A colony of Great White Egrets (Ardea alba or Casmerodius albus) searching for foods in one of the narrow creeks of Sundarbans Biosphere Reserve - a mystical and magical place!

Sundarbans is a paradise for bird lovers for the rich species of birds it boasts off, both migratory and residential.....
The climatic conditions at the biosphere reserve creates an ideal habitat for the resident as well as the foreign birds of numerous variety. The dark and foreboding attractiveness of the mangroves hides some of the most sought after birds in the world and a chance encounter with a Brown-winged Kingfisher, a Grey Headed Lapwing, a Brahminy Kite, a Pallas's Fish Eagle or a White-Bellied Sea Eagle, a Lesser Adjutant or maybe a Mangrove Whistler is always a possibility. Other rare varieties of birds can also be seen. However, the noise of the motorized boats frightens these winged creatures and they quickly shy away from human contact. Tell the launch to stop its engine while you are surveying for the Birds in Sundarbans. Let your lenses do the talking. Some exotic birds are hard to catch a glimpse of, as they hide amidst the mangroves.

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 Sunderbans forms the largest Tiger Reserve and National Park in India.
The Sunderbans 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 West Bengal, it is also the world’s largest estuarine forest. The Sunderbans 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.

The Sundarbans is a region in the delta of the river Ganges. This is where the Ganges meets the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. The region covers both a portion of India in the state of West Bengal, and part of the country of Bangladesh. This image was taken in the Indian portion of the region.
Although this is a low lying area fraught with difficulties and dangers (like the Bengal Tiger), the region is home to many people. In this image you can see a ferry that shuttles the inhabitants amongst the islands.

In the south western part of Bangladesh, in the district of greater Khulna, lies the Sundarbans, "the beautiful forest." It is a virgin forest which until recently owed nothing to human endeavour and yet nature has laid it out with as much care as a planned pleasure ground. For miles and miles, the lofty treetops form an unbroken canopy, while nearer the ground, works of high and ebb-tide marked on the soil and tree trunks and the many varieties of the natural mangrove forest have much to offer to an inquisitive visitor.
Here land and water meet in many novel fashions. Wild life presents many a spectacle. No wonder, you may come across a Royal Bengal Tiger swimming across the streams or the crocodiles basking on the river banks. With the approach of the evening herds of deer make for the darking gladeswhere boisterous monkeys shower Keora leaves from above for sumptuous meal for the former. For the botanist, the lover of nature, the poet and the painter this land provides a variety of wonders for which they all crave.
This picture is kind of a joke to me. The guy in this picture is a forest guard. Three of them were assigned in this journey. In the event of tiger attacks, they meant to protect everyone with their guns. I am not sure if this antic piece of gun can actually fire anything. I asked one of them if it works, he replies even if it doesn’t work, this gun is a confidence booster. His answer made me little worried, but his attitude and confidence of “nothing will go wrong” made me feel relatively safe knowing his 20 years of experience in the jungle isn’t any joke.
