Our US crew travels to Dhaka and the Sundarbans.
We had such a wonderful time in Dhaka and the Ganges Delta. People of Bangladesh are warm, extremely knowledgeable about the world, and very generous. One of the highlights of our trip was to spend time with Nousheen's marvelous family - father, mother, and sister. We relied on their help many times. They are such an accomplished and intelligent family. And, even more than that ~ they are just so nice.
The one of the other highlights of our trip was spending time in the port town of Mongla. It is a classic rough and ready port town ~
The town of Mongla, officially named as ‘Mongla Port Paurashava‘ (municipality) is the second largest seaport of Bangladesh. Standing about 18 km upstream on the river Poshur, Mongla can be termed as the gateway to the world’s largest mangrove forest ‘Sundarbans.’
