Sundarbans is a nice attraction for the tourists. I have the luck of visiting the Sundarbans when I was a student of high school as part of my study tour. It was during the year 1987. It was a very enjoyable journey with my classmates. After visiting the Sundarbans we went to Kuakata sea beach and stayed overnight there.
