Guiding since 2026
Hi there, I’m a friendly and passionate local tour guide based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I love meeting people from different countries and showing them the real Bangladesh beyond the usual tourist attractions. I specialise in private and personalised tours in Dhaka and across Bangladesh, with a focus on history, culture, local food, everyday life, photography, and authentic experiences. Whether you want to explore the historic streets of Old Dhaka, visit Lalbagh Fort and Ahsan Manzil, experience the busy life around Sadarghat, discover local markets and traditional food, or explore the beautiful countryside of Bangladesh, I can help you create a memorable trip based on your interests. As a local, I can take you beyond the guidebook and help you experience Bangladesh from a more personal perspective. I enjoy sharing stories about our history, traditions, people and way of life, while also giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace. I can also help you plan trips to other parts of Bangladesh, including places such as Sreemangal, Sonargaon, Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar and other destinations, depending on your travel plans. I am also available for Kolkata, India tours when my schedule allows. If you are planning a trip that combines Dhaka, Bangladesh and Kolkata, India, feel free to contact me. I’d be happy to help you plan a customised experience.
