Sundarbans National Park

The Sundarbans National Park in West Bengal, India, is a national park, tiger reserve, and biosphere reserve. It is part of the Sundarbans in the Ganges Delta and next to Bangladesh's Sundarban Reserve Forest. The delta is highly forested, and it is one of the greatest tiger reserves in the world. It also supports a diverse range of bird, reptile, and invertebrate species, including the saltwater crocodile. The current Sundarban National Park was established in 1973 as the core area of the Sundarban Tiger Reserve and as a wildlife sanctuary in 1977.

Sundarbans National Park spans India and Bangladesh and is notable for its mangrove forest, which is one of the world's biggest. The Sunderbans are home to the regal Bengal tiger and other vulnerable species such as the estuarine crocodile and the Indian python, as well as over 250 bird species. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is best visited between December and February.
