We have just returned from one of our most memorable travels ever, namely the 18 day Express Bangladesh trip with Nijhoom Tours.
The owner, Hasan, was everything you need in a good guide – attentive, patient, knowledgeable and constantly good humoured. His assistance prior to departure with all the necessary documentation was invaluable. His love and enthusiasm for his amazing country is evident in his thoughtful and detailed itinerary, covering many aspects of Bangladeshi life not always open to foreign tourists.
We covered the length and breadth of the country, from vibrant Dhaka to the peaceful Sundarbans, and everything in between. We encountered friendly curiosity at all levels, and often found ourselves photographed and asked for selfies, turning the tables on tourists!
As a 74 year old woman I never felt fearful or insecure even in the most crowded places, where faces were happy and smiling and Hasan’s constant vigilance made sure the small group stayed together.
As an added bonus on our last day we were able to experience Hasan’s Photographic Tour of Dhaka, a real treat.
Bangladesh will forever be in my head and my heart.
