Thanks for your comment Raw Hasan!

Yes, travelling with the rocket steamer really was a great experience and we hope to do it again some time. We’ll maybe visit Bangladesh again this summer, so who knows :)

Great to read your blog post! It’s always good to have some insight (costs, departure/arrival times, etc.) from locals, because this really helps a lot when travelling! So thanks a lot for sharing this with us!

Take care!
Best, Ulli & Nisa

Hi Nisa!

Excellent post with beautiful photos! An overnight journey in first class cabin at rocket could be one of the best memory of Bangladesh. Unfortunately, they do not go all the way till Khulna now a days for lack of water in the channel, so the journey has become shorter. But still it is a must for foreigners who are traveling Bangladesh – specially if (s)he has a plan to visit the wonderful Sundarbans!

Just recently the price of rocket ticket increased by 40%. I’ve written a post all about the information about rocket, with schedule and new ticket price, and how to get advance ticket for them. You can check that out here: http://nijhoom.com/paddle-steam-boat-rocket/

Best regards!

So true Hossian! Travelling by boat in Bangladesh is a true experience and definitely one of the best ways. We hope to return again in summer for some more adventures :)

Hi Eric!
Bangladesh really is stunning! It’s something else though, we have to admit. You must be a really touch cookie but I’m sure if you’re planning on travelling through Bangladesh, you know this anyway :) If you need any more info, don’t hesitate to contact us :)
All the best!
