Then, for the true adventurer, there are the Sunderbans, tropical jungles and marshes that lie deep in the delta areas of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers. They were once the hunting grounds for the Royal Bengal tiger. Today you can see wild pigs, abundant bird life and deer, as well as the occasional tiger. Travel to the Sunderbans is by boat through a myriad of backwaters. Boats are available for hire by the hour or by the day.
Guides are also available.
Khulna is the principal town of the region and can be reached by the famous Rocket Steamer from Dhaka. Or one can travel by air to Jessore and go overland from there. There are a number of rest houses in Khulna. Modern excursion lodges in the jungles are also available. The real thrill of touring Bangladesh is to travel by ferries and old fashioned steamers.
