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…

A man’s praise in his own mouth stinks! If it comes from such an appointed position as Ikarus Tours, we do not want to suffer from false modesty, but we would like to share it with everyone:
“Dear Holger, Today is my first day back from a nice holiday… On my desk are many feedbacks about our last trip to Bangladesh. Everyone is outstanding. You, your team and the whole organization were really praised. You got top marks! Thank you very much - I am really pleased to have a great and reliable partner in Bangladesh with The Lonesome Traveler. It's time for me to come too…”
Sincerely, H.L.H.
Product Manager Asia,
IKARUS TOURS GmbH, Am Kaltenborn 49-51, 61462 Königstein/Ts.

Bulbul’s consequences, strike and group travel The cyclone Bulbul is already well over three weeks ago and has not least demanded the well-organized measures in advance because of “only” 24 fatalities: The effects reach the traveler, especially in the Ganges delta. Since 27.11. 07:00 AM again released for visitors, but still remain isolated (river) sections for shipping, not least the trail around the gamekeeper station Kotka.
The bus drivers in local traffic have been on strike as well as the shipping companies of the large river crafts (ferries). Nothing was going on anymore and we were right in the middle of it. TIB - This is Bangladesh! Meanwhile, we have arrived well with our second group this season. It’s all a big adventure. Travel conditions: excellent. Godspeed!
Ear candy or wax? So we would type on the latter, but none of us has ever used such services and we would not advise the traveler unconditionally. But who wants to make ultimate experiences, please! Our photo of the week “Ear candy or Earwax?”.

It’s dry again Cyclone Bulbul is history. However, until 27 November, the Forestry Department has now closed the Sundarbans for all tourist traffic.

It’s dry again and the travel season has begun. Therefore, we ask (as every year) for leniency regarding the update of this forum. We do what we can but are mostly on the road and that’s a good thing. The first private- and group-tours are completed, but you know “after the match is before the match” and for this phrase, we now pay 5 virtual Euro… Travel conditions: very good, even if there are some showers here and there. But that was about it. Good Trip!
Travelers wanted! Our three-week group tour FACES OF A NATION Jam-packed and scrapped…, beginning February 2020 is nearing the minimum number of participants and could take place with two other participants! So, are you ready for Bangladesh? Then contact us!

Not a piggishness! In the meantime, one meets him, especially in areas with a high Hindu population… Our photo of the week “A swineherd”.
Rainy season? Calendrically it should be like that and at the bay, means in the south of the country, that should already have been seen. But most of the country is sweating and drying up. The monsoon is still in its infancy, but has a lot of potential upwards. We need water! Other travel conditions: it is hot. But that was about it. Good Trip!.

Bangladesh, mon amour!
