I had a great experience with Bangladesh Expeditions. O didn’t know much about Bangladesh so I kept only a day for Bangladesh. I think more travelers should visit Bangladesh and I will be back for sure. Guide Mehedi was fantastic. People were friendly and kind. Best place for photograph is the sadarghat river area and shipyard.
I visited Bangladesh and joined the Dhaka Street Photography tour with Bangladesh Expeditions. It was a really nice experience overall. Guide Shahriar was friendly and knew the city well. We walked through busy streets and local areas that I wouldn’t have found by myself. The best part for me was the shipyard across the river. It is a very unique place with lots of real-life moments to capture. Though it was hot outside, we captured a lot of photos. If you like street photography or want to see a different side of Dhaka, this tour is definitely worth it.
