About the Tour

The tour can either start in Dhaka, or the land border crossing from India at Tamabil. We will collect you from your point of arrival and spend the first 4 days exploring Bangladesh's undiscovered Northeast, sleeping in the towns of Sylhet and Sreemangal. Highlights of the tour include sailing down the crystal clear waters of the Kirtankhola River, trekking through active tea plantations and spending time with the tea-pickers, and visiting the village of the Garo tribe and experiencing their lifestyle. We will also venture to the remote villages of the Khasi tribe, visiting their houses and learning how they cultivate the Betel Nut, as well as spending time with the Manipuri tribe who are famous for making handicrafts. This tour also features a trek in the National Park in search of the critically endangered Hoolock Gibbon and other wildlife. The tour rounds off by taking the train to Dhaka, were we will stay overnight before a full day behind the scenes city tour. Night 5 sees us sleeping once more in Dhaka, where the next day we will either take you to the airport or assist with forward travel plans.
