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…

COVID-19
Officially confirmed cases: 56 deaths: 6.
The decommissioning of public life was extended until April 11. All educational institutions closed by the end of May, all exams canceled for the time being. Army and police checkpoints ensure compliance with the quarantine. In general, all measures are surprisingly disciplined, not least because of the presence of the military.
Dhaka is shrinking! Since the beginning of decommissioning, an estimated 10 million people have left Dhaka (for now), which would be about half. For some, the peace is heavenly, for others, the beggars, day laborers, small business owners, etc. it’s more threatening.
What’s coming in 2021? We are currently working on our group tours for 2021/22. All tours will be updated, but will go online in April, just wait :)

12 March 2020

Towards the end of the season Travel conditions: excellent. Weather: It‘s summer again. Spring is not - at least it would feel like it would be a shame because who doesn‘t like them, the flower-girls at the beginning of spring (Falgun). We go on vacation at the end of our travel season from April to mid-June, but are of course still available. In April there will also be the dates for our group trips for 2021/22. Otherwise:
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman‘s birthday is celebrated on March 17th. Since the 100th is the whole highly official holiday, with corresponding restrictions in public life can be expected, especially since India‘s Prime Modi has announced himself.
Another holiday on March 26, Independence Day on Thursday i.e. long weekend and hotels/resorts in tourist destinations should be so booked out… However, good trip!
When the chicks are fledged… we are extremely proud. In this case our newcomer Jewel gives us great pleasure. Things are going very well in college and, incidentally, he seems to enjoy guiding guests as much as we do. This is also confirmed by the Ministry of Tourism!
