    Backpacking Through Old Dhaka

    July 30, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Dhaka is Bangladesh’s capital and one of the most densely populated cities in the world. From the moment I left Shahjalal International Airport, I was in shock by the sheer amount of people in the streets. Being in Dhaka felt like being in a city filled with the entire world population, I mean you could barely stretch your arms out without touching someone. In spite of that, the city had its own charm. I asked many locals their recommendation for a tourist and it was unanimous: Visit Old Dhaka. The next day, I woke up early and hopped into a rickshaw and told the driver to take me to Old Dhaka, Buriganga…

    Visiting the Rohingya Refugee Camp

    July 30, 2018 / 2 Comments

    Coming to Bangladesh, I had no intention of visiting the Rohingya Refugee Camp. I was in Cox Bazar, a beach town in the south, when a man asked me my purpose of visiting. He asked, “You come to see the Rohingya”? I knew of the refugee crisis going on, but I didn’t think much of it being in Cox Bazar. The man told me we were about an hour and a half away from the camp, and I didn’t have any plans for the following day, so I figured I would visit to document their stories. Quick History on the Rohingya The Rohingya are a majority Muslim ethnic group who…

    Two Day Srimangal Tour

    July 30, 2018 / No Comments

    Srimangal was my favorite place in Bangladesh and one that is often overlooked by the few tourists that do venture out to Bangladesh. Srimangal lies in the Sylhet Division of the country, just four hours east of Dhaka by train. Not only is Sylhet considered the most scenic region in the country, but it is also the wealthiest. In fact, most overseas Bengalis, especially those in the U.K, come from this region. I came here for one reason however, to see the famous tea gardens, which accounts for around 3% of the world’s tea production! How to Plan for Srimangal I went through Pathfriend Tour to set up my two…

    Backpacking Bangladesh: 6 Things to do

    July 30, 2018 / No Comments

    Bangladesh isn’t a country most people would associate with tourism. India, its neighbor, overshadows Bangladesh as the number 1 South Asian tourist destination. As a result, many overlook Bangladesh as a place to visit on holiday. Tourism in Bangladesh ranks towards the bottom of most nations; however, I believe it’s a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by backpackers. Not only are locals some of the friendliest people you’ll ever come across, but there are aspects of Bangladesh that make it unique in its own way. Here are 6 things to do if you find yourself backpacking Bangladesh. Note* I excluded the Sundarbans as it is probably one of the…
