Sundarban Banalata Tours & Travels

  The Sundarbans is one of the most remarkable natural ecosystems in the world. Spread across the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers and opening into the Bay of Bengal, this vast mangrove landscape is made up of tidal rivers, creeks, mudflats, islands and dense mangrove forests. These unique conditions make the Sundarbans an excellent habitat for the estuarine or saltwater crocodile ( Crocodylus porosus ) . The combination of brackish water, abundant food, mangrove cover and extensive waterways provides many of the resources crocodiles need to survive. In fact, saltwater crocodiles are recognized as apex predators of the Sundarbans’ aquatic ecosystem and play an important role in maintaining its ecological balance.

A thrilling, pin-drop-silent, edge-of-your-seat kind of waiting game. The tigers here are legendary. They swim, they adapt, and they are incredibly elusive—often called the “ghosts of the forest.” Here at  Banalata Travels , we guide hundreds of wildlife enthusiasts through these waterways every year, and hands down, the number one question we get asked is:  “When exactly should I book my trip to actually see one?” Let me be completely straight with you.
