The life history of Sundarbans are quite fancy. Wave & tide are daily affairs in this forest. So salty water cover the entire forest consequently biological matters are very unique. This is why its called mangrove forest as well. The most notable things is wild life. You can find here the World ferocious but beautiful Royel Bengal Tiger only here in Sundarban.
