U r brand ambassador of Bangladesh for tourism. Really enjoy ur vlog
Thank you 😊
Probably you’re the first western Vlogger who presented beauty of raw Bangladesh in details and with so much passion. And kudos to you for showing us informative and entertaining videos continuously. Thanks and best wishes 😊❤
Thanks so so much! That’s lovely to hear 😍
No one could show Bangladesh as beautiful as you. Great job, and welcome to Bangladesh. Hope you come again and again.
Thank you! I hope to return 😍
Sundarban, Just Awesome 👌 😊❤❤❤ , 🇧🇩 🇧🇩 🇧🇩 BD
😍
Thanks a lot for showing our beautiful sundarbans ❤❤ 🇧🇩🇧🇩

Sound of the forest is so soothing and calming in afternoon and evening. My grandfather had 10 acres of land with ponds, canals and large dense tropical trees. Place was naturally set up with larger trees, below medium size trees and under neath bushes. Small walkways were mostly sandy silts with no grasses.
Oh wow what an incredible place to own! 😍

I wouldn't dare to walk ahead of everyone in Sundarban! Great video! thanks for sharing
😁.. I had to trust they knew what they were doing (and of course they did!)
Thanks for visit my beautiful Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️😍
Bangladesh truely is a hidden secret.
By the way whoever is adsiving you is doing a great job. That was a perfect size vehicle to enter the forest. Nice capture
I have a brilliant team in Bengal logistics
Hi Carrie Did u know ? Sunderbans is the largest mangrove forest 🌳 in the world 🌍 & 65% of its forest 🌳 in Bangladesh 🇧🇩 & rest 35% it’s forest 🌳 is in West Bengal in India 🇮🇳 together total area is 10,000 sq km
Yes it’s amazing! Huge space 😍
@@carriepatsalis anyone easily can get lost in its remote wilderness without guide. ❤️
i wish the government could make the sundarbans more tourist friendly and make it possible for them to enjoy the wild life
I think it’s good as it is.. you don’t want too many tourists there or to change it much otherwise the wildlife will lose
Been there 3X ...,,in 2000 saw a Tiger
You are so lucky! That must have been wonderful 😍
I'm from Bangladesh...... 🇧🇩👍
7:51 : Really waiting to watch your Bangladesh series remaining attractions & its here, gratitude! Really enjoyed the whole series of my motherland thoroughly, the extent of which was never covered by any travel vlogger of home & abroad anytime before! To me a precious series studded with authentic & top notch commentries 🙏 Keep 'em coming Madam ❤️
P.S. Looking superrr cool & gorgeous with that greyish Nike T Shirt, Sunglass & the minimalist yet elegant makeover & aura of Carrie's generosity 🌿
Thanks so much! Really glad you’re enjoying it! Another sundarbans to come next week 🥰

Welcome to Bangladesh ❤️🖤🇧🇩 God bless you
I am form Bangladesh thanks for visit our country.

