A truly unique experience
Did the Raas Festival tour with Nijhoom (a little over two weeks). Interesting landscapes, chaotic cities, and one of the friendliest people you will find anywhere. If you are looking for something a little different from the norm I can thoroughly recommend. Read the full review “A truly unique experience”
Special thanks to the cook who prepared vegan meals for us
We completed a 4-day (3-night) tour in Sundarbans in early January, and it was really excellent. Everything from the early communication with Hasan (the owner), payment, and organization was great and without any problems. The food was excellent, and special thanks to the cook who prepared vegan meals for us throughout this trip. Read the full review “Special thanks to the cook who prepared vegan meals for us”
The visits to the Hill Tribes were exceptionally good
We saw so much and an excellent guide who went out of his way to make sure we had very good photographs! The visits to the Hill Tribes were exceptionally good and we certainly felt safe and welcome. It was worth taking the extra time to get to know the variety of the country. Read the full review “The visits to the Hill Tribes were exceptionally good”
‘A heaven for photographers’ it is indeed!
I traveled to Bangladesh in 2022 to join the ‘Raas Festival’ tour organised by Nijhoom Tours. It was a small group tour with a packed itinerary. Everything was organised very professionally, staying at various locations in clean and comfortable accommodation. Food was very carefully chosen and very tasty. Read the full review “‘A heaven for photographers’ it is indeed!”
An excellent way to get to know Bangladesh
We really got a feel for the culture of the country joining in with the everyday activities of the locals. It was well worth spending 28 days in the country to really get to know it. I would definitely recommend this trip. Read the full review “An excellent way to get to know Bangladesh”
Bangladesh is so much more diverse than I had ever imagined
This tour allowed us to see and experience it all. Hidden corners, tribes, and markets of all kinds. With Hasan & Nijhoom, really feel that I got to experience Bangladesh in-depth. Read the full review “Bangladesh is so much more diverse than I had ever imagined”
Both places are magical – Bagerhat and the Sundarbans
It was a wonderful tour and I enjoyed it very much. Both places are magical – Bagerhat and the Sundarbans. Opu is an excellent guide, very versed, knowledgeable, and well-informed, and was attentive and accommodating throughout. Read the full review “Both places are magical – Bagerhat and the Sundarbans”
Like nothing you’ve seen before
From various hidden corners of the 22-million-resident megapolis of Dhaka, to silent canoeing through passages of the world’s largest delta (the Sundarbans), to serene tea plantations, to the teeming Raas festival itself, we were surrounded by completely new sights, sounds and smells.

One of My Best Vacations
This was a great trip that provided many new and interesting experiences. Had excellent guides. Our expert drivers stayed calm and cool while driving. Hotels were nice with a helpful staff.

I was particularly impressed with the food

Photo opportunities are endless and at every corner
Friends asked me why I was going to Bangladesh. I replied that I thought 1. It would be an interesting country having read up on it 2. that few tourists visit and 3. that the people would be friendly. I was proven right on all 3. I definitely recommend this small Bangladesh tour operator. You are in safe hands. Read the full review “Photo opportunities are endless and at every corner”
A unique and rewarding country

Had a small boat without engine in order not to scare off animals
In Sundarbans we had a small boat, so when we visited the channels we had a small boat without engine in order not to scare off animals. All the other tours were on big boats and the trips were done on overcrowded engine-powered boats (I wonder if they saw any animal or bird). Read the full review “Had a small boat without engine in order not to scare off animals”
Perfect organization in a disorganized country
You are in really good hands here. I have traveled widely, in over 70 countries, and I am very impressed. If you want to travel in Bangladesh, look no further than Nijhoom. Read the full review “Perfect organization in a disorganized country”
It’s a shame that more people haven’t discovered Bangladesh
I did the 28 days discover Bangladesh tour in January 2020. I’ve visited more then 100 countries and Bangladesh has to be in the top five of countries I’ve visited. The scenery is beautiful, the people are outstanding, and the history is amazing.

