You
travel experience in Asia will never be full filled if the biggest mangrove
forest is not there in your travel list. Yes, I am talking about Sundarban. 60%
of it in Bangladesh and rest lyes in India and to explore it you must avail a Sundarban Tour Package for any tour
operator that can be availded from either Bangladesh or India. As I traveled
sundarban from different parts quite a few times, I would recommend to Travel
from Bangladesh and if possible from Shatkhira of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh
holds the most virgin part of Sundarban. It is due to the natural position of
forest, policy and number of tourist density. The facilities are mostly the
same as offered in Sundarban tour package but here I will share my experiences
on Bangladesh tour operators packages as I would recommend to travel through
Bangladesh.
First
of all let’s talk about Bangladesh; it’s a small country beside giant India
offering undiscovered offerings for tourist. It’s great for nature lover, solo
traveler and family travelers but not for fun sicker as there will be no night
clubs and no bikinis in beach. But if you want some experience with people,
life and culture definitely you will be happy to be in Bangladesh.
If
you search of things to do in Bangladesh, you will find “Sundarban Tour” as
most highlighted and truly it should be. There are lots of tour operators in
Bangladesh offering “Sundarban TourPackage” and most of their offer is almost the same, covering places like
Kotka, Kochikhali, Karmjak and Harbaria. But the price differs based on tour
operator and condition of boat. The price of reputed tour operator might be a
bit higher as they offer good guide, good cook on board and also some activities
that are not usually listed in itinerary. The price will vary from $175 -$375,
if you travel in SIC basis with other local tourist. It can go upto $600+ if
you would like to travel as couple on private basis. A group of 5-8 is moderate
and cost will be somewhat around $250.
Sundarban
Tour Package offered mainly from two locations. One from Dhaka another from
Khulna. In Khulna they either start from Rupsha Ghat or from Mongla,an hour
drive from Khulna. From Dhaka you can reach your port of boarding buy Bus.
There are a lot of A/C or Non A/C bus available from Dhaka also other parts of
the country. It takes around 7-8 hours to reach from Dhaka. You can also fly to
jessore and from there use transit bus or rent a car to reach Khulna, a 2 hour
drive. If you would like to get a glitch of beautiful Bangladesh, you can catch
a Rocket or regular steamer to reach Barishal or Morolgong or Hularhut to reach
Khulna from there by bus/car.
Exploring sundarban would
be one of the most fascinating experiences of traveling Bangladesh that would
remain fresh in your mind for years and also the silence of Sundarban will
allow you to dig deep in your soul and think about yourself.