So lovely 🥰
You were on a majestic cruise, I see. You were the only traveller on board. Whether you have noticed or not people working there can walk mile after mile without making a single word. They can talk with only gestures..
It was an incredible experience! And yes talking with gestures is a special thing 🥰
Thanks for showcasing our courtry . I tent to watch your blog . Love you from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 i hope you enjoy utterly!!
Thanks a million! Loving it 😍
Amazing for your visit to Sundarban. Love this nature in true pristine sense.
The beauty of Sundarbans starts where your imagination end.Keep exploring the beauty of Sundarbans. ❤❤❤
Thank you for visiting Sundarban.
I went there 20 years ago. Still I remember that sounds of silence.
It’s lovely to hear pure nature isn’t it 😍
Thank you Carrie for exploring all the corners of our beautiful country!
It’s been a real treat for me 🥰
Glad to see you in the midst of the largest mangrove of our planet and enjoying it. Love your videos about my beautiful country. Stay safe.
Thank you 😊
Patal guard is the most delicius vegetable for Bengali and comparatively expensive veg . it can be stir fried, can be Vorta(smashed) or made a curry dish with favorite fish like Hilsa or Koi(Crawling Perch). Large natural crawling perch is the most expensive Fresh water fishes in Bangladesh.
Patal (English: pointed gourd, from parwal/parval Hindi) is a type of vegetable. The scientific name of this plant is Trichosanthes dioica. It grows well in the eastern part of India especially in Odisha, West Bengal, Assam, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Bangladesh. It is rich in carbohydrates, vitamins A and C.
Thanks for the Info.. I really liked the taste.. feels very healthy too 😍
Good adventure carrier! A Brave Lady you are.
Thanks! My advice to myself is simple.. don’t overthink and you’ll never be scared 😁
Thank you sundarbon tour from you❤❤❤❤
Hi, Carrie. :) It's refreshing to see your awesome documentary-like vlogs coming to continually impress us. 🇧🇩 Another great vlog & nice drone shot! I wish drones were allowed. Thanks for featuring the Sundarbans. Hope, we can see you in Bangladesh again in one of the cooler months as you promised. :)
Thank you! I can understand why drones are not allowed there because they would likely disturb the wildlife.. so that insta 360 cam on a 3 metre stick worked well I think
@@carriepatsalis Wow! You created a drone-like effect literally with that 360 cam. Great one. & Yes, exactly. I do agree and hold the same opinion. Have a wonderful time. :)
@@arifyttech yes I always try and move it in a drone like way.. my cheats version!
@@carriepatsalis That's really amazing. Hahaha... 😃 One more thing a lot of vloggers can take note and learn from you along with your magnetic narration and storytelling quality. Documentary-like vlogs will remain the best attribute, I feel. :)
Madam, I am a Bangladeshi living in Dubai, I watch all your videos, I like watching videos from my country
Thank you for watching 😍
Many CZcamsrs are coming to Bangladesh and I have been watching their videos The way you make videos about the little things We really like it
And welcome to my home town sirajgonj🙂 love from sirajgonj Bangladesh 🇧🇩😊
Thank you! My enjoyment always lies in getting to know local people as much as possible 😍
Love from Bangladesh 0:53
As a Bangladeshi i fell very happy and glory when i see a foreigner coming in our country. Thanks a lot for exploring our beautiful country. I wish you will be one of the greatest blogger in future.Thank you, come again in Bangladesh ❤
Many thanks to you 😍
I’m from brighton, UK and watching your videos middle of the night.
Also It’s lovely to see you in my home country ❤
Cheers 😊
Thank you! Love Brighton too! 😍
One of the greatest identity of Bangladesh. Our majestic tiger is there to welcome you 😊
Hope you enjoyed the unique beauty of the largest mangrove forest in the world ❤
Lots of love Carrie ❤️
Absolutely loved it 😍
Ant, because, the box you are carrying is called Shon-Papri, it is so light in weight, I am a Bangladeshi, and in my childhood I see Ant is carrying this Shon-Papri with a nice line. Many times Ant holding a large size to his top like the photo printed in the box you got for complementary. Thank you for making such a wonderfull video.
Thanks for explaining 🥰
Wait is over. Your next video is here Carrie.
This is so cool. Loving the Sundarban exploration through your videos. You went to the deep end of the Sundarbans. Been to one of the nearest forest point, few miles from Mongla port back in 1997.
Bangladesh looks so beautiful thanks to your videos. We only read about these places ie Paharpur, 60 dome mosque, Sundarban in our primary school geography text books.
The food looks exquisite.
I am happy you enjoyed it.. in my next video I will show a forest walk close to mongla.. might be the one you did!
Sundarbans is our natural bright forest. Sundarbans is big swamp forest. Thanks for showing our natural bright forest. I think always you make good video, so this video is good without any question.
Love from Bangladesh ❤❤
Thank you! I really enjoyed this adventure 🥰
Hi
Thank you Very much for visiting Bangladesh
❤❤❤❤
The guy who knew about the royal bengal tigers the most is a guy named Pochabdi Gazi, I read a story about him and he was also once brought in Bangladesh national tv, he could make exact tiger sounds and bring tigers out from dense forest.
Wow he sounds amazing!
@@carriepatsalis It was a beautiful video Carrie, thank you for showing Bangladesh in a positive light.👍
Thanks a lot, mam. For representing us to the world 💐
It's proudly because your visiting our country. Welcome and best of luck . Pls come to our Rajshahi devision.
Thank you..
I absolutely adored the Rajshahi division.. a beautiful area of the country 😍
You are brilliantly brave. I was so scared and praying so that you come back safely from the forest.
Thank you 😊
Last 5 years, I am trying to go solo trip there once a year .... It's so peaceful and so relaxing 😌 from the boat. You are doing wonderful work 👍
Thank you! Solo trips are wonderful.. real time out 😍
Sundarbans is the largest mangrove forest in the world. It is located on the border of Bangladesh and West Bengal of India. Welcome from the people of Bangladesh. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much 😍
I see these dishes are far better than any restaurant in Dhaka. all made with fresh stuffs and I see the guys follow hygiene carefully, although the boat is not sophisticated or new,
Everything about the food was amazing.. such a good chef and team.. absolutely loved this part of my trip
Agree. Looks well made, good hygiene awareness, nice fresh stuffs. Better than most restaurants in old dhaka in towns everywhere in Bangladesh
Oh that line - ladies first 😂 even while confronting a tiger!!
So funny 😆
What a great presentation!!
Thanks for visiting our home. Our Pride Sundarban.
Thank you! Loved sundarbans 😍
Yet again, you never fail to impress..loved the humour and just wow, during sun set how everything, the scene, sound , atmosphere ended the day, that scene was enough to realise why we have great poets like rabindranath tagore.
I've seen many sundarban youtubes but hats down Carrie, your on a another level ...thank you carrie😊
That’s one of the first comments I have read today.. how lovely to wake up to! Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it 😍
Thank you for visiting Sundarban. I have been waiting for this visit of yours . I am glad this gave you a reset during rest of the Tour in Bangladesh. ❤❤
Thank you! It really was perfectly placed in my trip to help me catch my breath a bit.. loved it
Beautiful video, beautiful Shundorbon..... Carrie you are a brave and beautiful lady....
Thank you 😊
Thanks for visit our Majestic Sundarban❣️❣️🐅🐅❣️❣️
Pleasure 🥰
One of the Best episode 😮
Thank you 😊
By the end of the day the sounds of the deep mangrove forest sounded quite scary! This means that no matter how safe the area may seem, the fear of man-eating tigers makes the situation quite suffocating at times! Which is very felt in this video!
Wait until the next episode where I interview my guard and fishermen..!
Sunderbans is huge space of greenery forest 🌳 without any human habitation & I’d definitely feel afraid 😟 if I was alone but in groups with armed guard I’d feel much safer. You never know when you’ll be pounced by man-eating predators, so it’s much better to be alert 🚨 all the time.
Fantastic video! What an adventure. ❤
A brilliant adventure 😍
Carrie, I am humbled by your amazing personality and wonderful representation of Bangladesh. I love your down to earth nature and these beautiful videos you make; very addictive. Thank you!!
Thanks for being an ongoing supporter.. it’s lovely for me to know you’re enjoying my vlogs 🥰
@@carriepatsalis Always! :) If we’re ever in Bangladesh at the same time, would love to meet up with you. Have a lovely day!
Thanks a lot for coming Bangladesh

