Bagerhat and Sundarbans Tour

The Sundarbans mangrove forest is one of the most extensive single such forests in the world (140,000 ha). It lies on the delta of the Bay’s Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers of Bengal. It is adjacent to the border of India’s Sundarbans World Heritage site inscribed in 1987. The site is intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways, mudflats, and small islands of salt-tolerant mangroves.  It presents an excellent example of ongoing ecological processes. The area is known for its wide range of fauna, including 260 bird species, the man-eating Bengal tiger, and other threatened species such as the estuarine crocodile and the Indian python.

Tour Highlights:

UNESCO Heritages: Visit two world heritages, Sundarbans and Sixty Dome Mosque in a single trip.

Magical Forest: The silence of the forest will blow your mind.  The tides & moonlight make it more interesting.  It's a kind of meditation anyway.

Wildlife Hunting: Spot wildlife from the boat.  walk through the forest and small canal to watch a closer view.  Our expeditions to the wildlife sanctuaries are pretty interesting to make happen. Spotting wildlife from the watchtower is a typical way but interesting.

Adventure Cruise: The whole trip is an adventure. It's the fear of man-eating Tigers. Country boat rides through the creeks and deep forest walking are thrilling.

Deep Forest Walking: Walk into the forest with the armed guard and feel the variety of forests.

Bay of Bengal: Enjoy the view of the Bay of Bengal at Jamtola sea beach and Kotka. Sunset & Sunrising at Kotka makes you charmed when you feel the silence.

Fishing Village: Live fishing on the river, fishermen's village & lifestyle are the things you can experience. Especially, shrimp & crab firms are noticeable.

Notes:

The itinerary could be changed because of tides, daylight hours, moon phase, and weather. But we'll cover all the mentioned places as per the itinerary.

Old Rocket Steamer is out of service but modern rocket ships are available on the same route.

The small boats are best for the Sundarban cruise. We organize a private basis tour with the accommodation of 4-10 people with a reserved boat. The room size is quite smaller, no running hot water, electricity is supplied by the battery, and a small generator to charge up the electrical devices. But it’s comfortable to spend days with the facilities.

We make the food on the boat by the experienced chef during the trip.

The quantity of mosquitoes is more sometimes. You must carry the mosquito repellent for the trip.

No phone signal works inside the deeper forest. But at some point, you will get a phone signal to call the emergency. If you use Bangladeshi TeleTalk SIM, we’ll get better coverage in a remote area like Kotka.

The chance of seeing tigers is very rare in the Sundarbans. The lucky one gets the chance of it.

Make yourself silent for the boat trip or walking into the forest. The best way to explore Sundarban is to keep silent and look.
