Sudhanyakhali Watch Tower

সুধন্যখালি

Considered the most likely place on the Indian side to spot a Bengal tiger. A freshwater pond in front of the tower draws animals to drink.

Sudhanyakhali Watch Tower holds about 25 people. In front of it is an artificial freshwater pond where tigers, spotted deer, wild boar and monitor lizards often come to drink. The tower is surrounded by dense mangroves and pneumatophore-covered mudflats. It lies about a half-hour boat ride from Sajnekhali and is usually visited on the same day. Climb the tower quietly and be patient while you wait. The tower area is fenced, and it is strictly forbidden to cross the barrier.
