The second day of your Sundarban Tour involves venturing and visiting the Eastern fringe of the Indian Sundarbans. This is often referred to as the Burirdabri Circuit and comprises, the visit to the two watchtowers of Burirdabri and Jhingakhali and passing along the Morichjhapi forest and the Jhila Forest Beat. Visit to the Burirdabri Circuit is the uniqueness of the Sundarban Tour 3N 4D.
We would go till Burirdabri, which is the farthest watchtower on the Indian Side, before the Bangladesh Sundarbans starts. The river Raimangal divides India and Bangladesh. From the Burirdabri Watchtower, apart from the Indian Sundarbans, you can also view the Bangladesh Sundarbans. The Bangladesh Sundarbans lies just on the opposite side of the river. This whole day river cruise will be a mix of sailing through both broad rivers as well as the narrow creeks. This journey would be interspersed with tiny village dotted on one side and the Sundarbans National Park on the other side.
This side of the Sundarbans forest is abundant in the mangrove species of Nipa Palm locally known as Golpata (Nypa fruticans). It is a mangrove species, distributed throughout the mangroves of Sundarbans. It is a trunk less palm with tall erect leaves (3 - 9 m long). It is one of the most beautiful species of mangroves whose concentration is more in this circuit.
.
Burirdabri in Sunderbans National Park is famous for its watchtower, a mudwalk and mangrove cage trail leading to a viewpoint known as the Raimongal view point. Visit the watch tower at Burirdabri camp.
Thereafter visit the watchtower of Jhingakhali, which offers an exiting view of the jungle. The Jhingakhali Watchtower overlooks an untamed forestscape. Enjoy the sights and sounds of nature resplendent in her pristine beauty.This watchtower is among the ones to be located on the Eastern most fringe of the Indian part of Sundarbans. It falls in the Bashirhat Range of the Jhingekhali Beat of Sundarbans. The watchtower has a capacity to accommodate 20 persons at a time. This watchtower is often overlooked by tour operators and tourists because of its distance from the Sajnekhali and Dayapur area. Since the movement of tourists is less in this area, the scenic beauty of this place is well preserved and the chances of sighting tigers, as per our opinion, are relatively more than the other watchtowers. This watchtower, like some other watchtowers, has observation lines and sweet water pond for observing the wildlife. There is also a BanoBibi temple within the compound of the Watchtower as well. Apart from other birds that can be sighted, the sighting of Brahmini Kites is very much likely from this watchtower.
In the evening, return for your overnight stay either at the resort/Boat as per your prior selection.
