Bangladesh tour
Boat rides through the flooded Ratargul forest, the clear stones of Jaflong and endless green tea gardens in Sreemangal. A calm, green trip that is at its best in the rainy season.
The itinerary
A plan we know works well. Every part of it can change to suit your dates, your hotels and your pace.
Best time to go: June to October
The monsoon floods Ratargul and turns the tea gardens deep green.
Travel by air or train, visit the shrine of Hazrat Shah Jalal, then Ratargul swamp forest by boat when it is in water.
Jaflong and the Piyain river, then drive south to Sreemangal.
The tea gardens and Lawachara forest, then the train back to Dhaka.
Not included: Travel from Dhaka by air, train or coach, booked on request; Meals not mentioned in the plan; Entry tickets and personal expenses.
Good to know
The forest stands in water from about June to October. In the dry months it is a walk, not a boat ride.
The train from Dhaka is comfortable and scenic, especially through the tea country.
Forest trails get muddy in the monsoon. Bring sandals with grip and a light rain layer.
