A brief summary to Jamtola Beach

Local tips
- Visit during the winter season (November to February) for the most pleasant weather, ideal for trekking and exploring.
- Hire a local guide for the trek from Kotka watchtower to the beach to ensure safety and navigation through the forest.
- Respect the environment by not littering and following conservation guidelines provided by tour guides and forest officials.
- Bring binoculars for birdwatching and a camera to capture the stunning scenery and wildlife.
- Be cautious of water conditions, as the waves can be variable, and it's risky to wade into the water due to unknown drifters.
Getting There
-
Boat/Ferry
To reach Jamtola Beach, start from Khulna or Mongla port. Arrange for a boat or ferry through a tour operator or directly at the port. The boat journey to the Kotka area, near Jamtola Beach, takes approximately 6-10 hours, depending on the boat type and weather conditions. Ensure the boat can navigate the final narrow canals to the beach vicinity. Boat hire costs vary significantly based on size, amenities, and duration, ranging from BDT 3,000 to BDT 15,000+ per day. Factor in additional costs for forest entry permits (approx. BDT 150 for domestic tourists and BDT 1,500 for foreign tourists). A guide is mandatory and costs BDT 500 per day.
-
Walking
Upon arrival at the designated docking point near Jamtola from the boat, a final walk of approximately 3 kilometers through the forest is required to reach Jamtola Beach from the Kotka watchtower. Follow the marked trail, keeping an eye out for wildlife. Hiring a local guide is highly recommended for safety and navigation. There are no additional costs for the walking portion, but a tip for the guide (BDT 200-500) is customary.
