Tiger Watching in the Mangroves! — at Sundarban Tiger Reserve.  *This image is copyright of its original author Vinod Rishi New era in tiger tourism in Sunderban tiger reserve! I remember during my tenure as Field Director, STR, in mid 1980s I was called lucky because in one year I had seen tigers 5 times. Tigers made their presence felt by killing people and not posing for cameras. That is why I called it a new era in tiger tourism in Sunderbans The ORANGE GHOST! This is a most-sought-after moment for us, the wildlife tourists and wildlife photographers; who visit this hostile forest once in a while, in the safety and comfort of big motorized boats. But the same scene turns into nemesis for the local fishermen, crab collectors and honey collectors; whose livelihood is badly entangled with the lurking threats of this swampland. He, who shall not be named, is most feared when moves out of the sight!  *This image is copyright of its original author When the swamp tiger is at a higher position and your boat is sailing right below!  *This image is copyright of its original author
