Sundarbans Tour Bangladesh

The Sundarbans mangrove forest, one of the largest such forests in the world (140,000 ha) lies on the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers on the Bay 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 mangrove forests, and 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 Royal Bengal tiger, and other threatened species such as the estuarine crocodile and the Indian python.

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.

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

The forest is a veil of wilderness and haunting with its deepness of endless waterways. More than 300 hundred rivers-canal and its mystic tidal changes allow incentive adventure through the mangrove carpet. Sundarbans connect 80 kilometers of the Bay of Bengal and its sandy beaches that are quite natural. The silence of the forest overwhelms the mind and produces a restful ambiance that helps anyone to fill the heart away from routine life. The beauty of Sundarbans is wildlife. The only thing you can hear in the forest is the sound of water, wind, birds, and animals. The full moon at Sundarbans is a mystery. Dinner inside the forest on the full moon is genuinely memorable. Plenty of deer comes to the bank of the river to drink at night. When you target a spotlight, you can see the shiny eyes of animals. Imagine a night in the deep forest where there’s no human and you are sleeping in a small ship cabin. You will meditate by the sound of silence and water waves. And of course, you can hear the roar of the tiger, the Royal Bengal Tiger if you are lucky.

The banks of the rivers-canal host a lot of animals and are truly fascinating. Crocodiles basking in the sun, deers hunting foods, birds running for fish, otters swimming, and sometimes dolphins saying hello to you at the same time is an unforgettable visual for a lifetime. The small tiny canals and a country boat trip in the early morning permit one to experience the elegance of the forest. A lot of birds you can see when going through the canals. You can see a deer eating leaves and running when you got by them. Kotka is a place where a see more than a hundred deers together. You can get closer and closer if they are busy eating.

The most exciting thing in Sundarbans is walking inside the forest. This is an adventurous and horrible moment at the same time when you know there are the man-eating tigers and it could be anywhere, anytime. The forest guards with their guns give you the courage to experience the moment. Walking inside the mangrove trees and the field covered by tiger fern and watching running deers are a lifetime experience.

Waiting for a tiger from a watchtower could be the best thing. Cups of tea with a binocular or a camera with a telephoto lens and your patience of waiting to see a tiger are a true wild. Only a very lucky one can see a tiger, but you can see the pugmark. Whatever the past reports, the number of tigers are increasing when we got some baby tigers on our watch.

Sundarbans, having their natural-wild vastness is the best place to spend in Bangladesh. It’s having more activities than we can write. You will experience it when you are in the middle of Sundarbans. You cannot forget a single moment if you visit once.
