Bangladesh – Life happens here!

Life in all its colour, passion, adventure, bizarre happiness… We come into contact with a strange world, we let ourselves drift and feel, we become part of this world. It will cost you some strength, a little bit of courage and time, because wanting to get to know Bangladesh and its people is not easy. See it for yourself and at the end of your journey, be enriched by an important lesson – an life experience. Because we love Bangladesh and hate prejudices.

To Bangladesh?

Tourism in Bangladesh, a contrast in itself. Bangladesh is reduced generally to textile factories, poverty, environmental disasters and corruption. A significant tourism does not exist. But the country is more, much more! The mighty rivers of Asia, impenetrable jungle, tea plantations, lonely coasts, mega cities, small settlements, vibrant markets, historical legacies, rich flora and fauna, ethnic minorities – which is also Bangladesh! So why not plunge into a world of intense life, full of passion, adventure and bizarre happiness, far from the standard tourist track?

Bangladesh, mon amour!

But primarily Bangladesh is its residents. May it be because that Bangladesh presents in all its originality, they are the greatest thing it has to offer the country. People here make your trip a memorable one. They remind you of the true meaning of ”important”, ”petty” and what it takes to be ”happy”. Do you really ”take something”, you want to know ”how the country is ticking” you have to get to know people, the kindest and happiest people in the world and we make sure. Let go and see contrasts, diversity, happiness and love, lots of love. We are at your side…

Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2

The situation in Bangladesh is not as bad as one would think. Current figures and statistics can be found in the WHO's weekly assessments. EU citizens are allowed to enter, but proof of a negative COVID-19 test (English-language certificate, not older than 72 hours) is required, which must also be presented (does not apply to children under 10 years of age). This also applies to departure, the tests must be carried out by a testing facility approved in Bangladesh, which we schedule and arrange (note any airline requirements). There are no further restrictions on traveling within the country. Wearing a mask should be a matter of course.
The VOA (Visa on Arrival, airport visa) is suspended until further notice; the visa must be applied for at the embassy. We will send you an invitation or travel confirmation, but collection is currently not possible within the airport building (only passengers are allowed to enter the airport), we will be waiting for you at the exit of Terminal 2.

Website report We were in Barishal and Kuakata in the southwest and have incorporated our new experiences (positive and negative) into our respective website. As a result, two new galleries were created: on the one hand Tengragiri Wildlife Sanctuary and Shuvo Sondha Beach near Kuakata, on the other hand the Oxford Mission Epiphany Church in Barishal, which we can now finally include in our tours. Why? On the pages...

Warm, warmer, hot the winter is over is only 14 days later the proverbial snows of yesteryear. At the moment the temperatures are increasing by 1-2 degrees every day, today we were at 31 degrees. Even at night it doesn't really cool down… After a long back and forth, it should now be very likely that the educational institutions will reopen on March 30th. 14 days later we go into the month of fasting, so much for that.
Especially in Dhaka the next object of our interest connected with the question of what actually separates Shiites and Sunnis from one another: Hussaini Dalan. An imambara (what that is will also be answered there) from the second half of the Mughal rule.
Hot greetings from Dhaka and enjoy yourself!

The winter is over! And actually we would be in the best travel time if it weren't for the virus. But now people are vaccinated, vaccinated, vaccinated here too. We made use of the time and, among other things, sharpened our view of Dhaka. Those interested can see the result under the newly created gallery link Especially in Dhaka. Whether events, museums, (historical) buildings or social institutions, on this page we go into more detail on specials in Dhaka. The last two objects of our interest Ruplal House at Buriganga/Sadarghat and the Christian Cemetery are meanwhile heavily marked by the ravages of time...
The old Ganges or Buriganga as a livelihood for those who live from garbage. The special photo: Water hyacinths and garbage.

Our group tours: FACES OF A NATION (10.01.2021 – 30.01.2021) and ABOUT KINGDOMS AND SULTANATES (31.01.2021 – 13.02.2021) are canceled due to the corona (descriptions here). We hope to see you at the latest next year at the same time! Our optimistic view of the future remains. As well as a breathtaking view of a giant that you can actually enjoy from Bangladesh. His name:
Kangchenjunga Photographed from the Bangladesh border in the far northwest and can be seen under the heading “The special photo”. We used the opportunity to clear out the photo archive, even if it was difficult. But in the 10 (!) Years that we have now existed, quite a bit of image material had accumulated. Anyway, done. You can find the result in The special photo – Archive.
