Andarmanik Eco Tourism Center, Sundarban

^{Main 4-storey building}

Hello steemian,
Andarmanik Ecotourism Center is a travel unit in the Sundarbans in Khulna district of Bangladesh. It is located in the southeastern region of the Sundarbans. The specialty of this place is that tigers are often seen here and the view of the entire Sundarbans is visible from its high tower.

^{Entrance signboard}

This signboard can be seen at the entrance to this travel place. It basically gives a brief description of this place. Some examples of tigers seen here have also been written. The road starts from the right side of the entrance and there are Geora and Sundari trees planted next to the signboard, which make this travel place beautiful.

The main attraction of the Sundarbans is the trees here. About 20 types of saline soil trees can be seen here. One of them is the Sundari tree and the Geora tree. Bees often visit these trees. Honey is collected from these trees regularly. Another tree that can be seen here is the Pashur tree. This tree has many flowers. The scientific name of this tree is: xylocarpus moluccensis. Our guide gave us a lot of knowledge about this tree. This tree was really beautiful to look at.

People basically come to this travel place for a few reasons, which are to see tigers, crocodiles in the river, and to see the inner part of the garden and birds from a height. But I went up here to get phone network. There is no phone network available in this area. So many people go up to this building to contact their families. To meet their families, you have to go here. This area is basically 200 kilometers away from the public, so there is no network here.

^{our team}

---

There were a total of 140 people in our team, including all of their families. We all traveled here in small groups and each of us had a guard. You can see one standing with a pistol. This person basically works in the forest department and on that basis he showed us around the Sundarbans. Due to his job, Timi knows everything, where tigers can be seen and where tigers attack people. Accordingly, he took us around the forest with caution.

---

We each have an identity card with us. This part of the Sundarbans is very dangerous and about 2-3 thousand people travel here every day. Many times when tigers come out, everyone starts running around, so many people get lost. This card has my name and everything I need to go to. I hung my card around my neck like everyone else so that it doesn't get lost. Everyone stood here and fixed their cards. We can really recognize everyone who comes from different parts of the country through identity cards.

^{Small bridge for transportation}

---

There is a two-kilometer-long bridge here to cross the Sundarbans. This bridge is very strong and beautiful. Many people can easily cross it. However, the bridge is very thin. Only two people can cross it at a time. A guard walks on this bridge and looks for those who steal wild animals. When you walk on this bridge, you can hear the sounds of different animals. So we all walked on this bridge.

^{The breath of the sundari tree}

---

All the layers of the Sundarbans area are basically saline. The special feature of this tree is that the roots of this tree go upwards. No tree can survive in saline water. And it dies due to lack of oxygen. But the special feature of this tree is that the roots of this tree come upwards due to which it breathes from above and the tree survives. Due to these roots, we definitely have to be careful while entering the garden because these roots are very sharp and hit the feet very hard. It can be said that this is a surprising tree.

The animals that get sick in the forest are brought here and treated. Here they can recover quickly with care. Most of the deer here have taken shelter here from the tigers. This is a good place for small children. Everyone can travel here happily. There were several Maya deer here which are almost extinct. Overall, my travel here was very beautiful.
