Sundarbans
Strategically placed watchtowers at Sudhanyakhali, Sajnekhali, and Dobanki rise above the mangrove canopy and overlook freshwater ponds that tigers visit regularly to drink. Spending a patient hour or two in these towers in the early morning is the best — and safest — way to witness the Sundarbans tiger, an animal that has adapted to swimming long distances and hunting in tidal waters in a way no other tiger population on earth does.
Sudhanyakhali watchtower has the highest tiger sighting frequency. Arrive before 6:30 AM and stay silent — tigers are most active in the hour after dawn.
