So on the first day of going to Sundarbans, the first day's journey is every moment's work and I am going to share with you today some descriptions of some natural beauty I have seen.


But I am giving some brief description about Sundarbans in advance for everyone's understanding.


✅Sundarbans


It is located in Khulna Division in the southwestern region of Bangladesh. But it extends over parts of Khulna, Bagerhat and Satkhira districts of Bangladesh and parts of West Bengal, India.However, Bangladesh covers two-thirds of the Sundarbans covering 10,000 square kilometers..

The Sundarbans is a vast, unbroken, brackish water environment of the world's largest mangrove (salt water-grown plant) forest in the coastal region. UNESCO recognized Sundarbans as a World Heritage Site in 1997 as a National Park.

Among the special plants grown in Sundarbans are the Sundari tree, Keora tree, and Golpata tree, apart from the famous Royal Bengal tiger and various types of wildlife.


Today we had our first vehicle from Dhaka Airport Station Express Chitra Express overnight journey and came to Khulna Railway Station by train . This is the first time I have come to Khulna district so I was welcomed in the early morning of Khulna district.We got off the train with our luggage and walked out of the station.Just 5.00 am we're gone at Khulna station before the sun rises this winter morning.So we sat for a while and waited at the station, then with an auto Rickshaw we came to Jailkhana Ghat in Khulna city.

The darkness of the night has not yet passed, illuminated by the light of electricity. At the entrance of the Jailkhana Ghat, the fruit shop is sitting, on the other hand, different types of food items are seen.We are waiting here, as soon as the guide of our ship arrives to receive us and take us to the ship and with him we come to the wharf. And our journey to the Sundarbans began. Since we will travel to Sundarbans by ship and this ship does not approach the wharf, the ship's anchor was in the middle of the river.

We have to go to the ship by engine-powered boat first. We boarded the engine-powered boat ', from the small engine-powered boat we will leave our cruise ship MV. UTSHAB.

We are floating in the water and the meeting of Bhairav and Rupsa rivers illuminated with colorful lights all around.Midway through the river I saw a passenger-laden dollar engine shut down.So our engine-driven boatman was bringing that engine-powered boat tied up with a rope. Viewing our specific ship from afar.Looks pretty like the flashes of light swaying in the water.Then in 10 minutes we arrived at our particular destination of our cruise ship .

We had a tour package of two nights and three days.We have confirmed our package tour by paying all the payments online from Dhaka. For your convenience, I am giving the link of this tour.

Lights still shining all around, dawn still not fully visible and floating ships could be seen from a distance.I was having quite a different mood and this is the first time I will travel to Sundarbans by ship and spend the night by ship. In 10 minutes we came to our ship and from boat we came to our room with our luggage.

The three-storey ship had two AC couple rooms on the second floor, one for us and the other for my sons 207, 208. Then I freshened up a bit and came to the three floors, where there was dining inside the ship and the outside was decorated with furniture for the tourists to sit. The swing was I sat on the swing and swung for a long time and took some pictures. Pretty happy working in mind.

At exactly 6:30 the ship's engine started and I was watching the scenery around from a distance showing black smoke from the brick kiln which is the main cause of environmental pollution. Standing in the lobby of the ship capturing what I see around on mobile.

Then came down to our room.We already had soap toothpaste brushes in our room, so we brushed our teeth and freshened up and ate the cake.Since I have traveled by train at night, my body was also very tired, so I slept in the room for a while and rested.

Suddenly I heard that we have been given morning breakfast so that everyone can come in time.We came to the dining room and looked around as if the sun was peeking out and did some photoshoots where we looked only water and water and small boats were passing by and some other cruise ships .Somewhere again the engine-driven sand boat is running. It seems that the boat will sink now

When the watching episode was over, I came to the dining room for breakfast.We were being given breakfast, breakfast was a self service so we brought breakfast as we liked and had a very tasty breakfast in the morning with great joy and a lot of fun, and two parathas, eggs, mix vegetables, boot pulses, drinks were orange juice and fruits had bananas and semai as desserts.

We're sailing, we're keeping up with the ship. From a distance can be seen the estuaries of three rivers, from one side to the other by boat. Which continues to cross the Rupsa River. Suddenly, when the estuaries of this river meet, Oceanic dolphins can be seen here again.We are now flowing over the Rupsa river and going from a distance which I am recording on camera on my mobile is Khulna Shipyard ,Cement Factory and further on Khan Jahan Ali bridge /Rupsa bridge can be seen from a distance.

Mongla port, Rampal power plant while crossing these I fell asleep at some point. Then woke up to the sound and came to the dining room and saw that we were again given cake and tea as snacks.After eating these we were sitting in our room watching the scenery all around. It will take at least four to five hours for us to reach, so we sit and watch the scenery around, this is how our journey to Sundarbans started.

Thank you all on my behalf
Best Regards
