This tour is perfect for those who enjoy capturing the essence of people’s lives through photography.
On Barisal Tour, you’ll start with visiting some backstreets and bazaars full of activities in New and Old Dhaka for a whole day, and take an overnight ferry to Barisal and explore its numerous channels and rivers for the next two days on a small country boat. Depending on the season, you’ll visit different floating markets of rice, rice paddy, guava, timber, and vegetables. Also, go overland, visit various bazaars, schools, brick kilns, and villages, interact with the locals, and return to Dhaka on the third day.
Barisal is a region where people have hardly ever seen a foreigner. We’ll take you to explore some remote areas in this region beyond the reach of the guidebooks, where you’ll receive a genuine welcome from the locals and experience their authentic life – an experience you can’t have in most parts of the world. This is a highly photogenic tour for anyone keen on photographing the life of people.