Speechless carrie ! What a gracefull lady you are!! It seems i m watching a documentary video of sundarban's on national geographic channel. You deserve a lot of thanks ❤
Thank you! It was such a fun adventure 😍
ahh... i really enjoyed it with u.. there is so much natural views ..last part was so relaxing ... love it
Thanks for watching 😍
Excellent work here Carrie! Liked this episode. I hope this is not the one and only episode on Sundarban. Looking forward to watching upcoming episodes 😊
One more to go 😍
Wait What, you didn't find a single tiger! I never watched the nature of here! through you, I feel the taste to enjoy it!
My guard has worked there 24 years and only seen them 5 times.. so much more chance you won’t see them.. but we did see paw prints and scratches on bark.. will show in next video
Thank you so much carrie ❤🇧🇩
i like that how you enjoy everything we've to offer unlike other tourists. enjoy your stay..
Thanks so much!
This shows a foreign girl can come & travel a country like Bangladesh all alone without any tension. Bangladesh peoples are mostly generous,kind.
It is a really heartwarming tour, SOUNDS OF THE FOREST, SOUNDS OF THE NATURE. Thanks for sharing❤
Pleasure 😍
That's a wonderful video. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Reminded me of my visit over a decade ago. I also had one of the best foods of my life on the boat.
-Mo
Thank you! I couldn’t get over how good the food was.. loved it 😍
Love you Bangladesh 🇧🇩
(And the tigers ) crazy sound . I just love it 😻😍
😁
Congratulations! ❤
Hope you enjoyed the beauty of the largest mangrove forest in the world.
It was so lovely 😊
May Allah guide you and protect you in your journey. As a Bangladeshi, I highly recommend inexperienced travelers not to roam around our country alone. It's not always safe.
Try to be cautious about where you go and whom you talk to. And avoid certain places that are not recommended by locals.
Welcome.to.Sundarban ❤🇧🇩🇧🇩
Thank you 😊
so many childhood memories of Kotka. in late 80's when my father was a forest officer there, he constructed a small round water tank looks like a well for these wild deers just in front of the Kotka forest department's Rest house. we used to watch the deer from the balcony. he also made a huge a Sundarban's Map in the outer part of the rest house and named it 'Ek Nojore Sundarban" (Sundarbans at a Glance). in 2018 when we revisited there then found the remains of the water well in the beach where due to climate change and erosion, the Beach shallowed all the trees and come nearer to the rest house and now the rest house itself might gone. there was no sign of the map. my father also built a wooden Tower in kotka 'Tiger point' to watch the tiger safely and that was the first tower built inside sunderbans but in 2018 i was only able to found one of the ruined footing of that tower, which originally he named as "Tonmoy"/''mesmerising''. later, Another tower was built there but it become unusable too. I miss my father a lot. His last words in ICU was 'I am in heaven'. Thanks a lot Carrie...
What a lovely memory and what lovely last words to say.. it must have been a wonderful place to work.. thanks for sharing 🥰
That cucumber looking vegetable is called “pointed gourd” 😊
Sundarban is really amazing natural beauty
So wonderful 😍
Very nice
Really enjoyed watching your video
I hope one day i can visit the Sundarbans
Thankyou for making this video
I hope you get to go.. it’s a lovely adventure
Love and Respect Ma’am❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Sundarban is a very beautiful place😮
Stunning 😍
Been there to observe total solar eclipse long back. It was so magical.
Loved the ending peaceful and tranquil... Press the reset button
Amazing
Oh wow that must have been amazing! Yes this was the best place for a halfway point as it gave me chance to catch my breath.. and that 7 hour boat ride meant that for a good while I actually didn’t have to film everything.. I could kick back and relax a bit
You are such a sweet and brave lady….thank you for this video…..❤️🤲🏻🙏🏼👍
Thanks 😊
