At IIM C there are a lot of different club the students can attend, one of them is the adventure club. In the beginning of september the adventure club arranged a trip to the sundarbans. The sundarbans is a national park best known for its tigers and mangrove trees. It is located by the Bay of Bengal. Se more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundarbans the trip started out Saturday morning at campus, where we were picked up by a bus, of course the bus was late :-) so we were just hanging out by one of the dorms at campus.
Finally the bus came and we were on the way. After a few hours of driving through the Calcutta traffic. After a few hours of driving we had a flat tire, so this meant us having a pit stop more, in a very small village in the middle of nowhere in West Bengal. Late in the evening we arrived at the dock where our boat were, the boat took us to a "hotel" within/close to the sundarbans, so that we could get some rest and an early start the next morning. The next pictures is from out "hotel"
The whole Sunday we were sailing around the sundarbans to see the area and maybe a tiger. No tigers showed up, but we got so see the beautiful mangrove trees and the rivers. Below there are a few pictures from the trip.
It was a great trip where I got to see some nature that are very different from the place where i grew up. :-)
