In October 2022, I took one day tour in Sreemangal with guide Suleman Hasif.
The tour started very early in the morning and included the following stops: Lawachara National Park... read more (plants, animals, tribal village), Madhabpur Lake (scenic spots), Noor Jahan Tea Gardens (scenic spots), Bangladesh Tea Research Institute and Baikka Beel Wetlands (sanctuary, birds, scenic spot).
Suleman is a knowledgable guide and speaks very good English. I recommend Suleman's tour for anyone who wants to see lots of interesting and scenic places around Sreemangal, and has limited amount of time (as I had).

We were a little reluctant about taking an hour long hike but our guide Razbe made the hike so interesting. He was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts about... read more the trees, the wildlife and also the inhabitants of the village nearby. He exceeded both our expectations. We are both originally from bangladesh but have been living abroad for a long time and I have to say how proud and happy we are that the tourism industry in our country is flourishing and kudos to the friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff that made the experience so much more special.

I visited Dhaka from 18 to 21 March 2019, in weather that was not too hot nor too humid. Construction of a rail public transport system, and students' protests, made... read more traffic more noisy and chaotic than usual. But Razbe, my very experienced and knowledgeable guide, and the drivers he hired, nevertheless managed to get me to visit some of the most interesting sites in the capital city (Sadarghat, Ahsan Manzil Museum, Curzon Hall, Lalbagh Fort, Shaheed Minar) and around (Folk Art & Craft Sonargaon Museum, Panam City), experiences not to be missed, but which might be overwhelming for most visitors without a guide. I highly recommend Razbe's company, Orient Tourism Channel, when planning custom made visiting tours of Bangladesh. He was always punctual, efficient (Also with emails), and receptive to suggestions. I stayed at the InterContinental Hotel (Former Sheraton), which I also highly recommend, for the very friendly and helpful staff, quiet rooms, and sumptuous Western food buffet.

One thing that I need to say first Bangladesh is a country of friendly people where travelers/tourists feel at home with people. During visiting, travelers/tourists will be greeted even unknown... read more to them. If time allows, they will welcome you to their houses as guests.

“Our trip in Bangladesh, we visited about 35 days in 2009. The small town named Sreemangal became our second residence because of the hospitality offered by people living here. A big thanks to them for such hospitality. Razbe of Orient Tourism Channel took care of us very warmly. Razbe’s tour service was more than just a regular trip. He gave us very good insight and deeper understanding of every day rural life. We felt Razbe as a very knowledgeable person and good at suiting the trip according to our interest. Hope we will come back again to make a new trip with Razbe to enjoy the beautiful country.”

“We came from Canada to visit Bangladesh. During the trip in Bangladesh, Razbe was our guide. He is very calm, patient, knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. He can speak in English well and understand our needs. He impressed us with his immense knowledge about bio diversity. He took us to Lawachara National Park, Madhabpur Lake, tea plantation and tribal communities. He is respectful to both local people and environment. He has the perfect balance of keeping locals, the travelers and environment. Reasonable price and good service I strongly recommended for the best trip in Bangladesh. Happy Eco System…. “

Amazing tour, that took us away from all tourism spots and made us do a deep dive into Bangla culture. The bikes really made the difference to explore around sreemongol. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us up to date answers by directly translating our questions to the locals who gave us very honest answers.

Highly recommend a full day tour on bicycle with Razbe. He will take you through small villages and big tea/fruit plantations on streets and paths that you couldn’t find on your own. Razbe is knowledgeable and humble and puts effort in to make sure you’re having a good time.

Rizbe is an excellent tour guide. He is very calm, patient, knowledgeable and friendly. He speaks English very well and understand everything. Rizbe impressed me with his immense knowledge of the Lawachara National Park. He knows everything there is to know about plants, trees, birds, monkeys and insects. His knowledge of the tea plantation, workers and preparation was also impressive. We also went to Monipuri and Khasia communities. Not only was he extremely respectful of the local people he was also very respectful toward the environment. It was a real pleasure having Rizbi as our guide. I strongly recommend him. He has the perfect balance of keeping the locals, the tourists and the environment. Ecosystem happy !!!!! BRUOMA from Canada. Travel date- 22 December 2012.

The country side around the town is very beautiful and the tea estates are very interesting. It is only 8 kilometers about an hour to the National Park and there is a large green sign before the bridge. It is very peaceful and quiet unlike Dhaka! If you like green nature and forest, you must visit Sreemangal. I enjoyed a lot with the help of tour guide Razbe. I visited on 21 November 2002. Enjoy !!!! Peter Dawson from UK.

I booked a photography tour for 3 days in Dhaka and Barisal. My guide Razbe from this company made my trip memorable and successful. He knows photography well so, he took me to the off roads and less visited places. I did fantastic photos. His timing to visit a place and meeting with locals in skilled ways to get better task. I ensure your tour will be memorable if you book.

2022年12月にスリモンゴルを訪れた際にガイドのRazbeさんにお世話になりました。彼はエコシステムについての知識が豊富で、Lawachara National Parkを案内いただいたときも、自分たちだけでは見つけられなかったであろう植物や動物をたくさん紹介いただきました。モ二プル族などの村にも連れていっていただきましたが、村の人々ととても良い関係を築いているようで、尊敬を持って人々に接している姿が好印象でした。Razbeさんは、知識豊富なうえ、責任感や思いやりを持った信頼できる方です。ドライバーさんも危険な運転など一切なかったです。Razbeさん、一押しです!
