Sighting the elusive Royal Bengal Tiger in the dense mangrove terrain of Sundarban is an unforgettable experience. Here are five expert tips:
1. Visit During Winter Months
Between November and February, tigers frequently bask on the mud banks during low tide to warm up in the winter sun.
2. Pay Attention to Low Tide
During low tide, wide muddy riverbanks are exposed. Animals come to the sweet water ponds near watch towers like Sudhanyakhali and Sajnekhali.
3. Listen for Alarm Calls
Spotted deer and rhesus macaques give sharp alarm calls when a predator is nearby. Always follow the natural signals of the forest.
