Common questions

Before you book

Is it safe to travel to the Sundarbans and the Sylhet region?
Yes, absolutely! Your safety is our top priority. We travel with expert naturalists and experienced local guides who know these regions intimately. While the Sundarbans is a wild environment home to tigers and crocodiles, our boat safaris and guided walks are conducted with strict safety protocols. The Sylhet region, including Sreemangal and the national parks, is generally very peaceful and welcoming to international travelers.
What level of physical fitness is required for this tour?
This tour has a "moderate" difficulty level. You should be comfortable with daily activities such as walking on uneven forest trails, getting in and out of small rowing boats, and spending time on a cruising boat. The trekking in Rema-Kalenga and Satchari National Parks involves walking through hilly and forested terrain, so a reasonable level of mobility and stamina will help you fully enjoy the wildlife tracking.
Do I need any special permits for the Sundarbans or the national parks?
You don't need to worry about the paperwork! All necessary permits for entering the Sundarbans, Rema-Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary, Satchari National Park, and Lawachara National Park are arranged by us and are included in your tour package. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the wildlife.
What should I pack for a wildlife tour in Bangladesh?
We recommend packing lightweight, breathable, and neutral-colored clothing (like khaki, green, or brown) to blend in with the environment and avoid startling the wildlife. Bring comfortable, sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots for the forest trails. Don't forget essentials like insect repellent, high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, binoculars for birdwatching, and a good camera. A light rain jacket is also a good idea, just in case.
What are the accommodations and meals like during the trip?
During the Sundarbans portion of the trip, you will spend three nights on a private cruising boat equipped with basic but comfortable facilities. In Dhaka and Sreemangal, you will stay in comfortable hotels or eco-cottages. All your meals are included throughout the tour, featuring delicious local cuisine, and we even include a special lunch visit to a Khasia tribal village.
How does the payment process work for this tour?
For your convenience, we offer flexible payment options. While a deposit may be required to secure your booking and arrange the necessary permits, the remaining balance can often be paid upon arrival in Bangladesh. Please check with our booking team for the exact payment terms and options available for your specific travel dates.

“Just think about enjoying every moment!”

Just everything perfect! We did a 2-week tour: our only “concern” was to get up in the morning and show up in the hotel lobby to enjoy the day! Afridi was our impeccable guide and the driver Zia extricated himself wonderfully in the traffic, nothing short of chaotic! Our needs were taken into account and we also appreciated the flexibility shown by our guide. The atmosphere was cheerful, the knowledge of the country excellent and not least Afridi speaks commendable English! THANK YOU very much for this wonderful adventure!

“Fun, interesting and truly authentic experience in Bangladesh”

My mom and I went on this trip in September 2025, and it was so much fun. Bangladesh is not a common travel destination for Westerners, but I am so glad we took a chance and traveled here for a week. We spent several days touring beautiful tea plantations, interacting with locals, visiting different villages, hiking in the forests, trying new foods, visiting a local village school, and making new friends. The best part was that it was 100% authentic. Our tour guides, Alfridi and Shymol, went out of their way to make us feel safe, happy and satisfied.

“Simply the best”

Just back from a 14-day beautiful tour through Bangladesh with Beyond Borders (Belgium) and Bangladesh Eco Adventure. Wonderful. There is a full program and we saw a lot of the country. Mahadi and Jerry did everything they could to show us as much as possible of this beautiful country. We visited Dhaka, Sonargaon, Sreemangal, Lawachara National Park, Mongla, Barisal, Chittagong and a Sundarban forest 3-day cruise. Often very adventurous — getting around by comfortable bus, boat and train. Lots of local markets, contacts with locals, good hotels, good food. One of our top trips among the many we have made all over the world.

“Unforgettable experience”

Mahadi took us on a trip to Sundarban last March. It was an unforgettable holiday. Everything was so well organized. The team (drivers, boat team) were kind and helpful. With the engine boat we got to explore the beautiful waterways and with the small rowing boat we got close to the mangrove forests with their wild animals. We also got to know this unique and precious environment better through Mahadi’s explanations and books. If you could only visit one place in Bangladesh, we highly recommend this trip.

“10/10 Would recommend them for all Bangladesh tourism!”

Mahadi at Bangladesh Eco Adventure and team really made the trip a dream come true — they handled all logistics, were on time, excellent communicators, well priced and had immense local knowledge. We went to the Sundarbans for a few days, as well as day tours in Sonargaon and Dhaka. Sundarbans in particular is a must see. Myself and my friends had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to recommend them as the people to trust with all your travel and tourism in Bangladesh.
