The Sunderbans is the world’s largest delta and a vast stretch of small islands covered with mangrove trees and interspace by estuarine creeks, which drain into the Bay of Bengal. Apart from being home to an amazing array of birdlife, it is also one of the unique tiger habitats in the world.

This day we take you on a full-day cruise. We will leave just after breakfast and head towards the canopied walk at Dobanki. We then proceed to the furthest point, Netidhopani, where you can view wildlife from the watchtower. If you are lucky you can spot the famous swimming tigers of Sunderbans. We keep a sharp watch for basking Saltwater Crocodiles and the elusive Ayeyarwady Dolphins. Another attraction nearby is a 400-year-old temple, which is in ruins, but still draws visitors for its mystique and charm.
Lunch is on board, and we will return to the lodge late in the evening after watching the spectacular sunset. In the evening the local village troupe enacts the opera based on the popular myth of the Goddess Bonobibi.
