The Subderbans Reserved Forest is a vast and remote land mass, criss-crossed with hundreds of rive, creeks and tidal channels. The estuarine forest comprises 54 islands Civilisation as we know it comes to a halt alone the northan and northwestern fring of this forbidding terrain, whose natural boundaries also mark the end of roads. To enter tigerland you must use water craft.
Studied and admired for aeons, these mangrove forests are typically made up of a dense undergrowth of Ceriops or phoenix species, almost impenetrable with visibility of just a few metres. Tigers live here and, as can be imagined, moving about presents risks.
Without a shadaw of doubt, the most spectacular wildernes of West Bengal is the Sundarbans Biosphere Reserve, a World Herotage Site. Although the sunderbans s home to the largest population of tigers in the world. tiger sighting here are very rare and hence all the more memorable. The huge area, the nature of the terrain(the only mode of transport being by launch or country dinghy)and the danger inherent in venturing out on footmakes it difficult to explore these mangroves on foot, unlike similar forests in Orisa, the Andaman islands and Kerala. A launch or dinghy ride through the creeks, however, can be an enthralling experience. This could well be the most exciting bird destination in the world. |
