Overview

What sets our experience apart is the heart behind it. I’m not just a host—I’m a passionate tourism advocate working to bring meaningful change to my village. As the founder of Bangladesh’s first government-recognized community-based homestay, I’ve created a space where travellers experience authentic hospitality while directly supporting local families.
Set in the culturally rich and naturally beautiful village of Juri, Moulvibazar, our tours are more than sightseeing—they are about real connection. Guests engage with tribal communities, explore lush tea gardens, hike to waterfalls, and share stories over traditional meals.
Every booking helps us empower villagers, preserve indigenous culture, and build a more inclusive local economy through tourism. If you want to explore Bangladesh off the beaten track—and help a community grow in the process—this experience is for you.

Madhovkundo eco-park
Begin your journey at Madhabkunda Eco Park, a serene forest reserve offering well-maintained trails, dense greenery, and peaceful rest spots. As you enter, the sounds of birds and rustling leaves welcome you into nature. Continue on a guided hike through the Patharia Hills, where the trail winds through towering trees, gentle slopes, and fresh mountain air. Along the way, walk past scenic tea estates, where workers hand-pick leaves in rolling fields of green. The path leads to the breathtaking Madhabkunda Waterfall, the largest natural waterfall in Bangladesh. Here, you can take a refreshing deep bath or swim in the natural pool, surrounded by rocky cliffs and forest views—a perfect reward after a peaceful nature trek.
Hakaluki Haor
Located near Juri, Hakaluki Haor is one of Asia’s largest and most biodiverse marsh wetlands, offering a peaceful retreat into nature’s untouched beauty. This vast seasonal wetland is a haven for migratory birds, especially in winter, when flocks from as far as Siberia arrive, creating an unforgettable spectacle. Visitors can enjoy a traditional boat ride across its calm waters, passing floating vegetation, fishing villages, and scenic landscapes that stretch to the horizon. The journey provides an opportunity to observe local life up close, engage with fishermen, and witness how rural communities sustainably live alongside this fragile ecosystem. For birdwatchers, nature lovers, and those seeking tranquil, off-the-beaten-path experiences, Hakaluki Haor offers a rare blend of biodiversity, culture, and serene beauty.
