Tour Overview

Encompassed by turbid waterways and trimmed by unending tracts of greenery, Barisal is a major harbour city and one of the portals to the water world of Bangladesh. It’s unusually separated from the rest of the nation and its interests are much simpler to reach by vessel than the street. it’s the busy river life, always murmuring with life, that's the genuine centre, and to reach here by watercraft in the early morning is an extraordinary experience.

This tour allows you to enjoy every moment of your travel time starting from Dhaka to coming back. The night cruise is fascinating and pleasant
