Bangladesh: Private 5-Day North-East Nature & Culture Quest

Mahi exceeded expectations and took care of all the aspects of our trip to make sure that there were no kinks. He was a knowledgeable guide and was attentive to our needs

Wow. This was an amazing 5 days. My first two days were with Mahid who is an amazing guide- like spending time with a family member. We toured the major sites of Dhaka using the local forms of transportation. He was in tune with what I liked and varied the times at each site to fit what I was particularly enjoying. The outstanding part of the day was learning the recent history of Bangladesh and doing it through Mahid's eyes made this day the most meaningful one of a multiweek trip. Our second day visit to the Old capital was a range of interesting things and well put together. Mahid also made sure that the rest of my time in Bangladesh was good. My trip to Srimangal was also outstanding. The tea plantations and National Park were beautiful and fascinating. My guide, Manik, guides in the National Park so he knew all the wildlife and where best to see them. We had an amazing time. Overall, this was an outstanding 5 day experience enhanced by the guides and a well designed itinerary. And, the food was good and the accommodations better than I had expected.

If you want to experience deep immersion into the Bengal culture, then this is for you. You will experience the hustle and bustle of Old Town Dhaka making use of all types of transportation. You will also get a feel of the life in the tea capital of the country while engaging with some indigent tribes. As this is an adventure, prepare to leave your comfort zone and just let the guide take care of everything. In my case, Mahi did a good job in showing me the real Bangladesh!

This is a really excellent tour, and my guide Rahman is one of the best in any country I’ve visited. Although only a short trip, I felt as though I’d got a well-rounded experience of Dhaka, of the countryside (tea estates, tropical rainforests), public transport (tuk-tuks, buses, trains, rickshaws, boats), the culture (forts, mosques, churches and temples), the people (who are unfailingly hospitable and welcoming), and especially the food, which I might not have done if Rahman hadn’t been on hand to point out all the best street stalls to try the local, traditional snacks! There’s so much to see and do in Bangladesh; this is a great starter tour if you don’t have a lot of time, but if you want to travel for longer and more widely, then I heartily recommend Rahman and this tour company for any trip to Bangladesh.
