Exploring Bangladesh Tour 22 Days

“After 22 days touring Bangladesh with Mesbab, Liton, Arafat, Mr. Lemon, and Ali and his boat crew, we feel that we have seen the real Bangladesh. The organization of the tour from the first contact to the conclusion was first-rate, professional seamless, and hassle-free. We were looked after so well by Hasan and his team. Liton was a great driver (he made me say that) no not really it’s hard to relax on Bangladesh’s roads but we managed it with Liton.

Our guide Masbab had a great sense of humor and we really enjoyed his company. Arafat also and he even managed to show us a rare Hulluk Gibbon at Lawachhara National Park. The boat trip on the Sundarbans we especially enjoyed the birds, animals, and daily life and the food was great! Each part of the country has something different to offer and it was this diversity that really made the holiday for us.

Thank you to all the staff at Nijhoom for making our stay so memorable. Anyone wishing to explore Bangladesh can do no better than Nijhoom Tours.”

Another amazing trip with Nijoom Tours

“Our second visit to Bangladesh both three weeks in duration superbly organized by Hasan for the four of us – what a great welcome back!
He may Be the boss but he thinks of everything and has an endearing charm and a fabulous sense of humor and like all Bangladeshis, he is open kind-hearted and generous.
He won’t short change you! His reputation is important to him.
He is so knowledgeable and employs guides who share his passion, knowledge, and enthusiasm.
He can think on his feet, change plans, and accommodate you every need and wish.

We have seen and done so much!
Re visits to Sundarbans and Cox’s Bazar and the Rocket steamer – this old boat is amazing!
The hill tracts – Rangpur – Dinajpur – Khulna – Bogra – wow!

We sadly are leaving today. And sad it was to leave such a good friend – we feel part of his family and yes we hope to able to come back AGAIN!”

Bangladesh December 2013

“After spending 22 days in Bangladesh in December with everything organized by Nijhoom Tours you will not get a better company to sort out all your tour requirements for Bangladesh.

Now while we were in Bangladesh there were some political problems from the opposition party before the up-and-coming election but don’t let this put you off as we had no problems getting around and completing our holiday. You should be flexible though and you will find everyone very friendly and helpful. The roadblocks that were in place over the Christmas period have now finished and traveling around is back to normal, although driving around Dhaka can’t be classed as normal at any time!!

Hasan sorted everything and was flexible himself to our changes on route! When we arrived at the ferry and it was not working, Hasan soon had a speed boat set up and we continued our journey with hardly any delay, and at no extra cost!

Hasan can sort out all of your problems for you, and right from the early stages of planning the trip he was there answering emails, but remember if he doesn’t come back to straight away, he could be on another trip to the Sunderbans without a phone signal!!

Can’t wait to go back to Bangladesh again soon, great place great food great people.”

Fabulous trip

“21 days in total-for our group of just 4 – what an amazing and enjoyable experience! We loved Srimongal – Barisal was an unexpected delight – as was Cox’s Bazar – and the Sundarbans were gorgeous!

The Rocket steamer is a must-out of Dhaka.
We thought the food was excellent – and no one was ill.

Hasan is always on hand and is a great guy – helpful and thoughtful – a wealth of information to – and generally, he has thought of everything.
There is so much to see and do – we simply have to return again – soon!”

    I agree about the welcome from the locals with their invites into their homes. We travelled there Christmas/New year 2015 with a different Bangladeshi company visiting virtually the same places as you except travelling north to Rangpur & Dinajpur instead of Chittagong division. Our favorite places was Jaflong & the otter fishers in the Sundabans. It was made better by the fact that its not that popular a place for tourists being similar to India in the 1970’s.

    I visited Bangladesh in October 2014. I asked Hassan from Nijhoom Tours to help me organize a 16 day trip through the country. It was perfect.

    I loved the itinerary from seeing the sights of Dhaka, taking the ‘Rocket’ down the Brahmaputra to visit the delta and Barisal and the many villages on the islands among the canals. All the time my guide was with me.

    After returning to Dhaka I went on to visit Srimangal and the tea plantations, villages and National Park with my guide, Liton and met his lovely family. Stayed at a fabulous guest house.

    Onto Sonargon with more wonderful monuments and buildings. More interesting people and all the time helped by my guide Mushfiq.

    Hasan had organized everything so perfectly! Great itinerary, great guides, and such a interesting and beautiful country to visit!
