Sudhanyakhali Watchtower

Sudhanyakhali Watchtower is a prominent tiger-viewing watchtower located inside the Sundarbans Tiger Reserve and Sundarbans National Park in South 24 Parganas, West Bengal. Situated near a freshwater pond frequented by Royal Bengal Tigers, it is regarded as the most reliable site for tiger sightings in the Sundarbans. The tower offers elevated views over dense mangrove forests, tidal creeks and wildlife habitats accessible only by boat.

Visitors reach the watchtower by boat through narrow mangrove creeks inside the Sundarbans Tiger Reserve. The concrete watchtower provides an elevated, fenced viewing platform overlooking a freshwater pond, open grassland and dense mangrove forest. Visitors can observe wildlife from the tower, including Royal Bengal Tigers if sighted, spotted deer, wild boar, crocodiles and diverse birdlife. The site includes an interpretation centre and is visited as part of a guided boat safari with a forest guide.
