Tour Highlights

  • Visit two 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, in a magical environment.
  • Glide through the peaceful, small creeks and channels of Sundarban in a silent rowing boat to observe birds and wildlife up close in their natural habitat.
  • Trek deep inside Sundarban on a flat and dry trail with an armed forest ranger searching for birds and wildlife.
  • Enjoy a tourist-free beach deep inside the Sundarbans, where the forest meets the Bay of Bengal in complete tranquility.
  • Climb observation towers deep inside the forest for breathtaking views of the vast mangrove canopy and its network of creeks and rivers.
  • Stop for lunch at a dolphin sanctuary and see the endangered Irrawaddy and Ganges River Dolphins jumping around your boat.
  • Enjoy some delicious, authentic Bangladeshi dishes prepared by our chef on the boat, which you won't find at your 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.

The tour was organized exactly as described

I booked a five-day Sunderban tour with Nijhoom Tours in March and thoroughly enjoyed it. The guide, Faisal, was very passionate about his job, helpful and reliable. The crew on the Sunderban boat were also very friendly - the food on board was excellent.

Thoroughly enjoyed every part of it

My friend and I took a tour with Nijhoom and thoroughly enjoyed every part of it. We toured Dhaka, took an overnight ride on The Rocket, had three days in the Sundarbans and a long train ride back to Dhaka. Obviously, one shouldn't expect luxury conditions in Bangladesh, but you can expect great service and organization from this company.

Beautiful natural, wonderful riverine life experience

My friend and I (two females) took 1-day Old Capital Tour and 6-days Rocket & Sundarbans Tour with Nijhoom Tours. We both feel safe and enjoyed the trip throughout. If you are struggling to go or not to go Bangladesh, please take some time to look at photos taken during my trip.

We had a fabulous time with the wonderful crew

My brother and I have just returned from an eight day trip to Bangladesh with Nijhoom Tours and it was fantastic. We felt super safe the whole trip and everyone was so friendly, asking where we were from and talking about cricket. I can fully recommend Nijhoom Tours and Bangladesh as a wonderful destination.

The whole experience was so unique, and exciting

I recently returned from a wonderful 6 day tour to Bangladesh with Nijhoom Tours. My tour, "Sunarbans Excursion with Rocket", far exceeded my expectations. The whole experience was so unique, varied and exciting! I thoroughly recommend a trip to Bangladesh with Nijhoom Tours.
