Loading...One of the most beautiful spots in all of the Sundarbans is Kotka Sea Beach. Khulna and Bagerhat, in the southeast corner of the Sundarbans, are home to Katka Beach. What this means is that it is the most visited and most important sanctuary in the eastern part of the Sundarbans and is situated roughly 90 kilometers from Manglabandar.
The Sundarbans are famous for their population of Royal Bengal Tigers. However, it is reasonable to expect to see tigers in the wild. Even if a tiger is spotted near him, he still has to worry about his own well-being.
Katka Sanctuary is a great place to visit in the Sundarbans, and it’s a safe place to see tigers. One of the most famous residents of the Sundarbans, the Royal Bengal Tiger, is frequently spotted in this area. In addition, the beautiful Chitra deer herds, various bird species, tranquil nature, and abundance of wild animals have made Katka Sanctuary a popular destination for tourists for many years.
The Sundarban region (Khulna and Mangala in Bagerhat) is where you need to start if you’re planning on visiting Cuttack. The launch is the most common method of getting to Cuttack. This tourist boat is moored in the Katka canal.

It is also possible to spot saltwater crocodiles sunbathing in the winter. There is a small creek that flows due east just beyond the Cuttack Forest Office. There’s a small jetty on the right side of the road and a watch tower up ahead after traveling for a while. There are four floors in the Katkar watchtower. The tower is 40 feet high, providing a great vantage point for taking in the breathtaking views of the Sundarbans.
This area features a stunning beach. Walking back from the lookout tower is a great way to take in the sights of the beach. stretch of forest to the east, with pools of clean water in between. This pond provides drinking water for the active Coast Guard, forest officers, and local fishermen.
From this vantage point, you can see almost all of the Sundarbans’ endangered animal species. In addition, a small canal not far from the lookout tower is home to a surprisingly large number of wild animals. Overall, Cuttack Sanctuary is a stunning place to relax and enjoy nature.
