The Sundarbans mangrove forest, one of the largest such forests in the world (140,000 ha), lies on the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers on the Bay of Bengal. It is adjacent to the border of India’s Sundarbans World Heritage site inscribed in 1987. The site is intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways, mudflats and small islands of salt-tolerant mangrove forests, and presents an excellent example of ongoing ecological processes. The area is known for its wide range of fauna, including 260 bird species, the Bengal tiger and other threatened species such as the estuarine crocodile and the Indian python.

Images from Sundarbans ( name said be derived from sundri or sundari (Heritiera fomes), the name of the large mangrove trees in the delta ) -
Starting with memorable two hour boat ride from Godkhali to Sajnekhali Tourist Lodge, maintained and operated by West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation, we had a unique out of the world experience .... amid kilometers and kilometers of mangrove forests. The tides surging in and out, country fishing boats, interesting flora and fauna and the vast waterscape were mesmerizing. Though we weren't lucky enough to site the celebrated Bengal tiger, the nine hour boat ride through the Sundarbans was soothing and meditative. The stay at Sajnekhali, the only resort right in the heart of the Sundarban wild, totally cut away from human habitation was a once in life time experience. Hospitality was satisfying and Bengali food authentic ! Thank you Santhanu,Manager Sajnekhali, for the great arrangements.
Before touching the mainland at Godkhali, we got to see Gosaba one of the main deltaic islands. Sharing some images.

This was just when the Mynahs managed to get the lizard to pull its head out of the tree. Either that or it had had its fill.
