hours away from Kolkata which includes 3 hours of road journey and 2 hours of boat ride. Do carry sunscreen to avoid tanning. A camera & binoculars is must. | |

 Info on Sunderbans trip from Sajnekhali | | I have been booked in some hotel or guest house in Sajnekhali
of Sunderbans by an uncle on 24th and 25th November 2008.
As a totally ignorant person in this locality/ circuit I would like
to know how to see the places of real interest/ significance in
Sunderbans, making the base camp in Sajnekhali. What are
the facilities for cruise, food, etc. in these short trips.
