Our last stop in Bangladesh is the largest mangrove forest
of the world; Sundarbans. This UNESCO World Heritage Site lies in the southwest
of Bangladesh.
To get there we have to leave the beach and head back to
Dhaka (12 hours) and from there on, we take another bus to the south again (10
hours). There are no direct connections between those two places even if they
are not very far away from each other. Well, this is a great opportunity to
meet a lot (!!!) of new people, again!From Mongla, we explore the north area of
Sundarbans by boat. We are glad to see great wildlife. Amongst crocodiles, lizards,
dolphins, tortoises, monkeys, the Sundarbans is also home to the great Bengal
tiger. (which, unfortunately, we did not see, but we got great pictures from our guide!!!) ;-)
We would have loved staying overnight in the forest, but had
to leave the country on the next morning. Unfortunately we only managed to get a
visa for 14 days.
Nice little kitty ;-)
ReplyDeleteBtw, I definitely like the interior of the car, you gotta tell me what brand it is when back in Lux, hope they sell it here! Seems a bit rainy over there, is it?
