Bangladesh is home to some stunning and diverse forests that are truly enchanting. From the magnificent Sundarbans to the freshwater Ratargul Swamp Forest, the forests that dot the landscape are a treasure trove waiting to be discovered. If you are an adventurer at heart, nothing can be more exciting than a thrilling adventure in the wild. So, whether you are a nature enthusiast or an adventure seeker, we have gathered a list of 5 beautiful forests for you to visit in Bangladesh.
Regarded as the world's largest mangrove forest, the Sundarbans is home to the majestic Bengal Tiger and a haven for threatened species such as the Indian python.
The forest has also a stunning ecosystem that houses a diverse range of plants and animals – including the beautiful saltwater crocodiles and beautiful spotted deer. The enchanting land of Sundarbans is crisscrossed by a complex network of tidal waterways and mudflats.
So, depending on how much area you want to explore, you can either go on a month-long adventure or enjoy a shorter week-long trip that covers both the river and the forest.
Imagine entering an enchanting forest that is veiled with the branches of half-submerged trees, where the sweet chirping of birds and the occasional sightings of snakes will fill you with awe for the vastness of mother nature. Ratargul Swamp Forest – located in Gowain River, Sylhet – is such a forest.
It is one of the very few freshwater swamp forests in the world. This evergreen territory hosts an uncountable number of snakes, lizards, insects, and birds, which remains submerged in water in most seasons.
The forest can be visited by reserving engine boats, commonly known as trawlers, and it is located approximately 26 kilometres away from Sylhet city.
Are you longing to take a solitary walk-through nature surrounded by trees and countless species of birds, animals, and reptiles? The mesmerising Lawachara National Park might just be the place for you as here you can heartily enjoy hiking and trekking.
However, do consider taking a local guide with you. It is a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. The dense forest of Lawachara will offer you the opportunity to view the hubbub of birds and animals from a closer distance.
