Bangladesh isn't just my home—it's my heartbeat. As a licensed Bangladesh private tour guide with over 12 years of experience, I've made it my life's mission to share the hidden beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture of this extraordinary land with travellers from all over the world. Travelling with me is never just about seeing the sights. It's about feeling Bangladesh—the hum of rickshaws in Old Dhaka, the salt on your skin at Cox's Bazar (the world's longest beach), the thrill of spotting a Bengal tiger in the Sundarbans mangrove forest, the aroma of fresh tea leaves in Sylhet's rolling plantations, and the soulful smiles of villagers who welcome you like family. I design tailor-made, off-the-beaten-path tours that reveal both the celebrated highlights and the hidden corners most travellers miss. Whether you're wandering through ancient Buddhist ruins, gliding down quiet rivers at sunset, or meeting tribal communities in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, I'll make sure your journey feels deeply personal and unforgettable. Why Travel with Me? ✔️ Over a decade of expertise as a professional Bangladesh tour guide ✔️ Licensed by the Ministry of Tourism, authorised for the Chittagong Hill Tracts ✔️ Permanent member of the Tour Operators Association of Bangladesh (TOAB) ✔️ Certified in First Aid, Fire & Rescue, and Guest Safety ✔️ Academic credentials in Tourism & Hospitality, Business Management, and Public Administration ✔️ Fully vaccinated, with verifiable certification My tours are built on safety, authenticity, and passion. I work with solo travellers, couples, families, photographers, wildlife lovers, cultural explorers, and even guests with children or special needs—crafting a pace and program that suits you perfectly. Bangladesh is often called Asia's last hidden gem, and it truly is. Here you'll find: 🌊 Endless beaches without the crowds 🌿 The world's largest mangrove forest, alive with wildlife 🕌 Ancient mosques and lost kingdoms 🛶 Rivers that carry the soul of the nation 🤝 Some of the warmest, most welcoming people you'll ever meet Bangladesh is a country that will surprise you, challenge you, and embrace you. And while you may only visit once, the stories and memories we create together will stay with you forever. Let me guide you beyond the ordinary, into the heart of the real Bangladesh. Together, we'll craft not just a tour, but an unforgettable journey of discovery.

    As a single parent with two kids traveling to Dhaka, I wanted to hire a guide to make sure everything went smoothly and safely. Arafat took great care of us, making sure we arrived safely to our hotel at 3am and adjusting the tour to our needs along the way. He also found fun things for us to do as a family and make sure things went safely and securely at all times. I...

    I was in Dhaka for only one day, and I wanted to see as much of the city as possible; thus, I booked this one-day tour. It was a good tour, and I was able to see most of Dhaka's major sights, including Old Dhaka. The old city is crowded, noisy, and chaotic; I could not have toured this part of the city on my own, so I was glad I had a guide to lead me through it,...

    I highly recommend this tour if you are someone like myself - a first visit to Bangladesh, need to navigate the visa and permissions processes - and have a longstanding dream to visit Louis Kahn's designed National Parliament building complex in Dhaka.

    Best tour and tour guide ever. Arafat was so helpful and educational. He even helped us get our entry into Bangladesh. He custom made our tour to fit our needs and we became more like family than tourists. It was Bangladesh Unbound! We highly recommend Arafat if you want a great learning experience from someone so knowledgeable and passionate.
