How can I travel by launch (ferry) in Bangladesh?
0 views
Launch services in Bangladesh operate on major rivers connecting Dhaka to Barishal, Khulna, Patuakhali, and other southern destinations. You can buy tickets at Sadarghat Launch Terminal in Dhaka or through travel agencies. Launches range from ordinary to luxury cabins with AC. The overnight journey takes 8-12 hours depending on destination and river conditions. Departures are typically in the evening. Check the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) website for schedules. Bring motion sickness medication if you are prone to seasickness.
