Highlights

  • Traditional Village life 
  • River Cruise
  • Rickshaw Ride

Surely Bangladeshi cities are bustling, packed, and congested, continual horn of the car, with activity, but the soul of Bangladesh is in its villages and along its rivers. Experience warm Bangladeshi hospitality; imagine living in a traditional house at the countryside, while you enjoy a laid-back lifestyle and plenty of fresh air. Wake up to the sound of birds and cockerels and have a pleasant day with your friendly host family. Villagers harvesting crops and planting fields anew, flocks of animals gathering, and gaggles of geese scrabbling about. Kids played after school cricket, and families spent time winding up their day. Of course, they took a break to catch a glimpse of the visitors, or even to get a handshake. In brief, when you go to the Bangladesh countryside, it gives you a sense of hope.

Children in the village

During your stay at the village sometimes curious village children will be always around you for candy don't be bothered for that rather taking it as fun. They will observe you in so deeply and comparing their skin color with you.  To discover their lives and culture and mix with them closely it is better to carry some candies (as much as possible) for kids at least it will be charity work.

Basic facilities for accommodation

The village you will stay in please bear in mind that we will be unable to provide all the facilities that you get in the city hotel. It is hard to find western-style commode in the toilette in all the houses we welcome the guest for overnight but there will be a clean Indian style low commode. 

Allergies to the food

During your confirmation of the tour please inform us if you allergic to any food before moving to the village we have to advise our host family earlier. 

What to ware ?

As Bangladesh is a majority Muslim country and has a conservative attitude toward dress. In this regard, a modest dress is always welcomed. In the metropolitan cities western dress will not be any problem but in the rural area better to be a bit modestly dressed to receive respect from the locals.

To show respect to religious places, You are requested to wear modest clothes to enter the mosques included on the tour. It is not possible to visit mosques wearing shorts. Women need to cover hair and arms. Also, need to leave your shoes outside while visiting a mosque or a temple.

Taking Photos

In general, people like to be in the frame of foreigners even sometimes feel very proud to be captured and give a willing pose in front of the camera which you will not find anywhere in the world. However, it is better to take permission before taking any pictures especially of any young girls, soldiers and tribal people.
