Good to know

Local transport inside the Hill-Tracts area will be by three-wheeler CNG (tuk-tuk). All the long-distance transfers, however, will be done by air-conditioned private vehicle.

Booking this tour at least three weeks in advance is advised as we need to take permission from the concerned authority for access to the hill track region. 

A bit physical fitness required for this tour if you are really enthusiastic to cover all the activity in the itinerary, as the Chittagong Hill-Tracts area is hilly region and some walks are there in the tour. You may avoid those if you want.

A special permit is required beforehand to visit the Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar which is not possible to arrange in advance from Dhaka. It is advised that visitors need to be present in the office of the authority in Cox’s Bazar physically to get permission on the day of the visit. On the day of transfer from Bandarban to Cox’s Bazar, we go directly to the office in Cox’s Bazar and take permission. In the worse case for any unexpected reason if the authority refuses to provide the permit, you will get refund the money you paid for visiting the Rohingya camps.
