Set on Bali Island within the Sundarbans buffer zone, Sunderban Jungle Camp was among the first genuinely community-based eco-camps in the delta, built and run under Help Tourism’s long-running model of linking conservation directly to local livelihoods.
Simple cottages built largely from local materials, modestly furnished, reflecting the camp’s deliberately low-impact approach to the surrounding mangrove ecosystem.
Bengali home-style cooking, largely sourced from the surrounding delta communities, served communally in an open dining setting.
Boat safaris through the Sundarbans’ channels, village walks on Bali Island, and cultural interaction with the delta’s fishing and honey-collecting communities.
Beyond the delta’s tigers, the Sundarbans support an exceptional range of waterbirds, saltwater crocodile and spotted deer, all viewed exclusively from the water given the terrain’s lack of roads.
The delta’s waterbird life, including kingfishers and various herons working the tidal edges, offers reliably productive photography even on days without a tiger sighting.
Help Tourism’s model channels tourism revenue directly into community livelihoods across the Sundarbans, reducing dependence on activities that bring local communities into conflict with the delta’s tigers.
