Sundarbans National Park is a tiger reserve, national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Biosphere Reserve. The forests aren't just mangrove swamps though, they include some of the last remaining stands of the mighty jungles which once covered the Gangetic plain. Tourist across the seas comes here to visit the amazing location and prefer best resorts in Sunderbans.
