Introducing Khulna Division
If your idea of adventure is one of unexplored jungle swamps teeming with wildlife as deadly as it is beautiful, then you’ll love Khulna division. Comprising in large parts of nothing but marshlands, waterlogged jungles and rivers, this archetypical explorer country is not easy to navigate, but it promises unlikely stories you’ll be recounting for years to come. Imagine telling your friends of how you travelled by paddle-wheel steamer to secret villages where men fish with tame otters, and where steel masks are worn to provide protection from tiger attacks. Imagine their faces when you talk of crocodiles being hand-fed chickens in the grounds of a moody mosque, or of helping to steal honey from the hives of giant killer bees. Think of their surprise when you tell them you spoke with a guru who could cure illnesses through nothing but faith and a magic touch, and of a saint who sang his way to the throne of God.
Magical Khulna division is unquestionably the highlight of Bangladesh, so get out and explore!
