Sundarban Tour Package from Dhaka

Beyond the Sundarbans

When travelers look for a Sundarban Tour Package from Dhaka, they usually imagine exploring the world’s largest mangrove forest, spotting the Royal Bengal Tiger, and enjoying a quiet cruise on the rivers of Khulna.

🗺️ Places You’ll Visit on This Tour

Unlike a typical Sundarban package, which mostly covers rivers and forest spots, this trip will take you across lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and cultural landmarks.

1. Tanguar Haor

A vast wetland ecosystem that spans over 100 square kilometers. Famous for migratory birds in winter, local fishing communities, and breathtaking sunsets.

2. Haor Watch Tower

The perfect place to get a panoramic view of the endless waters. At sunrise and sunset, the sky reflects beautifully on the water, making it a photographer’s paradise.

3. Shahid Siraj Lake

A tranquil freshwater lake surrounded by lush greenery. The peaceful environment is ideal for relaxation.

4. Tekerghat

Located near the India border, Tekerghat is famous for its limestone hills, making it one of the most scenic spots in the region.

5. Niladri Lake (Barikka Tila)

A crystal-blue lake often compared to the lakes of Meghalaya. Its surreal color makes it one of the most photogenic places in Sunamganj.

6. Shimul Bagan (Zainal Abedin’s Garden)

A field of Shimul trees that bloom with fiery red flowers in spring. This iconic spot is linked to the famous artist Zainul Abedin.

7. Jadukata River

Known for its transparent blue water, the Jadukata River flows from the Indian hills into Bangladesh. Perfect for swimming and boat rides.

8. Lakma Chhara

A natural waterfall hidden in the green hills. To reach it, you’ll travel by bike, auto-rickshaw, or the iconic “Chander Gari” (local shared jeep).
