Scary Tiger Encounter In Sundarbans - Exploring Remote Bangladesh | Carrie Patsalis

That was such a spellbinding video. I found myself holding my breath.

[@carriepatsalis]

My father is also a Forest Guard. He worked in Sundarbans for more than 11 years. In my childhood I heard many exciting stories of the ferocious tigers from him. You bring those stories to the world. Tons of thanks to you for this work. I have never seen such brave tourists like you. Very few tourists are courage enough to visit in these dangerous part of this forest. Again thanks a lot for visiting here. ❤❤❤

I bet your father had wonderful stories.. a fascinating job! Thanks for your kind words 🥰

[@SamBorgman]

I found you like a month ago. The way you narrate and edit your videos make me feel like I'm watching a BBC documentary. I'm from BD but live in Canada and it's so great to see someone making in-depth videos like this! Really loved all your BD videos. I don't know if you're still there but if not I hope you will go back again and make more videos. There's always so many places to go and see.

[@carriepatsalis]

I am really happy you’re enjoying them! I have a few more to go and I definitely want to return one day 😍

[@carriepatsalis]

Thank you 😊

[@seefan007]

For a tourist, the chance of seeing a tiger in the Sundarbans is generally less than 1%. The tales you hear are amazing though! However, these early morning trips, drifting through the narrow canals on these small boats is also an awesome experience! To be able to hear the birds and monkeys waking up and chirping at each other, piercing the silence all around, or to be able to see the sun rising through the dense fog, and as the sun shines brighter, noticing the different shades of green from the widely different variety of trees and plants indigenous to the Sundarbans… these are memories you can carry through a lifetime! Glad to know that you also had an amazing experience! Loved the video!

[@carriepatsalis]

I couldn’t agree more.. it was such a special experience and I didn’t feel sad that I missed a tiger.. to be honest meeting the locals and hearing stories plus seeing the scratches and paw prints made it so real for me 😍

Your Sundarban touring episode was really amazing. Good job, Carrie

[@carriepatsalis]

Thank you 😊

[@muhammadmohaiminulislam7189]

Most tourists I've seen usually follow the most "touristy" trail in Sundarbans and miss the real essence of this forest. Your guide did a really good job. There are many interesting stories about life in sunderbans. SUndarbans have seen 100+ deaths by tiger in a year in the past with many more injured. Those who work in the jungle know ways to detect a threat and scout the area first for signs of tiger before jumping in. Still unfortunate encounters happen. Hope you'll visit Sundarbans soon again and this time for longer period.

[@carriepatsalis]

I felt so lucky to be taken off the beaten path and also to meet locals working.. offered me a really different insight 😍

[@ahamedullah8418]

Even as a Bangladeshi, yet I've not get the chance to make a visit to this biggest mangrove forest of the world! Whenever I'am watching your vlog, it seems it wasn’t you but me roaming though the journey by myself. Your narration was in-depth, informative and worth of listening. Thanks! Thanks a lot from the core of my heart for your brave and kind visit in Sundarban and educated us a lot about this heavenly forest! May Almighty keep you in sound health and rewarded you with a long life! Keep exploring and best of luck! 😊

Thanks so much! I’ve had the best time in Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@fahimsiddique7624]

amazing to see how much time you've invested in showing your audience the real raw beauty of bangladesh. as you know Royal bengal tigers are predominantly only found in the sundarbans area of our country and india and they have quite the reputation of being such huge majestic beast, they are also very shy and often tries to maintain distance from the locals but trust me even if you don't see them they mostly are watching you from a far. nature is truly amazing innit fun fact: if you ever face a tiger never put your back towards them, it makes them more hostile and they'll definitely jump on you. thank you

[@fahimsiddique7624]

also the locals who go into the jungle to earn their living seeks help from an entity call bonobibi (goddess of the forest) and recently coke studio bangla has launched a music regarding this. might wanna make it a listen.

Hi Carrie when ur next visit to Bangladesh 🇧🇩 pls visit Gazipur District jus north of Dhaka, it has lots to offer to tourists, there’s more than 120 beautiful resorts & also many picnic spots etc. Not far away there’s Asia’s biggest safari park called bangabandhu safari park area consists of nearly 4000 acres of land with 3000 animals from worldwide to see.

[@spandanbd]

wonderful! do you know the English poet Ted Hughes? He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1984 and was the last to hold the office until his death. In 1989, he visited Sundarbans and as a forest officer my father was assigned to accompany him with his entire trip and at the end he wrote a poem for my father. there was no title of the poem but he started with "for Sufi" as our family name is 'Sufi'. My sister still has that original copy of the Poem hanged in her sitting room. you just refreshed my childhood memories. my last visit to Sundarban was in 2018 and and that was our last family tour with my father as he died from covid in 2022 just few hours before I reached there in Bangladesh.

Just around 200 years ago tigers used to roam around all over Bengal hiding behind jungles, forests and bushes. It’s a pity now we almost lost all the tigers. Asian Rhinos got extinct from this area; you still can find some rhinos in Assam across the border on west of Bangladesh.

Yes. It takes you breath away when you see a Tiger in the Sundarbans. No doubt about it. When I read the stories written by Tahawar Ali Khan's book "Man-eaters of Sunderbans" I was truly fascinated about this largest mangrove forest on earth, and about the swamp tigers most of whom are supposedly man-eaters. Do read this book if you love the Sundarbans.

[@rinitaislam3927]

I visited this forest 2 years ago and I loved it as a nature enthusiast. But the stories of this place are shocking, terrifying and wonderful at the same time. Usually, it is forbidden to visit Sundarbans during rainy season as it is the mating season for tigers. I met one boatman, and he very casually told me that he worked in areas with tiger and during the mating seasons, the shear power of the roaring sounds shake their utensils and unsettles them. I was stupid enough not believe them but after coming home, I did my research. To mg surprise, they were telling the truth. The roar of the Bengal Tigers can be heard from as far as over 2miles. Since then, I often wonder, how do you live in a place so far from the mainland, without any basic supplies or protection with one of the most deadliest animals of the world and still manage to put a smile on your face and talk about this incidence so casually. SUNDERBANS, is obviously most famous for being the world’s largest mangrove and the dwelling place Royal Bengal Tigers and Crocodiles, but it should also be recognised for the brave hearts that live there. BTW great video.

[@carriepatsalis]

I can’t imagine hearing the roars.. it must be incredible.. and yes to work there you have to be very very brave and confident you can manage yourself.. I kept forgetting about the other deadly creature eg crocs and snakes..

[@rinitaislam3927]

@@carriepatsalis honesty, you are as brave as them. I have seen other tourists or bloggers to visit Sundanbans and they are mostly stick to the celebrated tourist spots like Kotka or tiger points.
