Latest-News-81 - The Lonesome Traveler

07 January 2021

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.
Stay healthy!

The (old) year is dead, long live the (new) year! A year has come to an end, which we will remember in every respect. We wish you that you can implement all your resolutions and that all your wishes and dreams come true! Maybe you are planning a trip to Bangladesh? Then we have a few new goals for you. On the one hand in the northwest:
Tetulia, remote in the northwest, is also known as the “place of dreams” and offers picturesque surroundings, settlements, bamboo groves, temples and tea plantations, a breathtaking view of a giant, the Kangchenjunga, and with Bhitargarh and the Golok Dham Temple in the vicinity (historical) spots… You can find a little insight into this here in our galleries.
Rangpur, located a little further to the east, is also worth a detour, especially since a trip from here to there along the Karatoya is highly recommended. Impressions from Rangpur. And then we have another destination in the east, in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, more precisely in the Rangamati district:
Sajek Valley, the roof of Bangladesh also known as “Queen of Rangamati”, we are in the country’s hills and the Sajek Valley offers a fantastic view of a spectacular area. Convince yourself here!

Ho, Ho, Ho, who is knocking on our door?
So there are still people who, for whatever reason, are on the go. And wherever they’re here, we'll take care of them too.
But first we wish you all a Merry Christmas! May times come again soon when travel under normal circumstances will be possible.
As already said, one or the other gets lost at our door. On this occasion and because it can’t hurt to be up to date, we have, owing to SARS-CoV-2, adapted the information/entry regulations and FAQ pages to the current regulations.
Every now and then we are asked whether a trip would be possible. Answer: private tours in Bangladesh are quite possible, even at this point in time. We can implement the local requirements, insofar as they exist (the subject is, to a certain extent, “done”) and national tourism has long been running at full speed again.

Celebrations start tomorrow! From Saturday to Monday you greet again with "Eid Mubarak", i.e. it is the time of the sacrfice festival. It is now the second oath in chorona times and slowly the realization is awakening that these times could become the new “normality“...
Visa on Arrival The Visa On Arrival or airport visa was suspended due to a pandemic until further notice.
Hotels & Resorts Tourism is now fully involved again i.e. Resorts from Kuakata to Sylhet welcome guests again!

COVID-19
Officially confirmed cases: 52,445 deaths: 709
The nationwide shutdown was abolished on May 31 after a two-month term, but under various conditions. How these are implemented or accepted in public is certainly another question. All government institutions are working again and buses, trains and ships/ferries are on their way again, although not yet in full, but the time of total standstill is over (for now). This does not apply to educational institutions, which remain closed for the time being. Separate provisions also apply to restaurants and hotels.
What do you do for five days in and around Rajshahi? A question that Eva can answer best with her travel report. Thank you very much and you can see it here.
