A great company to get in touch with to help organize your travels and places to go is Dhaka Holidays. Even though as mentioned below, Bangladesh is not a big tourist destination (YET), they know what most people like to see and are most accommodating. To add to that, our guide and driver who are both Bangladeshi are very caring about their customers and quickly understand what you like to see or photograph and can change any itinerary based on your likes. Mr. Azim (our guide) is very knowledgeable of the history and culture of Bangladesh and has made our stay here most comfortable. Mr. Shohag our driver is not deterred by the crazy driving conditions here and can weave in and out of traffic with no problem. When you come to Bangladesh, it is imperative that you request these two gentlemen.

This is not a major tourist destination by any means at all as we saw almost no tourists the whole time we were here. The people are more friendly than any other country I have traveled to as they invite you into their homes or want to strike up a conversation with the little English they have!!! With 700 rivers flowing through the country, they have enough fertile land to support generations to come…..
