Regular Trip to the Sundarbans with M.B. Mawali
Trip Highlights
This is the most basic trip to the Sundarbans. It has a little bit of everything; A glimpse of the forest and it’s extra ordinary wildlife, a bit of adventure and exploration, astounding eating experience and a little bit of time for absolute relaxation and contemplation.
This 3 days 2 nights trip starts from Khulna and will travel to Katka and Kachikhali and return back to Khulna. The trip will encompass with at least two Silent Country Boat Trip in to the canals, Walk through muddy forest looking for Pugmark, Walking on wooden path and a Beach Walk. All the meals will be served on board.
This trip is very slimier to basic trip with Bawali. But just because of the boat, the Mawali, the experience will be quite different. And also because of a smaller group of people the itinerary becomes flexible according to the interest of the group.

Mawali’s low heigh gives a more intimate perspective of the forest and its wildlife, while smaller size allows it to venture deeper in to the forest. Mawali is the only boat in the Sundarbans which uses Solar Energy for utility power supply. read more.
