Our guests are allowed to visit the forest within the Indian range (9630 sq km) with a basic permit accompanied by a certified local forest guide .

Now for those who are wondering - How did Sundarban get its name? It's really interesting that the Sundarbans got its name from the Sundari trees (Heritiera fomes). In the past, local villagers and the lumberjacks of the neighboring countries used to collect the wood of the Sundari trees to make furniture for their daily bread and butter. But since late 90s, deforestation is strictly prohibited in the Sundarbans.
