In this vlog, We are going on a journey in Bangladesh's Titanic. You can see each and every launch, it's a total of 4 floors. And this is the open deck, which means it's the cheapest class. And see the sunset, the sunset is really amazing. This is its business class seating area. So, let me show you a VIP cabin of this ship. Cucumber inside pani puri. And here they have turned on this light so that the captain can see ahead. Today, our journey will be in this ship worth 65 crores. This is also c

alled the Titanic of Bangladesh. Ladies and gentlemen, greetings. Welcome to Discovering Bangladesh series episode 11. In this vlog, We are going on a journey in Bangladesh's Titanic. Yes, you heard it right, Today there is going to be a ship journey. And this ship journey is in the largest ship of Bangladesh. Today we will travel in Sundarbans 16 from Barishal to Dhaka. In Bangladesh, the ship, ferry, launch, all this runs a lot. The reason for that is when Padma Setu was not there. Then it too

k a lot of time to come from Dhaka to Barishal or Patuakhali or to go to Kuakata. Means it took about 8 to 9 hours from Dhaka to Barishal. And it took about 5 to 6 hours in the launch. So that's why people preferred launch or ferries. But today the situation has turned upside down. After the formation of Padma Setu. People are coming in buses in 4 hours. Earlier there was so much crowd in the ship, let me show you. Many times, one person used to climb on top of another. Today everything is almo

st empty. Time changes but yeah, last time when I came, A lot of people said to me. At least 300 to 400 people must have told me to do this journey. Take us from Dhaka to Barishal in the launch. So today we are going from Barishal to Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. And right now I have come to Barishal Launch Ghat. And there is a special thing about launches here. The special thing is that you can go for 200 Bangladeshi Taka. You can also go for 7,000 to 8,000 Bangladeshi Taka. Means there are

a lot of classes. And right now I have come to Barishal Launch Ghat. The time is 5 in the evening All the overnight launches are mostly run at 8 or 9 in the night. But I have come early, So that I can show you the whole ghat, the whole river in daylight. The launch ghat is also big here, There are 3-4 gates to enter. Here is everyone's schedule and the designated fare. I think I have to go from here. There are some launches standing here but I can't see my own one. It should not be Canceled. An

d here you have to pay 10 Bangladeshi Taka, basically a platform ticket. That you are entering the launch ghat. So here one after the other launches are available. This is Subaraj 9. Ahead is.. This is your Porabath 11 And this is Surovi 7, they are very big. I have not traveled in such big launches before. You can see each launch, a total of 4 floors. Basically ground floor, 1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor and 4th floor. These are called the Titanic of Bangladesh. Sometimes it happens in life t

hat you have planned something well, You are very happy. But that thing is not executed. So behind me is Sundarbans, these are the launch companies. There is an old launch from that side, Sundarbans 10. So I am not going to go in that because it is a little old. And there are 3 more launches with it, So let's see them and talk to them. I will watch some videos on YouTube and then I will board. And here coffee is going on. And the air that is coming with it, it's fun. There is another small ghat

next to this ferry ghat. And they are crossing from here and going to that side. There is Kawakhya ghat on that side, something like this. And here you can see that people are taking everything like bike. Haha You can say that all the ferries are Roro. There are total 4 ferries here. And 2 of them are the latest, the first one. And Look at this bro. Anyways, first one and this third one, This is the latest. And I have rejected both of them, I am not able to decide, which one to go in. it's cabin

is good and the decoration of that inside is good, I am not able to understand. We will leave around 8:30 or 9 pm in the night, so there is nothing to do now. I have taken Pani Puri here. What is your name? Tell me your name Kakulir mod, ok. What is famous in Barishal? means I study in which class? xD Is this tamarind water? Yes And the Pani Puri here is a little different. There is no normal water, They have added a little tamarind. And there is cucumber inside the Pani Puri. It is different.

Do you like it? Good Look at the distance, There is a diesel tanker going, diesel and petrol. There are many types of boats here, some are speed boats, some are cargo ships. And the sun is about to set, so I will show you tour of my launch. There are small boats with them that go to the nearby areas. Because Everything here is surrounded by water. Also if you don't know, Barishal is also called the Venice of Bangladesh reason is, Because everything around is surrounded by rivers. So to go to all

these small places, You have to take these ferries or boats. By the way, I selected this Shuvoraj - 9 today. I thought it is the most luxurious here, So I took this one It looks the best if you look at it, It has the best light. So as soon as you enter, you have an open deck here. Where you can travel in very less money, Even cheaper than a bus. This is just like, 200 or 300 Bangladeshi Taka. And this is the open deck which is the cheapest class. You can bring your own mattress here. You can sl

eep with your sheet etc here. There is also a TV here. And this is its booking counter, you can book all kinds of cabins here. And as soon as you enter the launch, How many life jackets are there. These are all safety things And its capacity is 985. It has a capacity of 985. Think about how big this ship is. So, first of all we are going to the first floor. Didn't you see the business class? There are a lot of VIP cabins here. They all have different names here. And it's open with the smart key

