About

Home to one of the largest concentrations of Royal Bengal tigers on the planet, this 2585 sq km reserve is a network of channels and semi-submerged mangroves that forms the world's largest river delta. Tigers (officially estimated to number close to 300) lurk in the impenetrable depths of the  mangrove forests , and also swim the delta's innumerable channels. Although they do sometimes kill villagers and their livestock, tigers are typically shy and sightings are rare.
