The visits to the Hill Tribes were exceptionally good
We saw so much and an excellent guide who went out of his way to make sure we had very good photographs! The visits to the Hill Tribes were exceptionally good and we certainly felt safe and welcome. It was worth taking the extra time to get to know the variety of the country.
An excellent way to get to know Bangladesh
We really got a feel for the culture of the country joining in with the everyday activities of the locals. It was well worth spending 28 days in the country to really get to know it. I would definitely recommend this trip.
Bangladesh is so much more diverse than I had ever imagined
This tour allowed us to see and experience it all. Hidden corners, tribes, and markets of all kinds. With Hasan & Nijhoom, really feel that I got to experience Bangladesh in-depth.
It’s a shame that more people haven’t discovered Bangladesh
I did the 28 days discover Bangladesh tour in January 2020. I’ve visited more then 100 countries and Bangladesh has to be in the top five of countries I’ve visited. The scenery is beautiful, the people are outstanding, and the history is amazing.
The people in Bangladesh were invariably cheerful and welcoming
The flexibility of the tour provided many extra highlights as well as allowing time for individual exploration. I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to get an extensive insight into all that Bangladesh has to offer.
We found Bangladesh remarkable and an example for other countries
Bangladesh is a rewarding destination. Not because it has one or a few must-see sights (like the Taj Mahal, Amritsar, Bagan) for which a single trip would be justified. It’s the sum of all the varied experiences that makes Bangladesh special. It shouldn’t be missed.
Bangladesh was the most beautiful country I have ever visited
It was the most beautiful country I have ever visited! Traveling by train, plane, and automobile was the best way to discover the beautiful culture of Bangladesh. The people have been super friendly, and the food was divine.
Bangladesh exceeded every one of my expectations and dreams
Bangladesh exceeded every one of my expectations and dreams. A beautiful country of tranquil, peaceful rivers, bustling colourful cities, tribal villages, and the most incredible people – kind, helpful and happy. As a single woman, at no time did I feel intimidated, uncomfortable or afraid.
The people in Bangladesh were exceptionally friendly
There were 5 people in the group. Travel was mostly by van, with a few train rides and internal flights to cover longer distances. In the Sundarbans, we were on a small ship with 5 cabins for 2 nights. There was excellent food on the ship. Bangladesh is well worth a visit.
Truly the best trip we have ever done all over the world
My wife and I arrived in Dhaka New Years’ Eve for 30 days of touring with Nijhoom Tours. We are senior Americans with extensive travel experience. It was truly the best trip we have ever done. We felt safe at all times – in fact, no one hassled us, bumped us, insulted us or bothered us throughout the 30 days.
