Bangladesh Unlocked: Tourism not poorism with MV Tanguar Haor
http://bangladeshunlocked.blogspot.com/2014/06/tourism-not-poorism-with-mv-tanguar-haor_6333.html
Thursday, June 12, 2014. Tourism not poorism with MV Tanguar Haor. Don’t forget to pack “luxury” alongside “eco-friendly” and “fair trade,” when you plan your cruise through Deshi waterways. Bangladesh is a gold mine when it comes to tourism. Not saying that we have the systems in place or that it is even remotely developed yet, at least not according to the West it isn’t. But what we do have, are places to admire and marvel at. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). As much history as India. Viewed across ...

Bangladesh Unlocked: HAUNTED HOUSE NEAR COX BAZAR
http://bangladeshunlocked.blogspot.com/2012/04/haunted-house-near-cox-bazar.html
Friday, April 6, 2012. HAUNTED HOUSE NEAR COX BAZAR. Stone built buildings are rare in the south eastern part of Bangladesh. It is rare enough to find any rock more durable than the very friable alluvial rock of which the local hills are comprised. There must then be some history behind this house, so literally overgrown. But local theories of a Hindu Temple seem unlikely, in view of the very evident two storey nature of the structure. What is certain is that no one offers to guide an exploration! 160; M...

Bangladesh Unlocked: TANGUAR HAOR, SUNAMGANJ, SYLHET. SUSTAINABLE TOURISM IN BANGLADESH.
http://bangladeshunlocked.blogspot.com/2011/04/tanguar-haor-sunamganj-sylhet.html
Sunday, April 10, 2011. TANGUAR HAOR, SUNAMGANJ, SYLHET. SUSTAINABLE TOURISM IN BANGLADESH. Inevitably, it could be the visitors who will destroy what they seek to enjoy. In developing and supporting the development of tourism the key word has to be sustainable, ensuring, not only access, but also the protection of environment and wildlife, as well as the livelihoods of the local people. The craft will accommodate, in international 3 star cabins with a/c and h/c bathrooms attached, up to 26 tourists, tho...

Bangladesh Unlocked: Bangladesh and Brazil Similarities Beyond the Green Flag
http://bangladeshunlocked.blogspot.com/2014/08/bangladesh-and-brazil-similarities_5.html
Tuesday, August 5, 2014. Bangladesh and Brazil Similarities Beyond the Green Flag. Diego Da Luz (Brazilian Traveler). Children are often great teachers. On the surface, our skin tone reveals the first and most noticeable similarity. The average Bangladeshi flaunts the same beautiful bronze color that is a result of the constant mixing of different European and African nations with Brazil's native inhabitants. Eating some of the best mangoes in North Bengal with fresh milk. Several times during my stay in...

Bangladesh Unlocked: Village Flute -"A Few Words"
http://bangladeshunlocked.blogspot.com/2014/08/village-flute-few-words_53.html
Tuesday, August 5, 2014. Village Flute -"A Few Words". I don't pay attention to dates. But it is eighteen years since I first came to Bangladesh as a tourist. It was January 1996. …. I would take this eighteenth anniversary occasion to express sincere thanks to our editor Mahfuz Anam and to the editor of The Star magazine Aasha Mehreen Amin – a remarkable person and the world's best boss – for their constant support and encouragement. Equally I thank The Star magazine team and our readers. I hope you can...

Bangladesh Unlocked: PALACES AND PRINCES, BANGLADESH
http://bangladeshunlocked.blogspot.com/2010/07/palaces-and-princes.html
Tuesday, July 27, 2010. PALACES AND PRINCES, BANGLADESH. Viewed across a large tank, from the steps down to the water near the homes that remain of the artists, actors and musicians who once awaited the pleasure of the Zaminder, the Dubalhati Palace at Naogoan, although ruined, reminds of the greatest stately homes of UK. Buckingham Palace, even! Where, no doubt, peacocks and deer once roamed, in front of the vast neoclassical façade, now a crude pottery kiln and a rough roadway remain. The state of ruin...

We are standing on the deck of the considerable MV Tanguar Haor, sailing the calm, grey, no-colour waters of the Shitalakshya. A day-cruise organised by the lovely people over at Tiger Tours sounded like the perfect recipe following a neurotic and hectic week. So far it has proved to be exactly that.

Monday, November 7, 2011. Muslims all over the world are celebrating Eid al-Adha this weekend, including the largely Sunni majority in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh the festival is also known as Qurbani Eid, which roughly translates to 'Festival of Sacrifice' or 'Feast of Sacrifice'. The holiday is celebrated on the tenth day of the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar and commemorates Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son to show his obedience to God.

Bangladesh Unlocked: CULTURED PEARLS IN BANGLADESH
http://bangladeshunlocked.blogspot.com/2010/07/cultured-pearls.html
Wednesday, July 7, 2010. CULTURED PEARLS IN BANGLADESH. It is around Comilla, east of Dhaka, that the indigenous industry of pearl culturing is most highly developed in Bangladesh. The giant fresh water mussels which host the culturing are harvested, for the most part, by one of the most interesting peoples of the country, the Bebe, River Gypsies. These pearls come in all shapes and sizes, and a wide range of prices that reflect size, shape and matching size rather than any intrinsic difference in quality.
