Most of the tigers are sighted from this tower. Some other wildlife like axis deer and crocodiles may also be seen from here.
In 1903, Sir David Hamilton bought 40 square kilometres of the Sundarbans from the British Indian government, including Gosaba, Rangabelia, and Satjelia. His efforts at developing these places brought in other people into this area. The people dared not only to struggle against nature but also the predators that lived there – tigers, crocodiles, sharks and lizards. The predators killed so many people that Hamilton gave rewards to people who killed them. In December 1932, Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore visited and stayed in the bungalow of Sir David Hamilton.
