Cool Travelling from Bangladesh


 Any holiday is the perfect time to let out the travel bug in us. While some prefer the thrill of new countries, exotic food and a different culture, there is a lot to see and experience in Bangladesh.

 For those out there who would love to travel the country but don’t know where to start, travel and tourism companies come in handy. Here’s a short list of agencies that organise packaged trips around the country and abroad from the very common Cox’s Bazaar to Sri Lankan shores.

 Out of our so busy life when we make some time out to observe the holidays by exploring different parts of the globe together we sum up our money for spending time. Add the holiday element and you have the makings of an excellent vacation. Thus, to prepare you for it, I would like to apprise you about some great offers available in Bangladesh to which has gone around and got the down-low on the best deals around town, keeping a limit of expenditure of about 650 USD in mind. But here and there, we were swayed to go beyond our budget. But what harm can that do? After all, its vacation time, isn’t it?




For those with a budget not exceeding 650 USD per person, Prime Tourism has a number of deals that are currently being offered. For 425 USD, you can avail a three nights and four days trip to Paro and Thimpu, staying in a 2-star hotel. For a bit more, you can easily get a 3-star hotel. The cost includes return air tickets, breakfast, lunch, dinner, airport-hotel-airport transfer fees and sightseeing costs from Bangladesh. Prime Tourism will also help with the visa application, if required. A trip to Kathmandu, Nepal for two nights and three days costs 325 to 365 USD depending on the selection of a 2-star hotel or a 3-star hotel. This package also includes dinner, guide service and sight-seeing along with those listed above. For those seeking more tranquility than usual, a trip to the ancient Himalayan capital of Leh is surely in order. A two person trip, inclusive of all that’s mentioned, would set you back 340 USD with the cost per person falling with the addition of more people. Finally, there is the five nights, six days package for Maldives and Sri Lanka, which costs 690 USD, inclusive of the services listed above. Prime Tourism is located at Motaleb Mansion, Room # 506, Floor # 4 , 2, R. K. Mission Road, Dhaka-1203 and they can be reached at +8801971810631.

When traveling, always remember to do your research before choosing your package of preference. Find out about the accommodations, read reviews, compare carefully and finally make up your mind. Find out all the traveling requirements and keep a checklist. Finally, ensure you have your travel agent’s number at which he can be reached during emergencies. This can be very important at times. In the end, remember to have a great trip and do enough to make great memories within the short span of time any vacation provides.
