Daylong River Cruise Around Dhaka

$111 tour starting at

Daylong River cruise is very refreshing and a backwater cruise through rivers around Dhaka makes the day charming. Whether sailing on the Bay of Bengal or traversing the marshlands, boats are ubiquitous throughout Bangladesh. A daylong river cruise to the Shitalakha River is an opportunity to relax with friends and family on a cozy boat. Journey through the beautiful landscape, the panorama of riverside activities, some old heritage sites, local craft and traditional textile visits, along with tea, coffee, snacks and freshly prepared local food for lunch, makes the day exciting. The boat is within 35 km (1 to 1.5 hours driving) distance from Dhaka city. We are flexible to start the trip earlier than the scheduled time. We need a minimum of 6 adults or equivalent payments to operate this trip.

Dhaka’s extensive river system supports life. Buriganga, Turag, Shitalakkhya, and other waterways have shaped the city’s history and culture for millennia. A daylong river cruise lets you experience this dynamic riverine culture and escape the city’s hustle and bustle.
