Price: From $1,730 US per person

Discover Bangladesh’s unique beauty and rich cultural heritage by visiting its top attractions and must-see sights. Explore the world-renowned Sundarbans, home to majestic Bengal tigers and the largest mangrove forest on earth. Visit the 15th-century UNESCO World Heritage city of Bagerhat, the lively capital city of Dhaka, and the abandoned city of Panam Nagar, once home to wealthy Hindu cotton merchants. Explore the picturesque tea plantations of Sreemangal, where you can interact with tribal communities, taste 7-layer tea, and trek inside Lawachhara National Park to spot the rare Hulluck Gibbons. This tour is the perfect way to experience Bangladesh’s diverse beauty and natural life.

We offer several group tours throughout the year, which you can join to reduce your costs. Seats are limited to only 12—book in advance to secure your place. Book ahead to receive an early-bird discount and further reduce your costs. Solo travelers can share rooms with total strangers of the same sex to save costs. They can also book a Single Supplement if they need private rooms. If you have an early-morning flight, we’ll offer a discount on your accommodation for the last night. Private and group tours are also available for booking at any time outside of our scheduled tours. Contact us now for a detailed tour itinerary and secure your place!

Tour Highlights

  • Visit two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Bangladesh.
  • Wander through the scenic tea plantations of Sreemangal, home to rolling green hills and the heart of Bangladesh’s tea industry, and learn about the communities closely related to them.
  • Experience the everyday life of tribal groups in Sreemangal who live outside the tea estates, each with their own rich culture, traditions, and stories rarely seen by visitors.
  • Take a guided nature walk in Lawachara National Park, one of Bangladesh’s last remaining rainforests, and search for rare wildlife—including the endangered Western Hoolock Gibbons.
  • Spend two nights on a small but comfortable houseboat, anchoring in remote corners of the Sundarbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest, in a magical environment.
  • Glide through the peaceful, small creeks and channels in a silent rowing boat and trek deep into the Sundarban to observe birds and wildlife up close in their natural habitat.
  • Enjoy a tourist-free beach where the forest meets the Bay of Bengal, and climb observation towers deep inside the forest for breathtaking views of the mangrove canopy and winding creeks.
  • Watch the endangered Irrawaddy and Ganges River Dolphins jumping around while enjoying some delicious Bangladeshi dishes prepared by our chef, which you won’t find at hotels in Bangladesh.
  • Explore the historical mosques of the Bagerhat UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring the iconic 15th-century Sixty Dome Mosque and other notable Islamic monuments.
  • Have an adventure finding a stunning 17th-century Hindu memorial in rural Bagerhat, outside the World Heritage City, far from the usual tourist path.
  • Experience life in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, a living hell on earth, and appreciate the place you live in for the rest of your life.
  • Explore the haunting street of Panam Nagar, an early 19th-century Hindu cotton merchant town that is now completely abandoned.
  • Visit a fishing village by the Sundarbans and a rural island on the Meghna River, and learn how local communities adapt to natural disasters, river erosion, and climate change.

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. During this time, the weather is pleasant, and you can enjoy outdoor activities and sightseeing without the inconvenience of heavy rainfall or extreme heat. 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. All meals, tea, coffee, and drinking water are included for the three days in the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest. Lunch with takeaway cooked local meal or locally purchased fruits is included on the boat in Barisal.

Vegetarian and vegan meals will be available in restaurants in Bangladesh. However, options will be limited for vegan meals. You'll find more options in Western restaurants for this kind of meal.

If you are a vegan, it will be good to always carry some food with you.
