Bengal tigers live primarily in the forests and mangrove swamps of South Asia. Their range includes India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar (Burma), and some parts of southwestern China

. They inhabit diverse habitats such as tropical moist evergreen forests, tropical dry forests, subtropical and temperate upland forests, alpine forests, mangrove swamps (notably the Sundarbans mangrove forest in India and Bangladesh), tall grasslands, and alluvial grasslands along major river systems like the Gangetic and Brahmaputra plains

. India holds the largest population of Bengal tigers, with several protected areas and tiger reserves such as Ranthambhore National Park, Kanha-Pench, Corbett, and others serving as key habitats. Nepal also has significant populations in parks like Chitwan and Parsa, while Bangladesh’s Sundarbans mangrove forest is a critical habitat for this subspecies

. In summary, Bengal tigers live in:

• India (various forests and reserves across the country)
• Bangladesh (especially the Sundarbans mangrove forest)
• Nepal (national parks like Chitwan and Parsa)
• Bhutan (forested regions)
• Myanmar (some parts)
• Southwestern China (limited areas)

These habitats range from dense forests and grasslands to mangrove swamps, reflecting the Bengal tiger’s adaptability to different environments
