At the tip of the Ganges is a mystic mangrove forest on the myriad of islands. Impenetrable mangrove forests, winding rivers, lush sundari trees, water changing its colour at every creek from muddy river to emerald blue sea, narrow creeks to several miles wide rivers, where the man and man-eaters eat fish to survive, crabs climb the tree, tigers swim long distances and the mighty crocodiles bask in the sun.

This is a wonderland to be explored through waterways only. From the north to the south east to west, the cruise transverses the entire area anchoring at the most exotic waters viz.

  • Sunderban Tiger reserve
  • Mangrove forest walking
  • Experiencing the village life
