FAQS on Our Bangladesh Holiday Packages
What is the best time to visit Bangladesh with a Nijhoom Holiday Package?
The best time to visit Bangladesh is during the dry season, which runs from October to March.

However, Nijhoom offers tours year-round, so you can choose a package that suits your preferences and schedule.
What are the accommodation options for solo travelers?
Solo travelers can share rooms with a same-sex stranger to reduce cost or have private rooms by booking a Single Supplement.
What kind of meals are included in the Nijhoom Bangladesh Holiday Packages?
Nijhoom Bangladesh Holiday Packages generally include complimentary breakfast from the hotels. Lunch and dinner are not included. If a hotel does not provide complimentary breakfast, we'll take you to a local restaurant for breakfast, which is included in the tours.
