Koromjol Reproduction Center
Koromjol is the closest spot to Sundarbans from Mongla. Here, you can observe trees, birds, and monkeys along the wooden pool trail. The forest department has declared this area a breeding ground for deer and crocodiles. If you are short on time and can't venture deep into the forest, you can still get a similar experience here.

Harbaria is another beautiful tourist spot in the Sundarbans. You need to drive 20 km to reach Harbaria from Mongla. Travelers can climb the watchtower to see the entirety of Harbaria. It will take about 30 minutes to walk around the entire wooden path. In the deep forest, you will observe the chirping of birds and monkeys.

Kotka Sanctuary is situated next to the Bay of Bengal. After a short stroll along the Kotka trail, you'll stumble upon Kotka Beach.
