The Sundarbans, a vast expanse of mangrove forest spanning 140,000 hectares, stands among the world’s largest mangrove forests. Situated on the delta formed by the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers, it is nestled along the Bay of Bengal. This magnificent forest is located adjacent to India’s Sundarbans World Heritage site, which was inscribed in 1987.
