It remains unpeopled except between the months of October and February because it is the timing of fishing. Once upon a time, fishermen came from the Chittagong and Noakhali areas of Bangladesh for fishing. The main reasons for using Jambudwip were the island’s proximity to the fishing grounds, the presence of a natural creek for the safe harboring of their boats, and the supply of drinking water.

The view of Mangrove Forest is so eye-soothing. It is a famous place to visit from Mousuni Island. Mangrove forests thrive near the mouths of large rivers where river deltas provide lots of sediment. Mangrove roots collect sediments and slow the water’s flow, help to save the coastline, and prevent erosion. With time, the roots can collect enough debris and mud to extend the edge of the coastline further out. Shorebirds, crab-eating monkeys, and fishing cats all make the mangrove Extra-Ordinary. Mangroves provide a safe home for a variety of fish, birds, and other creatures. The Mangrove Forest is 10 minutes away from our hotel through the river.
