After an episode of having an upset gastro-intestinal tract (giardiasis) I needed some rest for a bit of recovery. This multi-day boat trip worked wonders as you can see.

While visiting a small hamlet in Sundarbans we happened to chance upon this shopkeeper. The shop is like any other shop, nothing particularly special about it. When he noticed that we were clicking his photo, he brushed off his old shirt, stopped writing and sat up with a look of gleeful anticipation. It was just a moment, but it made both him and us very happy. For that, this will go down as one of the most memorable points of the trip.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Sundarbans (Bengali: সুন্দরবন, Shundorbôn) , a single block of tidal halophytic salt-tolerant mangrove forest of great size and bio-diversity, is a vast area covering 4264 square km in India alone. The Sundarbans provides a unique ecosystem and a rich wildlife habitat. The Indian Sundarbans forms the largest Tiger Reserve and National Park in India.
The Sundarbans are a part of the world's largest delta formed by the mighty rivers Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna. Situated on the lower end of the Gangetic Bengal, it is also the world’s largest estuarine forest. The Sundarbans is criss-crossed by hundreds of creeks and tributaries. It is one of the most attractive and alluring places remaining on earth, a truly undiscovered paradise.
