This is a representative map of Sunderbans (source unknown to us - apologies for inability to quote source). It shows the various inhabitable areas along with the Tiger Project / Wildlife sanctuary areas (shown in red & blue dotted lines) in the Sunderbans region.
Our area of action is going to be "Chargheri'r char" (the distribution point) and four other neighbouring villages called "Lahiripur", "Santigachi", "Bidhan Colony" and "Porosmoni". These are part of Satjelia which is indicated in the map.

Considering we start the river journey from Sonakhali / Basanti, this map explains why it takes us so much time (3 hours one way - can be more depending on the tide) to reach Satjelia. The steamer got a little delayed today in the morning. The immediate impact of its late arrival was that the team from Kolkata returned back home past 1 am in the morning.
