The Sundarbans mangrove forest, one of the largest such forests in the world, lies on the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers on the Bay of Bengal.

The area is known for the famous Royal Bengal Tiger, its wide range of fauna including 260 bird species, and other threatened species such as the estuarine crocodile and the Indian python. The Sundarbans provides sustainable livelihoods for millions of people in the vicinity and acts as a shelter belt to protect the people from storms, cyclones, tidal surges, sea water seepage and intrusion. The area provides livelihood in certain seasons for large numbers of people living in small villages, working variously as wood-cutters, fisherman, honey gatherers, leaves and grass gatherers.

Burirdabri Forest Camp

The Burirdabri Forest Camp, or the Burirdabri Beat Eco Tourism Complex falls under the Bashirhat Range of the Sundarbans Tiger reserve. It lies at the easternmost part of Sundarban Tiger Reserve and this Eco-tourism complex was inaugurated in the year 2003. Because of its distance from the more populous and popular area around Sajnekhali/Pakhiralay/Dayapur, it has assumed the importance of being one of the lesser visited tourist spots in the Sundarban buffer zone. However, this watch tower is more easily accessible from the Dhamakhali Sandeshkhali entry points.

The boat ride through the Arbesi and jhila Beats of Bagna and Bashirhat range is pretty interesting. The forest here is dense, the creeks narrow and nature, extremely raw and wild. The Burirdabri Forest Camp is famous for the Burirdabri Watch Tower, a mud walk and mangrove cage trail leading to a view point known as Raimongal View Point.

It is located southmost of Bengal, and is one of the highlights of Sunderban tourism. It achieved such status in the late 1900s.

Sunderbans are the most green, clean and offbeat tourist destination in the nearabouts by a mile. And it is all of those things for good reasons, too. It is green wherever you look at it, shaded by gigantic trees. It is clean and refreshing, you understand that part as soon as you breathe. And it is marvellously offbeat and wonderful because its not every tourist spot that can offer tigers and watchtowers over forests instead of nightclubs, and kudos to you for being one amazing unconventional traveller too. Book in advance, then go on. The story of how you saw that tiger is going to make headlines at office when you return.
