Waxpol Hotels and Resorts

Creating Positive Impact Since 2004

For over two decades, Waxpol Hotels & Resorts has demonstrated that tourism can be a force for conservation and community development. Across our destinations, we create local employment, support traditional livelihoods, promote cultural preservation and encourage responsible travel practices. In several communities, tourism has provided sustainable alternatives to activities that once placed pressure on fragile ecosystems, helping create long-term incentives for conservation.

From supporting local artisans and performers to creating opportunities for future generations, our goal has always been to ensure that the benefits of tourism remain within the communities that make these destinations unique. Every stay contributes to a larger story — one that values people, protects nature and celebrates the rich cultural heritage of India’s wilderness landscapes.

Sunderban Tiger Camp

Our journey began with Sunderban Tiger Camp in 2004, long before sustainable tourism became part of mainstream travel conversations.

Located in the heart of the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove ecosystem and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sunderban Tiger Camp was created with a vision of demonstrating that tourism could become a catalyst for conservation and community development.

Life in the Sundarbans is unlike anywhere else on earth. Surrounded by water, yet facing a constant scarcity of freshwater, island communities have learned to live in harmony with one of the planet's most challenging environments. Even today, rainwater harvesting remains an essential part of daily life and sustainable operations.

More than 95% of our team members come from local communities. Over the years, responsible tourism has helped create alternative livelihoods for families that were once heavily dependent on forest resources for survival. Many individuals who once relied on activities such as poaching, illegal resource extraction or risky forest-based occupations have become advocates for conservation, tourism and sustainable livelihoods.

Sunderban Tiger Camp embraces the spirit, culture and resilience of the Sundarbans. Guests experience local traditions, island life, community interactions and the extraordinary biodiversity of this unique landscape while contributing directly to its long-term preservation.

This is not simply a resort in the Sundarbans—it is a story of people, conservation and coexistence.
