The Sundarbans
Sundarban |
The
lifestyle in the Sundarbans is immensely diverse. Fishing with trained
otters, gathering wild honey etc. are among the oldest professions that
are still practiced by the people of this area. Even after being
isolated from the civilization, the forest dwellers have developed a
strong culture of their own. Their life is adapted with this unique
ecosystem. Before entering the forest, they pay homage to their gods and
deities. Banabibi is the most worshipped one. Each year Rash Purnima,
the grand annual fair, is observed in the Dubla Island.
There are
three wildlife sanctuary areas — ‘Kotka-Kachikhali Tiger point’,
‘Hironpoint’ and ‘Manderbaria’ including numerous unexplored natural
beaches, innumerable rivers, canals and creeks in the Sundarbans forest.
Abundance of water body makes the waterways as the only means to enter
the forest.
There are
so many things to do and see in the Sundarbans. The careless look of
amazing deer, a rare glimpse or a sudden terrifying roar or even
footprints of Royal Bengal Tiger on the swampy land, hiking against the
bushy and thick jungles etc. will completely satisfy any adventure
seekers. Trekking through the jungle of the Sunderbans requires an
expert and organized assistance. A well-equipped vessel is also
mandatory if you want to swan around this forest by rivers and rivulets.
An expert tour operator will take care of all of your tour itineraries.
