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.

Tohuwabohu in Dhaka There is a new regulation of the state aviation authority CAAB (Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh) from June 1st, 2021. According to this, from June 4th, the mandatory quarantine in state-certified hotels for travelers from Germany, as well as many other countries, has been lifted or converted into a 14-day residential quarantine. Details can be found in the document on the authority's server.

And it’s extended! “The existing lockdown ends on May 23rd!” With further relief it goes into the next round, so it was extended until May 30th.
Especially in Dhaka there are two large caravanserais, Bara & Chhota Katra. Perhaps it would be better to say “there were two large caravanserais” because unfortunately there is not much to see anymore. Anyone who is interested can find information here.
As always, stay healthy!

Tohuwabohu in Dhaka 14 days quarantine for Europeans (the press is currently reporting the reduction for everyone to three days), only 3 for the British, who are known not to be Europeans. Country categories A, B and C. Mandatory quarantine in state-certified hotels, of which there are as many different lists as there are days in the month. In short: there is a shambles when it comes to the regulations for entry. In the next few days we will try to bundle some information, but how reliable is it then? The best thing is to wait and drink the proverbial tea until there is a general lifting of all entry restrictions. The situation is not bad and the odds are good. The existing lockdown ends on May 23rd, whatever lockdown means in Bangladesh.
A grandiose name: Thomas George Baring, 1st Earl of Northbrook, Knight Grand Commander of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India, member of Her Majesty's Most Honorable Privy Council, the Royal Society, the House of Lords and Governor General and Viceroy from India.

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...
