This exclusive 3-day Sundarban tour package
Sundarban Tour begins and ends in Mongla, with optional car service from Khulna available upon request (not included in the tour). Within 15 minutes of departing Mongla, we’ll enter the majestic Sundarban, starting our journey towards Kochikhali. This comprehensive wildlife tour in Bangladesh includes all major attractions, from serene boat rides on small canals in search of tigers to exploring Katka Sea Beach and trekking through the Sundarban. Get ready for an unforgettable adventure into the wild!
Departing from Mongla, the gateway to the forest, our intimate small-group tours are limited to just 6 travelers. Unlike traditional operators from Khulna who host large groups of 40-70 people on crowded boats, spending an entire day on a round-trip to the forest, we ensure a more focused and efficient wildlife experience.
Food and hygiene are top priorities during our Sundarban tours.
We provide bottled water and freshly prepared meals, including local fish and other delicacies. For vegan and vegetarian guests, we are happy to customize your meals to meet your preferences. This Sundarban tour in Bangladesh offers a unique opportunity to connect with the local communities living in and around the Sundarbans, gaining insight into their daily lives and the challenges they face.
The Sundarbans is the world's largest mangrove forest and one of the most untamed and lesser-known ecosystems in southern Asia. Situated in the vast delta created by the merging of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna Rivers in the Bay of Bengal, the Sundarban spans over 10,000 square kilometers. Approximately two-thirds of this vast forest lies within Bangladesh, with the remainder in India. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is also designated as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.

Things you should know about Sundarban Tour Bangladesh (3-Days)
Why Book a Three-Day Tour of Sundarbans Instead of a One-Day?
A common misconception is that a one-day tour is enough to see everything in the Sundarbans. This isn't true. One-day tours often offer limited experiences, akin to visiting a zoo, where you might see a few captive deer, a couple of crocodiles in breeding facilities, and a tortoise breeding center. These attractions are typically part of the final day of a more immersive tour. A three-day tour allows you to dive deep into the mangrove forest, experience the dynamic interplay of ocean and mangrove, and witness wildlife in their natural habitat, offering a truly enriching experience that a one-day tour simply cannot provide.
What Should I Expect from a Sundarbans Tour?
A Sundarbans tour is an adventure through the largest mangrove forest in the world. Expect to see a variety of wildlife, including the famous Bengal tiger, spotted deer, saltwater crocodiles, and numerous bird species. The tour typically includes boat rides through narrow canals, guided walks, and visits to local conservation projects. You’ll experience the unique ecosystem of the Sundarbans, where the ocean meets the forest, and learn about the importance of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Why is a Small Group Private Tour Better in Sundarbans?
Small group private tours offer an exclusive and intimate experience. These tours allow for quieter, closer encounters with nature, including trekking and riding on noiseless canals, increasing the chances of spotting wildlife. Larger groups tend to be noisier and less flexible, often resulting in fewer wildlife sightings. By choosing a small group tour, you enhance your opportunity to fully experience the natural beauty and wildlife of the Sundarbans.
What is the Best Way to Visit Sundarbans?
The best way to visit the Sundarbans is by starting from Mongla. While many tours begin from Khulna, starting from Mongla means you are only 20 minutes away from entering the Sundarbans, compared to a 4-6 hour journey from Khulna depending on the tide. This saves time and allows you to spend more hours exploring the forest, maximizing your chances of wildlife sightings and enjoying the natural beauty of the Sundarbans.
Is there anything else to consider when choosing a Sundarban tour company?
While travel time is an important factor, you should also consider the types of boats offered, accommodation options on the tours, and the company's reputation for safety and responsible tourism practices. Our tours ensure the highest safety for guests with forest guards and local guides inside Sundarbans. We prioritize cleanliness of boat accommodations and provide bottled water to avoid waterborne diseases.
Which Part of Sundarbans is Better: Bangladesh or India?
The Sundarbans is a vast mangrove forest shared by Bangladesh and India, with the larger portion located in Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi side offers a more extensive and varied experience due to its size and the richness of its biodiversity. While the Indian side has its own charm and attractions, the Bangladeshi Sundarbans provides a more immersive and comprehensive exploration of this unique ecosystem.

Sundarban Tour Bangladesh (3-Days) Details Itinerary
The journey begins at 6:00 am with a 1.5-hour drive to Mongla. Upon arrival, you'll transfer to our boat and head directly into the Sundarbans, having breakfast on board. Within 15 minutes, you'll be inside the forest. We'll stop at a forest station to complete formalities and then continue towards Kochikhali.
We'll navigate through tiny canals and rivers that larger boats can't access due to their size and the shallowness of the canals. On this private tour in a small boat, you might spot a tiger and various wildlife if you're lucky.
Stop at Harbaria Eco Park for a 30-minute walk, your first experience of the Sundarbans. Many day tours end here, but we don't recommend it.
Before sunset, explore a small canal on a noiseless wooden rowboat, quietly floating in search of wildlife. Animals come to drink water in the evening and morning. Listen to birds chirping and the sounds of other animals. We'll reach Kochikhali by evening and anchor for the night.
