Khulna, Mymensingh, Bogra, Rajshahi, Dinajpur starting from Dhaka. The
inter-city Express Service is available

River : Country-Made boats are the most widely used carrier

passengers and merchandise on a large scale. The landscape of Bangladesh
is dominated by about 250 rivers

these rivers covers most of the country.
Wherever there is a river and a village, a launch or steamer will ply for
trade. A journey by Rocket Steamer
service from Dhaka (Sadarghat) to Khulna, the gateway to Sundarbans is a
rewarding experience.

principal towns from Gabtali, Saidabad
and Mohakhali bus terminals in Dhaka. The Bangladesh Road Transport
