Classical Bangladesh Round Trip, Natural & Cultural Gem on the Delta of the Ganges

Introduction

Bangladesh is a travel destination in Asia which is still almost unknown, and therefore mostly untouched by tourism. Discover with us the realm of the Ganges and Brahmaputra delta! 

Experience a ship cruise of several days through the Sunderbans, the largest contiguous mangrove forest on our earth. Here is hiding, among others, the endangered Bengal tiger and the terrain is a habitat with an impressive biodiversity. 

Discover by land and by water the beauty of the mangrove forest, as well as the cultural and natural diversity of the Chittagong hills. 

This varied tour takes you to lush green tea plantations, various tribal communities in the mountainous region Banderban, and in the megacity of Dhaka. Round off your trip to Bangladesh with a few days on the beach of the Bay of Bengal.
