The Sundarbans (Bangladesh)
Wildlife Reserve · Mongla, Khulna
The largest mangrove forest on earth, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997 and the last great stronghold of the Bengal tiger — a tidal labyrinth of rivers, creeks and forested islands covering roughly six thousand square kilometres of the Ganges delta on the Bangladeshi side alone. This row is the BANGLADESHI portion only: the forest straddles the border and the Indian Sundarbans is a separate destination with its own permits and its own access points. There are no roads; everything here happens by boat, on multi-day tours that leave from Khulna and Mongla rather than from the forest itself.
Karamjal Forest Station, Chandpai Range, Mongla, Khulna, Bangladesh
No fixed hours — access is by permitted boat tour only, effectively from Khulna and Mongla, with shore excursions in daylight. Tours run year-round but the real season is November to February; monsoon (roughly June-September) sailings are reduced and weather-dependent. Hours and access change during Ramadan and around cyclone warnings; confirm with the operator.
