Fatrar Char now is a part of Sundarban Forest. Fatra is a common type tree of mangrove forest Sundarban. Now it is re known as Tengragiri Wildlife Sanctuary. There are few boats daily leave for this forest from Kuakata Sea Beach, and it is about 4 hours tour including Fishermen village. Ticket price about Tk 250 per person per journey. Passenger capacity of boat 25 to 30 passengers. There is a nice trail in the forest. This forest has no good toilet facilities for tourist visit to Tengragiri.

Charming Kuakata is really the end of the line, 3 hours by express bus south of Barisal, and right where Bangladesh ends on the Bay of Bengal. The town has all the color of Bangladesh without the horrendous traffic and noise. It is essentially one long Main Road leading down to the beach. Along it are hotels (stay at Kuakata Guest House; see my review), restaurants, tea shops (one with 'the world's most handsome Tea Guy'---2 guys and one woman all agree on this), barber shops that give facials, and massages. The Bay of Bengal waters are not pellucid tropical, but clean. The beach is deep and wide, with wooden loungers and umbrellas (about 50 US cents an hour). There is a market right down by the beach. People are friendly and helpful. We stayed 4 days and would have stayed more. We had to get back to Dhaka to catch a plane. You can take the 9am express bus up to Barisal, and catch the 3 pm boat back to Dhaka, getting there about 9 pm. It's an easy trip.
