As part of the larger Gangamati Reserved Forest, it presents a unique landscape where a lush mangrove forest meets the Bay of Bengal. This creates a serene environment appealing to those seeking tranquility and natural beauty. The Gangamati Reserved Forest, an extension of the Sundarbans, serves as an evergreen mangrove ecosystem, providing a natural defense against tidal surges. While smaller than the Sundarbans, Gangamati boasts its own distinct charm and ecological significance. The forest is easily accessible, inviting exploration on foot or by bicycle along the beach, where colorful fishing boats dot the coastline. The park's allure lies in its interconnected lakes, creating picturesque spots perfect for relaxation. The late afternoon unveils a mesmerizing spectacle as the setting sun casts long shadows on the exposed mangrove roots, transforming the landscape. This captivating scene draws visitors seeking solace and a deeper connection with nature. Within the forest, a diverse array of flora thrives, including keora, gewa, and goran trees, interspersed with the iconic sundari trees that lend their name to the Sundarbans. This rich tapestry of vegetation provides a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including numerous bird species, both resident and migratory, making it a haven for birdwatchers. Lucky visitors may also encounter wild boars and deer roaming freely within the forest. Once connected to the main Sundarbans, it now stands slightly apart, offering a unique glimpse into a protected mangrove ecosystem. It is known as a sunrise point by tourist guides and locals. Standing at Gangamati Point, one can truly experience a piece of the Sundarbans, an unforgettable experience for nature enthusiasts.
