If wildlife and wild mangrove country interest you more than busy beaches, this package is built for you. Stay at our Mayer Bari homestay near Bakkhali and take a boat out to Lothian Island, one of the quietest and most protected corners of the Sundarban Biosphere.
Lothian Island is a wildlife sanctuary set among dense mangrove forest, where the rivers meet the sea. It is home to estuarine crocodiles, spotted deer, jungle cats, and rhesus macaques, and the surrounding waters are a nesting ground for olive ridley sea turtles. Birdwatchers find plenty to look for here, and the deep green of the mangroves makes the whole trip feel like a real escape into nature.
The journey is by boat, gliding through the estuary and the creeks, which is an experience in itself. Because this is a protected sanctuary, we help you plan the visit properly, with the right timing and local guidance.
Our homestay gives you a comfortable, friendly base near Namkhana and Bakkhali, with home-cooked Bengali meals and hosts who know the waterways well. After a day on the river, you come back to rest and good food.
This package suits nature lovers, birdwatchers, and travelers who want something quieter and a little offbeat. The best months are October to March, when the weather and the water are at their best.
