South of Calcutta starts the Sundarbans 'beautiful forest' in Bengali, formed by the delta of the Ganga and the Brahmaputra and extending across the entire northern shore of the Bay of Bengal. These evergreen mangrove forests pulsate with myriad forms of life.

These forests are extremely dense, often impenetrable, fringed by mangrove jungles and are one of the most intriguing wilderness on earth. Most journeys through these humid forests are done by boat, and it is a fascinating trip.

Tribes of honey gatherers live in these dark forests. They believe that the giant, saline water drinking Royal Bengal Tigers always attack from the rear and so they wear masks on the backs of their heads. This is why a posse of armed policemen accompanies all visitors who venture into these beautiful forests. Other wild creatures which lucky visitors might see are spotted deer, boar, monkey, crocodile, python, Salvator lizards, and a wide range of water birds.
