Jewel leads you to “once-in-a-lifetime” experiences.
Not only in Dhaka; if you want to see more of Bangladesh and its friendly habitants, ask Jewel of Royal Bengal Tours.
We will never forget our boat trip over the river in Bandarban, visiting some tribal-villages and, later on, walking on a bambu-raft which was spotted by Jewel when crossing a bridge over the river. Jewel even knows which barbershop to visit for the best shaving-experience in your entire life!
