Formed by the confluence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers, this tidal estuarine ecosystem showcases rare geomorphological features such as deltaic sedimentation, tidal creek networks, mudflats, saline wetlands, and is home to the iconic Royal Bengal Tiger. More than a biodiversity hotspot, the site offers crucial insights into sea-level change, sediment dynamics, and climate

The Sundarbans World Heritage site is the largest area of mangrove forest in the world and it is the only one that is inhabited by the iconic but endangered Bengal tiger.
