What to watch for

The delta's residents

The Sundarban is one habitat shared by tidal specialists — most sightings come from the water, not the shore.

Royal Bengal tiger

Strong swimmers, known to cross tidal channels between islands. Best odds near freshwater points at dawn.

Wildlife breeding centre, Karamjal, Sundarban

Saltwater crocodile

Basks on exposed mudbanks at low tide. The breeding centre at Sajnekhali is the reliable sighting point.

Spotted deer in the Sundarban

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.
