HYDERABAD: West Bengal could not take up tourism packages with Andhra Pradesh, as the long distance between the two States was a major constraint.

Mr. Rao said West Bengal has been developing tourism potential in a big way.

The picturesque Sunderbans and Jaldapara wildlife sanctuary has a lot to offer to animal lovers. There was 80 per cent chances of spotting rhinos and bisons during jungle safari.
