Sundarban

Sundarbans-World mangrove forest

♥Bangladesh♥

Sundarbans
Located at about 320km.
West of Dhaka. Here in
the south, spread over an
area of about 6000 sq.
km. of delta swamps
along the coastal belt of
Khulna is the biggest
mangrove forest,
Sundarbans (beautiful
forest) - the home of the
Royal Bengal Tiger. These
dense mangrove forests
are criss-crossed by a
network of rivers and
creeks. One find here tides
flowing in two directions
in the same creek and
often tigers swimming
across a river or huge
crocodiles basking in the
sun. Other wildlife in this
region is cheetahs,
spotted deer, monkeys,
pythons, wild bears and
hyenas.
The forest is accessible by
river from Khulna and
Mongla. There are rest
houses for the visitors to
stay and enjoy the
unspoiled nature with all
its charm and majesty.
Spending some times
inside the forest can be a
rare treat for the lovers of
nature. BPC offers
package tours to
Sundarbans.
