Sundarbans:
The itinerary could be changed because of tides, daylight hours, moon phases, and weather. But we always try to cover all the mentioned places.
The small boats are best for the Sundarban cruise. We organize a private basis tour with the accommodation of 4-10 people by these boats. The room size is quite smaller, with 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 an 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 best time to visit Bangladesh depends on your preferences and the type of experience you’re seeking. Bangladesh has a tropical monsoon climate with distinct wet and dry seasons.
