Sunderbans
About Sunderbans
The name Sunderbans is perhaps derived from the term meaning 'the forest of Sundari', a reference to the large mangrove tree that provides valuable fuel. Along the coast, the southern part of the forest passes into a mangrove swamp, which has numerous wild animals and crocodile-infested estuaries. Sundarbans Tiger Reserve has the highest tiger population in the world and has also received recognition as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Netidhopani Watch Tower
Netidhopani Watch Tower offers one a view of the ruins of a 400-year-old Shiva Temple. It is also believed that there is a road on the extreme right of the forest, which was built by King Pratapaditya to guard the coastal area. It is now covered with earth. There is also a sweet water pond. This watchtower has the capacity to host 20 persons at a time.
Dobanki Camp
Dobanki Camp is famous for Canopy Walk in the forest. Many believe that your trip to Sundarban will almost remain incomplete if you don't undertake a Canopy Walk through the Dobanki Watch Tower.
Sajnekhali Tiger Reserve
Sajnekhali Tiger Reserve is the centerpiece of your Sunderbans experience. This is the only place where one might safely step on the reserve proper. The complex also houses a Mangrove Interpretation Centre, a museum, a watchtower, a crocodile pond, an Olive Ridley turtles enclosure, and the Herbivore Acclimatization Centre for rehabilitating lost deer.

Best Time To Visit Sunderbans
The days in between the months of October and March are considered as the best time to visit the Sundarbans National Park as the weather during these days are more pleasant than any other time of the year. The winter season is the best time not only for a comfortable day trip in the dense forest but also for the better wildlife animals sighting as they come out from the dense forest and bask in the sun on the river banks. You can enjoy the boat safari in this pleasant weather and can also enjoy the various local foods that you will get while on the boat during your day safari. Apart from the winter season, visiting during the other seasons are considerably less comfortable for the Safari in Sundarbans due to one or another reason. The summer season is very uncomfortable due to the very hot weather as the temperature is very high and unbearable during the daytime. The monsoon season in Sundarbans used to witness the generous rains and the water levels of the rivers flowing through the forest get high due to which the safari in the monsoon season is a bit risky in the small boats.