So let me show you the VIP cabin of this ship, there is a double bed. The room is completely chilled, There is a split AC here There is a TV, a remote, a fan, Look at the amazing clock. And as usual there is a TV and a place to sit. And outside is a balcony. Is this a balcony or a washroom? This is balcony. There is a private balcony and a washroom with it. Do you have a duplex cabin in the launch? Thank you, how much is the price 5,000? - 4,000 Okay, 4000 only. Initially I came for Sundarban-16

and Prince Awlad. But both those ships are not here today such a bad luck I have. They have a lift and a duplex cabin, what can I do, I have a bad luck. Ahead from here. He is expert and touring us this ship. There is a small cafe here, You can have snacks here. Chicken fry one peice is for 100, burger is for 120. French fries is 80, All these prices are okay for a launch. Because no one will give us food on the water. This is its business class seating area. You can sit here and travel, but th

e chair reclines a lot. I will write its fare on your screen. And the configuration is 4x4x4, You can travel for 7-8 hours here. If you want to travel cheaply, You can sit here comfortably. And there are good seats. How it is? Good There is a separate zone for VIP. In which there are VIP cabins and common areas, where you can sat. You can talk to them, but their price is a bit too much for now. It's 156 seats And the price is 400 Bangladeshi Taka. There are 2 washrooms and 2 washbasins here if y

ou are travelling in business class. And this kid is roaming around like a tour guide. What's the number? 341 Business So in this you will get single cabins on both sides. Which I have taken today. They have given a key saying 341 Single Cabin, 38 - 39 - 40 I guess this is my cabin. So this is how it is. The AC has also been turned on. I had kept my suitcase here before. And moreover, it's not that luxurious and new. It doesn't look like a 3 star hotel Which is available in other launches. But i

t's enough to spend a night. I can sleep comfortably, also I am alone here. The bed is quite big in terms of a single bed The room is overall small And the washroom is outside. It's a common washroom. They have given a fan and 2 AC vents. There is also a mirror in which you can see How much I am sweating. So, you have to like this video. And see the sunset. It's amazing. So this is the top floor. And this is the running room. There are also some family cabins here. And this is overall small. But

the deck is locked. So now we are on the top deck. And this is the cockpit of ship. You can call it a running room. Here are all the controls. So if anyone has a question what is this. About how the captain see in the night. So this is a floodlight. It focuses ahead on the night. So that he can see the upcoming small and big ships. So, I have come back to my cabin. Anyways, AC is on here. But look at my shirt, It's all wet. I was about to sit in the AC. But I saw that the net in my phone is ove

r. And my streaks ending with people in snapchat. So, I went out. And recharged my phone worth of 200 Bangladeshi Taka. And now I will go to the my room and will do some editing. And then we will depart. From Barishal Launch Ghat. What i just showed you this was the running room. And behind the running room there is a kitchen. So if you want to have dinner. You can have it in your room. Which we will try later. The launch market is very bad After the launch of Padma setu. The number of passenger

s has reduced. So their income has also reduced. But this is still going on. Now, the train will run over Padma setu. And then bus drivers will be in a bad situation, Because they won't get the passenger. So the second and third launch Both have left. Parabat 11 has was very good cabin in it. Which was on the 3rd number. I should have gone in that. Meanwhile, Sundarbans 10 has also left. It's 9:15 pm at night. And we have just pushed back. Although the time was 8.30 pm. But since there are no pa

ssengers. So the launches are a little late. And in a little while, you will get a tour of the running room of this ship. And also a review of the food. So all the lights here they have switched off it. Although it's on and looking amazing. And they have switched on this light So that the Captain can see ahead. As if a ship is coming or not as if this one is going. So now we are going to Kirtankhola river. And after that, We will enter the main big river. That is the Meghna river. Also after a l

ong time. I am doing an overnight launch journey. The last time I did it Was probably, 15 years ago, when I was a kid. My dad took me with my family Sunderbons. That cruise was very good it was from Vivada. And today the MV from Vivada is so expensive that I can't afford it. Anyways, we have left Barishal launch Ghat. It's 9.15 pm. I hope that by 5 am, We will reach the Dhaka Sadarghat launch terminal. That terminal is very big. Means, you won't be able to count the size of the ship. So I will s

