The name Sundarban itself comes from Sundari tree, which generally means beautiful. Sundarban is located in Southern part of West Bengal and it is very well known Tiger Reserve of our country protecting Royal Bengal tigers and giving them the best habitat.
Accessibility-Sundarban is not directly accessible from any state. Its nearest station is Canning from which cab ride is around 6 hours. But the travel to Sundarban was very comforting as it was a tour package which organised by our Private Tour package provider.
Local Sightseeing- Sundarban is a very big Reserve forest . It will take a complete day, still you maynot see all of it. But a very serene place to spend your holiday. It is having very deep Mangrove plantation and the forest was even denser during Winters. It was cool and very mesmerising beauty of mother nature. Lots of island views can be seen consisting of small ones inside water. The Tiger, crocodiles, monitor lizards were easily seen. It consists all other reptiles also but may be visible if lucky, like turtle, dolphins etc. Not only animals, this place is a heaven for all birds. In the silent forest the singing of birds is very sweet and different colors add a sprinkle to you tour taste. Lots of Watch Towers are there which can give you a better view of the forest and photography like Sajnekhalli and Sudhanyakhalli.
Hotels and accomodation- A perfect place to have your family week spending at Tiger camp. A great place with all facilities of luxury. With AC/non-AC rooms, cottage view will add a difference to the trip. Bonfire welcome is truely a difference maker.
Safety- Definitely, forest is never safe but regarding eco- tourism, the forest department has taken care of all sort of safety procedures. While taking childrens with you, special care and guidance needs to be taken by parents. Staying locations are safe and you need to follow the rules and procedures while entering Sundarban.
Overall a fine place to have a holiday around. Should try out for having time out of our busy life and was worth spending.
