The Harbaria Ecotourism Center, located within the Sundarbans, serves as a gateway to the world’s largest mangrove forest, offering visitors an opportunity to experience the unique biodiversity and tranquil beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is farther within the forest from Karamjal and located in the Chandpai Range beside the Pashur River. It takes around three hours to get there from Khulna. The center’s mission is to educate visitors about the unique ecosystem of the area and to encourage sustainable tourism.
Harbaria is a popular stop for visitors embarking on boat tours of the Sundarbans, providing a peaceful and informative introduction to one of the most biodiverse regions in the world.
Visitors to Harbaria can explore well-maintained trails that wind through the mangroves, offering chances to observe a variety of wildlife, including spotted deer, wild boar, monkeys, and a wide range of bird species, including and Lesser Adjutant (Madantak). It also has a beautiful freshwater pond full of water lilies where wild animals come to drink.The area is also home to the elusive Bengal tiger, and though sightings are rare, the center provides information on the tiger’s habitat and conservation efforts. The canal in front of the Center is a sanctuary for salt-water crocodiles. The best time to see the crocodiles is winter when they can be found sun basking at the banks of the river.
The Harbaria Ecotourism Center offers panoramic views of the surrounding forest and streams along a 1-kilometer wooden route that ends in the deep forest at an observation tower, in addition to its natural attractions. These are great locations for photography and birdwatching. Interpretive exhibits at the center also teach visitors about the fragile ecosystem of the Sundarbans, the value of mangrove forests, and the difficulties associated with conservation in this exceptional setting.
