Tour Highlights

  • Explore the indigenous cultures of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Sreemangal, and Rajshahi by visiting the remote villages of different tribal communities, whose customs, languages, and traditions differ significantly from the Bengali mainstream, offering a rare cultural experience in Bangladesh.
  • Visit all three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Bangladesh.
  • Spend two nights on a small but comfortable houseboat, anchoring in remote corners of the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in a magical environment.
  • Explore the historical mosques of the Bagerhat UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring the iconic 15th-century Sixty Dome Mosque and other notable Islamic monuments.
  • Visit Sompur Mahabihar, an 8th-century Buddhist monastery and UNESCO World Heritage Site—one of the most important archaeological sites in South Asia.
  • Walk through colorful tribal bazaars in Bandarban and Rangamati, where indigenous people gather in traditional attire that you can't see in their villages.
  • Witness the vibrant scenes of one of Bangladesh's largest fishing ports in Chittagong, filled with colorful boats and lively trade, and enjoy riverfront life and maritime activity on a boat ride along the Karnaphuli River.
  • Enjoy a scenic boat ride on Lake Kaptai and walk along the banks of the River Sangu, surrounded by rolling hills, forested shores, and glimpses of daily life on the water.
  • Glide through the peaceful, small creeks and channels in a silent rowing boat and trek deep into the Sundarban to observe birds and wildlife up close in their natural habitat.
  • Watch the endangered Irrawaddy and Ganges River Dolphins jumping around while enjoying some delicious Bangladeshi dishes prepared by our chef on the boat in Sundarbans, which you won't find at hotels in Bangladesh.
  • Explore the stunning temples, palaces, and mosques of Rajshahi, which showcase a rich architectural heritage spanning from the medieval era to the British colonial period.
  • Wander through the scenic tea plantations of Sreemangal, home to rolling green hills and the heart of Bangladesh's tea industry, and learn about the communities closely related to them.
  • Take a guided nature walk in Lawachara National Park, one of Bangladesh's last remaining rainforests, and search for rare wildlife, including the endangered Western Hoolock Gibbons.
  • Explore the haunting street of Panam Nagar, an early 19th-century Hindu cotton merchant town that is now completely abandoned.
  • Experience life in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, a living hell on earth, and appreciate the place you live in for the rest of your life.

Did not expect to see so many diverse cultures

The highlight of this tour for me was the Sundarbans mangrove forest which was the most beautiful mangrove forest I've seen anywhere in the world. In this tour, I also saw all the Mosques, Hindu and Buddhist temples that are on the Unesco World Heritage List.

At no point on this trip did I feel threatened

Our itinerary took us to the 4 corners of the country and provided us with a comprehensive introduction to the history, geography cultures and wildlife found there.

18 Day Best of Bangladesh Tour

I was on the Nijhoom Tour in February reviewed by Susan above. I agree completely with all she has written. Somehow Bangladesh seems to have only been 'discovered' by a few tourists. We have been so lucky to have visited before it becomes a much deserved tourist destination.

Go soon before the crowds rush in

Nijhoom Tours organised a very comprehensive and satisfying tour of this unusual and little visited country. They managed to take us, 4 ladies of certain ages with baggage, around a country in it's infancy of tourism. They certainly showed us "The Best of Bangladesh " in 18 days on the Original tour.

Beautiful diverse country with so much to offer

It was a perfectly arranged tour and our only expenses were most meals (which came to less than 5 euros per person per meal with soft drinks). Bangladesh is a beautiful diverse country with so much to offer. As the posters say: Come before the tourists visit!!!
