Bangladesh is one of those countries that's really hard to find these days. A country with so much to offer, yet remaining untouched by tourism. From the incredibly friendly people to the rich colourful culture, the bustling streets of Dhaka to deep into the forests where the Bengal Tigers lay, and right down to the rivers like veins, the flowing lifeline of the country. It is truly a gem waiting to be discovered.

When was the last time you thought of visiting Bangladesh? Probably not recently, if ever.
But that's exactly the charm of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh has a lot on offer, which you only truly realise once you visit.
It's one of those places where there is so much more to discover, with every corner offering a new adventure. It has incredible and diverse landscapes, from busy cities to the dense jungle, a variety of wildlife, including the Royal Bengal Tiger, and both a rich history and culture shown in various preserved traditions and architecture dating back to the 4th century BC.
Not to mention the people, who are some of the friendliest you'll meet on this planet!
This tour takes in as many of the best bits as possible in the shortest amount of time. If you want to get the most out of your Bangladesh tour, this is the tour for you.
We visit all of the must-see places including a Dhaka City tour, the Floating Market, and other local bazaars, Mosques and Temples, visit schools, have lunch with local families, visit the rural countryside, explore Mahasthangar, the oldest archaeological site discovered in Bangladesh, and take a trip to Sompur Mahavihara, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Plus, you'll spend two nights exploring the Sundarbans. The world's largest mangrove forest, home to the Royal Bengal Tiger. (Don't worry, we'll have an armed guard with us in case we're lucky enough to have any furry friends show up)!
As well as some really unique activities, such as saree weaving, going otter fishing with the few families who keep up this tradition, exploring Bangladesh's bizarre "YouTube village", and heading into the rural countryside of Bangladesh.
All the while being guided by and indeed travelling along the lifelines of Bangladesh - the many rivers and canals that run through the country. No trip to Bangladesh is complete without spending a fair amount of time on the waterways!
Note: We have crafted this tour to give you the best experience in Bangladesh possible. The lack of tourism infrastructure is part of Bangladesh's charm. Some parts of this tour will be exploring very local and rural areas where you will find yourself travelling, living, and eating like a local, too. At some points, there will also be no mobile signal. Prepare yourself for travel like it used to be!
