Unforgettable Sundarbans Wildlife Tour from Mongla
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey into the Sundarbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Starting from Mongla—the closest gateway to the forest—this 3-day adventure takes place on a cozy houseboat with only 1–8 guests, ensuring a peaceful and intimate experience. Unlike the crowded, picnic-style tours from Khulna on large boats carrying 40–70 people (which waste a full day just reaching the forest), this tour maximizes your time deep inside the wilderness.
Spot Royal Bengal Tigers, spotted deer, saltwater crocodiles, wild boars, river dolphins, clawless otters, and countless species of birds and reptiles. Cruise along hidden creeks and canals, take guided nature walks, and explore one of the planet’s most diverse tidal ecosystems.
Our Sundarban tours are designed for those who value authenticity, comfort, and responsible travel. With strict attention to safety, hygiene, and eco-friendly practices, you’ll experience the forest in a way most travelers never do—far from tourist crowds, focused entirely on wildlife and pristine nature.
The Sundarbans stretches over 10,000 square kilometers, where the mighty Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers meet the Bay of Bengal. About two-thirds lies in Bangladesh, with the remainder in India. Protected under UNESCO and the Ramsar Convention, it is one of the most important ecosystems on Earth, sheltering over 300 species of birds, 42 mammals, 35 reptiles, 8 amphibians, and 120 fish species.
Your 3-day Sundarban adventure begins and ends in Mongla (just 53 km from Khulna and 240 km from Dhaka). We can arrange transfers from Khulna for convenience, and for travelers wishing for a seamless journey from Dhaka, we also offer extended Sundarban packages covering transportation, logistics, and additional exploration.
With its exclusive routing, small group size, and access to narrow waterways off-limits to large vessels, this tour offers the best chance to encounter wildlife in its natural habitat. A truly unique and unforgettable way to explore one of South Asia’s last untouched wildernesses.
