Sunderbans National Park - Where adventure roars!

The history of the Sunderbans is intertwined with the ebb and flow of the tides and the shifting course of the rivers. The region was once part of a larger deltaic plain and has been shaped by centuries of natural processes. Historically, it served as a refuge for pirates and dacoits. The Mughal empire had some control over the area, and later, the British East India Company exploited the forest resources. The area was declared as a reserve forest in 1875. Recognizing its ecological significance, the Sunderbans was designated as a National Park in 1984 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Conservation efforts have been ongoing to protect the fragile ecosystem and its inhabitants from human encroachment and natural disasters.
