What To Expect
Bangladesh is known as the greatest delta country in the world because of the three great rivers, the Ganges, the Megha and the Brahmaputra that flow through this land to the Bay of Bengal . So taking a river ride is indeed the best way to get into the heart of the country. A very good way to do this is to board the legendary ‘Rocket’ Paddle Steamer, built by the British about 100 years ago, and still running in its own unique way. The port of Barisal is situated in the southern part of Bangladesh and here you will discover something quite rare and valuable in the world, because this area is surrounded by rivers and canals; the lifestyle of the people is very different from the rest of the country. Floating markets selling vegetables, rice, fruit, and all other products are quite exciting to see in the morning hours. Both parties, sellers and buyers, operate from their own boats.The Rocket Steamer Tour description:
