Recently took the 2 night/3 day Sunderban Tiger Camp tour - personally I thought Sunderbans was a bit overrated - you won't see much wildlife due to the thick mangroves (you can see about 10 metres in from the waters edge, so you'll miss the tiger at 11 metres who sits there watching the boats cruise by). Was very peaceful though, with nice accomodation and food at the camp.

The large signs with "Quiet please" or "Keep silence" posted everywhere so noisy tourists do not scare the wildlife away, were written in Bengali, English and Hindi, but none of the Indians seemed to be able to read them!
