Pictures: Dimer Char in the Sundarbans, red crabs, kash grass and homebound trawlers

A photo story from Dimer Char, a quiet stretch of beach and mangrove where the Sundarbans meets the Bay of Bengal.

Dimer Char is a lonely stretch of the Sundarbans where the forest touches the Bay of Bengal. Wide sand beaches, the rhythm of the waves and the silence of the mangroves meet here.

As the sun sinks in the late afternoon the char changes. These recent photographs show that calm side of the Sundarbans.
