The Sundarbans National Park
is a National Park, tiger teserve, and a Biosphere Reserve located in the Sundarbans delta in the Indian state of West Bengal. This region is densely covered by mangrove forests, and is one of the largest reserves for the Bengal tiger. The Sundarbans is the largest single block of tidal halophytic mangrove forest in the world. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site covering parts of India and Bangladesh.
The name Sunderbans may have been derived from the Sundari trees that are found in Sundarbans in large numbers. Alternatively, it has been proposed that the name is a corruption of Samudraban or Chandra-bandhe (name of a primitive tribe). But the generally accepted view is the one associated with Sundari trees.

This blog focuses on three themes - India, Adventure and Travel. I will mostly be blogging/reblogging interesting pictures related to India. There may also be some personal snaps.
Also, Tripnaksha means 'trip maps' in Hindi. Tripnaksha is an attempt to create the best resource for adventure travel in India. Biking, driving, trekking, you name it - we got it. With over 500 routes for adventure travel already, you can choose what kind of adventure you would like to have. It is currently redirected here as i am not able to remove the malicious code a cracker inserted. Hope to get it back up soon.
Ask me in case you need help planning one, i'll be glad to help! You can check the routes and trips being listed on www.tripnaksha.com as well...
