The fresh morning air on a rowing boat going up the canals, spotting a snake sunning itself in the morning, tracking through the soft smooth floor of the mangrove forest - the Sundarbans are well worth the visit for the peace and sense of distance from the rest of the planet. Tanks to Banbanjara is for these days happy and memorable for us.
