About Sundarbans
The largest mangrove forest on earth and home of the Bengal tiger.
Sundarbans is a mangrove forest area in the Ganges Delta formed by the confluence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna Rivers in the Bay of Bengal. It spans the area from the Hooghly River in India's state of West Bengal to the Baleswar River in Bangladesh's Khulna Division. It comprises closed and open mangrove forests, land used for agricultural purpose, mudflats and barren land, and is intersected by multiple tidal streams and channels. Spread across 10,277 km2, it is the world's largest mangrove forest. It covers over 6,017 km2 in Bangladesh's Khulna Division. In West Bengal's Presidency division, they extend over 4,260 km2 in the South 24 Parganas and North 24 Parganas districts.
