Trip Itinerary

Day 1: CRUISE TRHOUGH THE FOREST TO KATKA

The boat will start early morning, depending on the tide from Khulna and will ride the low tide all the way to Kachikhali, all the way to the coast of Bay of Bengal.

DAY 2: A DAY IN THE FOREST

This whole day will be full of activities. In the early morning, after a cup of tea we will have a Silent Country Boat Trip through the narrow creeks. This is the beast way to observe wildlife, especially Birds and occasionally tigers. Around 8 breakfast on the lounge. Get ready for next three hours. We will start a gentle walk through the meadow and through the forest looking at herds of Chital, the spotted deer and other terrestrial animals. Then we’ll have long beach walk all the way to Badaltala beach. A pristine sandy beach. By now the Sun is high and you can not resist to ump into the tropical warm water. after the swimming take a snack break. From Badaltala the walk to the boat through Jamtala grassland is rewarding. By then you should be very hungry. But when you’ll see the lunch table you’ll know the wait was worthwhile. After a huge lunch lets have a silent boat trip to relax. most probably you’ll fall into a power nap to get ready for the evening party. Come back to the boat before the sunset and watch the last sun of the year setting in to the Bay of Bengal while you enjoy a hot cup of coffee. Then let light up the fire and get ready for a BBQ dinner. The boat will start cruise to Tambulbunia and will anchor it there for the night.
DAY 3: RECHARGE YOURSELF ON THE CRUISE BACK

After the boat trip in the early morning the boat will cruise to Harbaria through a beautiful river. Upon arriving Harbaria you’ll have a walk on a wooden path through a gorgeous Sundari forest. Just a bit careful, sometime the monkeys can get too friendly. Get back to the boat with a good appetite and enjoy your lunch.
