Huge sea and the estuary of Bakkhali river on one side. Among these, mangrove forests of various species of perennial plants including bain and keora are spread over about 600 hectares of land. Rows of flying deer, migratory birds or wild boars touching the head of the tree. It would seem that this is another Sundarbans. On the way from Kasturaghat in Cox's Bazar to Maheshkhali-Kutubdia and Sonadia coast, this forest is seen at the mouth of Bankkhali river. To locals and tourists, it is known as the 'Mini Sundarbans'. In winter, different species of guest birds can be seen in this forest. Many endangered birds of the world are now found in this forest. Such a combination of green and living species can be seen at Nuniachhara point of Cox's Bazar beach. The Department of Forests and Environment wants to use this wonderful combination of green and animals. At the initiative of the Cox's Bazar office of the Department of Environment, observation has been made near the forest to attract tourists to this storm-tidal forest.
