Royal Bengal tiger
Strong swimmers, known to cross tidal channels between islands. Best odds near freshwater points at dawn.
Saltwater crocodile
Basks on exposed mudbanks at low tide. The breeding centre at Sajnekhali is the reliable sighting point.
Spotted deer
Chital herds graze the forest edge at dusk — often the first movement spotted from the boat.
Wild honey & hives
Local moulis (honey collectors) work April to June — several packages route past active collection grounds.
