Experience tribal village life, visit weekly bazaars and support local tribal handicrafts and take home unique jewelry, hand-woven cloth, flutes and more. This is typical of our trekking adventures, a 6 day trek including a river journey by country boat to Ruma, then an moderate day's hike up a river bed to the lily-filled Boga lake and a lakeside Bawm tribal village. Below the lake you'll find a Marma village. On and up to Keokaradong, the highest peak in Bangladesh (4,400 ft.). There's no roads nor electricity this deep, but your heart will surely glow bright with the warm association of the Bawm and Marma people. You'll really enjoy their profound hospitality, and 'guitar' evenings.
Take a river cruise through the hills and then trek up to the natural formed lotus filled Boga Lake. Stay at a "Bawm" village and learn first-hand about this most peace-loving and open people. Stay with the headman and his family, join in a "guitar" evening. Then on and up to Keokeradong, the highest peak in Bangladesh (4,500 ft.).
Visit a Chakma village and historical Buddhist "Kyangs". Your visit will directly help in the preservation of this still pristine environment and tribal cultural heritage.
