How to Reach
Physical Location The Sundarban forest lies in the vast delta on the Bay of Bengal formed by the super confluence of the Ganges, Padma, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers across southern Bangladesh.
Sundarban features two ecoregions — "Sundarban freshwater swamp forests" (IM0162) and "Sundarban mangroves" .
Flora & Fauna
Sundarban has achieved its name from the Sundari Trees. It is the most exquisite variety of tree that are found in this area, a special kind of Mangrove tree.It has specialised roots called Pneumatophore which emerge above ground and help in gaseous exchange i.e. respiration. During the rainy season when the entire forest is water logged, the spikes rising from the ground has their peak in the air and helps in the respiration process.
