Netidhopani

Netidhopani is situated at the extreme south-eastern part of the tourism zone of the Sunderbans Tiger Reserve. South of Netidhopani is a Core Zone where no tourist activities are allowed. This place has a watchtower and ruins of an old brick temple. Traces of an old road, lined on both sides with Bakul trees can also be seen here. The temple is believed to be of Neta, the usher woman who saved the life of Laxminder at the earnest prayer of his wife Behula, according to the legends. The forest here has all the wildlife typical to Sunderbans.
