Southwestern Bangladesh is a land of rivers, tides, mangrove forests, coastal life, and medieval Islamic heritage. This 5-day Khulna & Sundarbans Heritage Tour is designed especially for foreign families and cultural travelers who want a balanced journey—nature, wildlife, river cruises, coastal communities, and UNESCO heritage, without rushing. The highlight is a 2-day immersive experience inside the Sundarbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest, combined with the vibrant port and coastal life of Khulna and the medieval Islamic monuments of Bagerhat.

Led by Istiyak Ahamed Srabon, an experienced professional tour guide in Dhaka, the tour takes you beyond usual landmarks.
