Tour Highlights

  • Visit two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Bangladesh.
  • 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.
  • Experience the everyday life of tribal groups in Sreemangal who live outside the tea estates, each with their own rich culture, traditions, and stories rarely seen by visitors.
  • 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.
  • Spend two nights on a small but comfortable houseboat, anchoring in remote corners of the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest, in a magical environment.
  • 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.
  • Enjoy a tourist-free beach where the forest meets the Bay of Bengal, and climb observation towers deep inside the forest for breathtaking views of the mangrove canopy and winding creeks.
  • 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 historical mosques of the Bagerhat UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring the iconic 15th-century Sixty Dome Mosque and other notable Islamic monuments.
  • Have an adventure finding a stunning 17th-century Hindu memorial in rural Bagerhat, outside the World Heritage City, far from the usual tourist path.
  • 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.
  • Explore the haunting street of Panam Nagar, an early 19th-century Hindu cotton merchant town that is now completely abandoned.
  • Visit a fishing village by the Sundarbans and a rural island on the Meghna River, and learn how local communities adapt to natural disasters, river erosion, and climate change.

We became really lucky and stumbled upon a tiger

We saw lots of animals quietly rowing up the creek, like deer, jungle fowl, wild boar, then we became really lucky and stumbled upon a tiger about to swim across the stream and later two jackals.

Pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the people

The itinerary was well planned to include everything interesting there was to see, which in Bangladesh is the often the people going about their ordinary lives. The guide was also flexible and allowed us to make some small changes, skipping things we weren't so interested in, and finding other things that suited us.

The People of Bangladesh were the highlight

I took my Daughter (10) and Son (8) with me on this tour and we had a great time. Our guide (Faisal) was exceptional, great with the kids and always looking to make sure we got the most out of our experience in Bangladesh.

The crew prepared many veggie-based meals for me

I wanted to visit Bangladesh, but I didn’t feel comfortable traveling alone as a single woman who doesn’t speak the local language. I booked the Highlights of Bangladesh small group tour. We were very well cared for and I never had any concerns about my health or safety.

Well organized, no time wasted

I had an 11 days group tour with Nijhoom Tours. It was well organized, no time wasted, and great tour guides. I got to see a lot of what Bangladesh has to offer, from interesting buildings in Dhaka, river boat trips, train trips, tee plantations, and my absolute favorite, a 3 day trip in the Sundarbans!