We stumbled upon a tiger about to swim across the stream
We saw lots of animals quietly rowing up the creek, like deer, jungle fowl, wild boar, then we became really lucky and stumbled upon a tiger about to swim across the stream and later two jackals. Read the full review “We stumbled upon a tiger about to swim across the stream”
Bangladesh is amazing – wonderful people, great food, very safe
I took the Glories of Bangladesh tour which gives you a taste of everything from the bustling city, the architecture, historic sites, the culture, small village experiences, rural life, nature, the wilderness, bird and animal watching. Amazing! Read the full review “Bangladesh is amazing – wonderful people, great food, very safe”
Pleasantly surprised by the friendliness and curiosity of Bangladeshi people
The itinerary was well planned to include everything interesting there was to see, which in Bangladesh is the often the people going about their ordinary lives. The guide was also flexible and allowed us to make some small changes, skipping things we weren’t so interested in, and finding other things that suited us. Read the full review “Pleasantly surprised by the friendliness and curiosity of Bangladeshi people”
The people in Bangladesh were invariably cheerful and welcoming

Found the photography opportunities in Bangladesh wonderful
Bangladesh is an amazing country!!! On the one hand, Bangladesh is very safe to visit, and from the other – almost totally unspoiled with mass tourism. I learned a lot about the country and found the photography opportunities wonderful. Read the full review “Found the photography opportunities in Bangladesh wonderful”
Did not expect to see so many diverse cultures and ethnic groups
The highlight of this tour for me was the Sundarbans mangrove forest which was the most beautiful mangrove forest I’ve seen anywhere in the world. In this tour, I also saw all the Mosques, Hindu and Buddhist temples that are on the Unesco World Heritage List. Read the full review “Did not expect to see so many diverse cultures and ethnic groups”
We found Bangladesh remarkable and an example for other countries
Bangladesh is a rewarding destination. Not because it has one or a few must-see sights (like the Taj Mahal, Amritsar, Bagan) for which a single trip would be justified. It’s the sum of all the varied experiences that makes Bangladesh special. It shouldn’t be missed. Read the full review “We found Bangladesh remarkable and an example for other countries”
We were the only visitors apart from a few local people
Favourite bits? Difficult to say though the Sundarbans were particularly wonderful, so beautiful and calm. The boat was basic but very clean with good sheets and towels. The food cooked up by Ali in his galley was the best! The other crew members were very friendly and helpful. Read the full review “We were the only visitors apart from a few local people”
We were not expecting to fall in love with Bangladesh
We had 7 staff taking care of us and the boat to ourselves. The food was fantastic and the staff were as kind and helpful as all of the other people we encountered in Bangladesh. Read the full review “We were not expecting to fall in love with Bangladesh”

We had the boat in the Sundarbans to ourselves

Sundarbans was such a serene experience
Every morning and every evening you go on a small boat into the side canals in the Sundarbans to look for the wildlife. This is such a serene experience! The food on board was the best we had in Bangladesh! Big shout-out to the cook, especially when you see the tine kitchen he cooks in. Read the full review “Sundarbans was such a serene experience”
We loved every minute on the boat in Sundarbans
After communicating with a couple of tour agencies in Bangladesh I chose Nijhoom Tours for the Sundarbans tour for our family (two adults and two kids). And it turned out to be a great choice. Read the full review “We loved every minute on the boat in Sundarbans”
Bangladesh exceeded every one of my expectations and dreams
Bangladesh exceeded every one of my expectations and dreams.

