The Sundarbans became a forest reserve in 1875. Then, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this area comprises multiple arms and channels of the Ganges delta that flow down to the Bay of Bengal. Considered the cradle of Bengali civilization, this place is accessible by car or train and then by boat from Kolkata, the largest city nearby. The best time to visit the Sundarbans is during the dry and cool months of November to February. You will inevitably pass by the river to cross the rich vegetation of the mangroves composed of 64 plant species! After your cruise in Sundarban National Park, it will be time to visit the Bhagabatpur Crocodile Project on Lothian Island. It is a crocodile breeding center in the heart of the forest. Discover the wonders of this region, such as crocodiles, in the company of experienced guides on tours that combine satisfaction and safety. Sundarbans Park is also a sanctuary for hundreds of tigers. Thrill seekers and animal lovers can look for these animals in their natural habitats with the help of experienced tour guides. To continue your journey, why not detour the surrounding area and visit the local fishing villages to learn about the traditions? If your trip continues in January, stop by Sager Island, a hundred kilometers from the Sundarbans, to attend the Gangasagar Mela, India's magnificent spiritual carnival. ◄
