Karamjal Ecotourism Center
Karamjal Ecotourism Center is one of the most popular and easily accessible tourist spots in the Sundarbans, located on the bank of the Pashur River within the Chandpai Range. Just about a one-hour boat ride from Mongla Port, Karamjal serves as the gateway to the world’s largest mangrove forest and is managed by the Bangladesh Forest Department to promote eco-friendly tourism and conservation awareness. It is the best place for visitors who wish to explore the natural beauty, wildlife, and biodiversity of the Sundarbans without going deep into the forest.
The site features elevated wooden walkways, a scenic watchtower, and a wildlife breeding and rescue center where visitors can observe spotted deer, saltwater crocodiles, and various species of birds up close. The Karamjal Crocodile Breeding Center is a special attraction, where tourists can see baby crocodiles being raised in protected enclosures. The tranquil walking trails lined with Sundari, Gewa, and Golpata trees make it a perfect location for nature lovers and photographers. With information boards and eco-guides available on site, visitors can learn about the delicate balance of the mangrove ecosystem and the importance of its preservation.
Karamjal is not just a tourist destination but also an educational hub for promoting responsible and sustainable ecotourism in the Sundarbans. The center encourages visitors to maintain environmental ethics, avoid littering, and respect the natural habitat. It’s an ideal day-trip destination for families, students, and eco-travelers who want to experience the essence of the Sundarbans in a short visit. Whether you’re looking to enjoy wildlife viewing, a peaceful nature walk, or insight into forest conservation, Karamjal Ecotourism Center offers an authentic and enriching Sundarbans experience all year round.
