Where the money goes
The big number is the operator's cruise price, which bundles the boat, your guide, the national-park permits and forest fees — you don't buy those separately. Around it sit the cost of reaching Khulna and a night or two in Dhaka on either side.
| Line | Estimate (USD) |
|---|---|
| Multi-day cruise (boat, guide, permits, fees) | ≈ $180–450 |
| Dhaka ⇄ Khulna transport | ≈ $20–70 |
| Dhaka hotel — 1–2 nights | ≈ $30–140 |
| Food outside the cruise | ≈ $15–45 |
| eSIM + a few days' insurance | ≈ $12–35 |
| Estimated total, per person | ≈ $260–740 |
Indicative only. Cruise prices vary sharply by operator, boat quality, group size and season, and most cruises are priced per person on a shared boat. Always get a current quote from a reputable operator.
How many days
Plan three days minimum for the cruise itself, plus a Dhaka night on each side — so four to five days end to end from the capital. See the full Sundarbans region guide for what each day looks like.
