Sundarbans National Park, National park in West Bengal, India.

The park contains the largest mangrove forest system in the world, with a network of waterways running through dense vegetation and small islands.

The site was first protected under the Forest Act of 1865, became a tiger reserve in 1973, and gained national park status in 1984.

The name Sundarbans originates from the Sundari trees, a mangrove species that forms a central part of the local ecosystem and identity.

Access to the park requires boat transportation, with guided tours operating between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM through the water channels.

The Bengal tigers in this region adapted to swimming in saltwater and hunting in muddy terrain, developing specific behaviors for this environment.
