Netidhopani Watch Tower
নেতিধোপানি
A watch tower deep in the core zone, with the remains of a roughly 400-year-old temple nearby and the folk legend of the goddess Manasa.
Netidhopani lies in the core zone of the national park. Besides the watch tower, a brick temple ruin several centuries old survives in the mangrove forest nearby, linked to the Bengali folk epic of Behula and the goddess Manasa. The camp also has a northern river terrapin conservation area. Special permits must be arranged as part of your itinerary. The boat journey is long, so you typically reach it only on trips of two days or more.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:00–16:30; additional permit required
