Keep Calm & Love The Forests
"And into the forest, I go, to lose my mind and find my soul."-John Muir
Today is my second-day visit to the mangrove forest Sundarbans. Today I will go around the whole Matla river by boat. I took breakfast and ready to go with my awesome journey.
Matla river forms a wide estuary in and around Sundarbans in the South 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal. In 1860, an abortive attempt was made to establish Port, Canning.
During the dry season, the Matla river has become so silted boats can not come near the jetties. During monsoon season Matla river becomes so turbulent that it is impossible for boats and people.
A 644 meters long bridge across the Matla was inaugurated by Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, Honorable former Chief Minister of West Bengal. The bridge connects canning to Basanti.
The boat moved to the place called Pakhiralaya where the Sundari plant is grown over the banks. The millions of birds were sitting on the branches and the chirping of their calls like a continuous concert of Bird Philharmonic Orchestra.
After visiting Pakhiralaya the boat moved on Sajnekhali land where few deer could be seen grazing on the ground. After that, I came to the wide expanse of a piece of land where the roads end this place is called Godkhlai. I saw some Crocodiles lied on the ground.
After traveling to the Matla river the Sun had vanished and a million numbers of birds were returning their home.
The whole day forest beauty was passing thrilled me and I enjoyed it a lot.
After returning resort I was hungry like devils, they served me Bengali lunch with Bhetki fish, prawns, crabs, and steamed rice.
In the twilight time, I saw various shades of sun, moon, and sky as if painted by the beautiful forest of incredible proportion.
Day two is completed boating in Malta river seeing incredible forest beauty.
The whole day's excitement was incomplete without a boat safari, It was fun and enjoyable.
Keep in touch with me..................
