Sunderban - The Mangrove Tigerland


Sunderban Tiger Reserve is a 2,585 sq km of carpet of mangrove forest, with tidal channels cutting it up into numerous islands. There are no human habitation, roads, or railway network in this expanse of world's unique tigerland. The Bay of Bengal is about 80 km south from its northern edge, which is a channel that separates the forest from human habitation of the district of South 24 Parganas in West Bengal
