"I think I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree"-Joyce Kilmer
Sunderban is reputed for its ample array of Trees. The water of the Bay of Bengal has seeped in to the mainland of West Bengal and thereby a brackish water area has been constructed. This is also known as the Deltaic West Bengal, renowned for its magnificent Flora and Fauna. The Flora in Sunderbans consists largely of Mangrove Forest, which has uniquely adapted itself to this marine ecosystem.
The concourse to Sunderban is soggy because it is located in the World's biggest Delta formed by the mighty Ganges and Brahmaputra. Renowned for its splendid Mangrove Forest, where one may discover the elegant Sundari trees, one of the Mangrove Variety.
From here, Sunderban has acquired its name. It extends over an area of 4,264 sq km, and is renowned for its unique flora and fauna (mainly tiger); so it has been selected as a Legacy Site by the UNESCO.