how you that in the morning. Like I have just ordered my cabin supervisor. And I have ordered Dal, rice and mashed potato It's called Aloo Bharta in Bengali And when we will reach the Meghna river. You will see the biggest cargo ships. And time is 9.32 pm. They said they will give dinner at 10.30 - 11 pm Till then I will do my editing work. For this room I have paid 1000 Bangladeshi Taka Around 800 rupees. And the engine of this ship, Came from Korea And the body was made in Bangladesh. So the w

ork is very good I have to say. And Bangladesh is becoming more and more innovative It's becoming a developing country. They are building, a bus himself. They have made such a big launch in Bangladesh. So I really appreciate. And we are not only making for our country we are making for others also, Bus, train, coaches, engines. We are making everything. So definitely those who are watching from Bangladesh. Feel proud that such an engineering marvel, Is made in Bangladesh. I was sitting in the la

unch And everything started shaking. I don't know what is happening TV is also shaking. Let me check Oh I got it. Bro, They said it's a direct Dhaka from there. And they have come to pick up. It's 10 pm at night. We have reached Chormonai Launch Terminal. It's a small terminal We will pick up them soon and will leave. Boarding was done in 2 minutes. There was a special guest That's why we stopped here. Rest of them came to see off. As far as I could understand, I think some politician boarded th

e ship. I have no idea about it you should tell me. Because as soon as he boarded, politics started being criticized immediately. Now I am waiting for dinner. I went back to my childhood. Guys Tom and Jerry is going on. And dinner is served at 11 pm. You can also have like this but I feel like a kid. Anyways, let me show you the menu. This is rice and they have given in so much quantity. I don't know how much I can finish. This is of 40 BDT. Dal is 20 or 30 BDT. Dal is ok, they have given in les

s quantity. Here is, In the name of salad they have given salt, lemon and chili This could have been better. At least they should have added a cucumber. And here I have asked for chicken. This is around 120 Bangladeshi taka. You can see the conversion on the screen. I will start my dinner. I am starting with Dal, rice and aalu ke choke. You can understand Aalu Choka, you can also find it in Bihar and West Bengal. This is basically mashed potato with some onions, some chillies And obviously an im

portant ingredient is mustard oil. For now, the taste is okay. The taste is neither good nor bad. But compared to what I have eaten in Bangladesh, it is very bad. I was expecting something better. The gravy is very tasty. It is a homely style, a little Bengali style But if it is not hot, it is not fun. Who is fishing so late at night? The speed here is very low, 10 nautical miles. Usually I expected this to run at 20-25 knots. Means 50 kmph. But it's okay, what should i have to do in the morning

. We have entered Meghna river. But I don't see any big ship. Apart from that, it is going with us It is very late at night, I will take some rest. Because I have to make a vlog all day tomorrow. If I don't take some rest, I won't be able to make it. It will be great when will the sun rises in the morning. They have said that we will reach Dhaka at 5:30 am. I hope I will be able to show you a lovely journey in the morning. Good night. Good morning, It's 5:45 am in the morning. I have reached Sad

arghat Launch Terminal, Dhaka. Welcome to Dhaka. And i must say I had a lot of fun. Althrough if the journey was a little longer, it would have been a little more fun. I mean that's all i got. I woke up at 4-4:15 am in the morning when we were at Narayanganj. At that time I was not able to see anything. It wasn't lighted at that time. And after that we reached Dhaka. Anyways, you have watched this video for that Thank you so much. Now i have nothing to do. There is still a lot of time in my bus,

my bus is at 9:30 am. And here one after other are launches. But I would say that tremble 2-3 years back when Padma Setu was not there. So, when the launch had more craze. Which is now ending slowly in people. But I will say that there is a different fun. Means I slept very comfortably, better than the way I sleep on the train. Sometimes the bed was shaking a bit but it was fun. Now just have to go downstairs with the suitcase and. They give time till 6 o'clock to leave the room. If you want to

freshen up even after reaching Dhaka like brushing etc. You can easily leave room later. The bill for food is 290 Bangladesh Taka. And the balcony side is all non-AC cabins. So you will get a balcony view but no AC. Talking about the journey experience. If this was the same Sundarbon 16 or Prince Awladh. I would have definitely taken a good cabin. Because in those ships, there is a lift And the attenders are in better uniforms You get that feeling in that. But what to do, it's all about luck. I

f you will show the support, then I will keep coming. I will do it in next time. This bridge is a bit dangerous here. Because it was well settled in Barishal. Anyways, this was our launch. let me show you properly in the daylight. However, until the light is on, it does not feel like that. Without the light, it feels a little bit desi. Here all ships are being in a line. Along with Suboraj, Manami. And then Shuronhi. So, that's it for today vlog. if this video get good response then I will feel

great. Do some Like, Comments. See you in the next vlog. Next vlog is going to be in my favorite bus. Till then take care of yourself and your family. Remember, I am there every tuesday and friday. With you.
