Situated at the Sajnekali Eco Tourism Centre, the Netidhopani Watch Tower serves as the main entry point to various islands of the Sundarban. It is also the administrative hub where visitors obtain forest permissions to explore the region. Adjacent to the tower are a mangrove interpretation centre, a crocodile park, and a freshwater pond that attracts numerous animals including deer, wild boars, crocodiles, and tigers. With a capacity of 20-25 visitors at once, the breathtaking view from this tower makes it a must-visit destination— often referred to as the "heart of Sundarban tourism." Due to restricted tourism, only a limited number of boats are allowed to visit during peak season. The tower accommodates around 20 visitors at a time and offers a stunning view of the Sundarban Tiger Reserve.