Wonderful experience for anyone wanting to do something different
I did a six-day Dhaka/Sundarbans tour in January (adding another two day tours at the front and back) and was blown away in a pleasant way just by the experience of visiting the world’s fifth-most populous country. I have traveled to about 150 countries in the past 25 years, and this was a recent highlight. Read the full review “Wonderful experience for anyone wanting to do something different”
We saw a lot of wildlife on the small boat rides
We joined 3 other travellers on a 6-day tour, the highlight of which was the 3-day boat trip in the Sundarbans. The food was very good, and Ali proved to be a very knowledgeable guide. We went on several rides in a small boat up inlets where we saw a lot of wildlife. We were the only people there. Read the full review “We saw a lot of wildlife on the small boat rides”
The people in Bangladesh were exceptionally friendly
There were 5 people in the group. Travel was mostly by van, with a few train rides and internal flights to cover longer distances. In the Sundarbans, we were on a small ship with 5 cabins for 2 nights. There was excellent food on the ship. Bangladesh is well worth a visit. Read the full review “The people in Bangladesh were exceptionally friendly”
Put Bangladesh on your must see list
Our group of 5 friends explored Bangladesh with a 6-day custom tour perfectly crafted by Nijhoom Tours. Bangladesh has some of the friendliest people on the planet. We had hundreds of requests for selfies, especially with families. It’s very safe. No one got sick, not at all. It was the ideal way to see Bangladesh. Read the full review “Put Bangladesh on your must see list”
Glory of Bangladesh tour was a glorious experience
The 14-day Glory of Bangladesh was a wonderful tour. It had a varied and excellent itinerary of the big-city sights of Dhaka, the wildlife of the Sundarbans (lots of birds, boars, and deer), interesting archaeological sites and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and villages that were very interesting, very non-touristy, and welcoming.

People were very friendly, wanting to take our photos
The cruise on the Sundarbans was my favourite; could have done a day or so more. Very comfortable boat, lovely crew and plenty of delicious food. It made a lovely change for me to be in a small group of 5. Read the full review “People were very friendly, wanting to take our photos”
Road Less Traveled? Try Bangladesh
Nijhoom put us on a small boat that cruised the narrowest waterways enabling closeups of wildlife on either bank. The small dinghy pulled behind, was used to get into further out of the way places. For nature lovers, and specifically people interested in the mangrove biome, there will be satisfaction. Read the full review “Road Less Traveled? Try Bangladesh”
Glories of Glorious Bangladesh
Wow. This wonderful trip with Nijhoom tours certainly delivered beyond expectation. Five of us travelled on this two week adventure in December.

In Bangladesh, we never once felt compromised or fearful

The friendliness of the Bangladeshi people made the tour a more rewarding experience
The Glory of Bangladesh tour was excellent, providing insight into the country’s history and culture. Its core interest for me was covering the country’s three World Heritage Sites [Bagerhat, Sundarbans and Somapura Mahavihara]. The tour provided so much more. Read the full review “The friendliness of the Bangladeshi people made the tour a more rewarding experience”
Provided many opportunities to take photographs of local people

Expertly planned and exciting: flawless
I had a fantastic experience with Nijhoom Tours on a 5-night, 6-day tour of the Sundarbans. This was a superb tour and worth every penny. I know there are cheaper tours, but unless you want to be hoarded around with 30 other tourists then this is the way to do it. Read the full review “Expertly planned and exciting: flawless”
Great Sunderban tour
I booked a five-day Sunderban tour with Nijhoom Tours in March and thoroughly enjoyed it. The guide, Faisal, was very passionate about his job, helpful and reliable. The crew on the Sunderban boat were also very friendly – the food on board was excellent. Read the full review “Great Sunderban tour”

Truly the best trip we have ever done all over the world

18 Day Best of Bangladesh Tour
I was on the Nijhoom Tour in February reviewed by Susan above. I agree completely with all she has written. Somehow Bangladesh seems to have only been ‘discovered’ by a few tourists. We have been so lucky to have visited before it becomes a much deserved tourist destination. Read the full review “18 Day Best of Bangladesh Tour”
Best of Bangladesh: 18 days
Nijhoom Tours organised a very comprehensive and satisfying tour of this unusual and little visited country.

Wonderful country, wonderful people
Recent events have been unkind to Bangladesh and its people. I admit to being apprehensive myself but decided that I would still go ahead with my trip.

An amazing tour organiser
We had 7 nights in Bangladesh and it was so amazing!! Bangladesh would be one of the only countries in the world where the local people do not mind having their photos taken!
