For all of our clients who are a fan of everything luxury, we have put together a little itinerary which is ideal for people who want to take their travel to Bangladesh to a different level such as couples who are looking for a romantic week in a unique off the beaten path destination. 

Bangladesh doesn’t always comes up in your mind when you’re thinking about fancy holidays in luxury hotels and posh restaurant and yes, we need to admit that there is still a long way to go, but there is some improvement gradually happening and we’ve put together a nice little itinerary of a few nice destinations all over the country in which we’ll give you the chance to get to know this little gem in our comfortable tour. We have selected which we believe are the best hotels and also use our best vehicles. 

The starting point of the trip is of course the capital Dhaka, a dizzying cauldron full of energy and activity. Every day, about half a million brightly painted bicycle rickshaws move like colorful waves through an endless sea of ​​traffic. 

To the southeast, take a helicopter flight over the mighty mangroves of the delta and cruise through the beautiful mangroves and swamps of the Sundarbans in search of the Bengal tiger and other wildlife.

One of Bangladesh’s most picturesque landscapes are the tea-covered hills at Srimangal, in the sparsely populated corner of the country’s northeast. Besides tea plantations, you will also find the oldest and most accessible semi-tropical forests of Bangladesh in this area, where you can enjoy the silence of nature.

Travel via cosmopolitan Chittagong, the country’s busiest port city, to the most fascinating region of Bangladesh, both scenically and culturally: the Chittagong Hill Tracts. In this forested mountain area that stretches along the Burmese border, tribes like the Chakma and Marma still lead a life of their own, separate from the laws and regulations of the rest of the country. For a long time, this special, predominantly Buddhist area was closed to tourism, but for a few years now, visitors have been slowly admitted. Charming Rangamati is the main town of the region and is situated on a number of small islands in the picturesque Kaptai Lake. A boat trip to the tribal villages on the tropical green shores of this lake is an undisputed highlight of your visit, especially on market days.
