Thank you so much for choosing us as your tour partner. You are truly an adventurous traveler with a never-ending desire to travel.
This is a relaxing trip. It starts from Dhaka early in the morning with a six-hour train ride to get to the boat. You will see changing countryside on the train journey. On the boat ride, you will see life on the river. We saw people swimming, farming, and washing clothes. We saw buffalo cooling themselves in the water and even swimming across the river to feed on a nearby island. You can sit on the top of the boat to see the different landscapes, read, or sunbathe on the cushions that are provided. The boat will stop in some villages, where you will see what life is like for the locals. The return trip is a twelve-hour train ride back to Dhaka. You will see yet different landscapes on the way back. There is plenty of time on the trains and boat to relax, catch up on your reading, and play games. The meals were excellent and the crew was very attentive to our every need. Life on the boat is rustic, which made it a unique experience for us.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to serve you

I went to Bangladesh in order to live and discover the country and I can easily say that it was amazing. I visited most of the country by road trip and I also the chance to navigate the Brahmaputra river on a boat with Waterways tour. A great experience that I would reccomend to anyone.
