What people say
Sina, Morocco
Fantastic experience with amazing people. I went to Uganda alone relying solely on OTP organization. Not only I was amazed by the activities and places discovered, but I also met very nice people that are now friends I will for sure see again. OTP makes you explore smoothly remote and beautiful places but also connects you with people similar to you. Thumbs up !

Husam, Lebanon
Just got back from Uganda with Off The Path UAE - what an adventure!
Uganda completely blew me away, and the team made sure every single day was seamless: smooth logistics, comfortable arrangements, zero stress. What I loved most was how packed the itinerary was - I crossed off more items from my travel wishlist in this one trip than I usually do in an entire year.
If you're thinking about booking with them, just do it. You'll be in great hands with nothing to worry about except enjoying every moment.
This is Bangladesh up close — vibrant, intense and deeply authentic.
Beyond Dhaka’s bustling streets, discover peaceful tea country, river life, colourful markets and rural communities where traditions are part of everyday life.
But what may stay with you most is the people. Expect remarkable hospitality, genuine curiosity, warm welcomes and spontaneous encounters along the way.
A journey of contrasts - raw and deeply human.
Come with an open mind. Bangladesh will surprise you.

Our journey begins on an island along the Meghna River, where we'll experience rural life and meet local villagers.
In the afternoon, we'll continue to Barodi for the spectacular Candle Light Festival, when thousands of candles illuminate the area, before returning to Dhaka for the night.
Day 2 — Inside the Chaos of Old Dhaka
Dive into the energy of Bangladesh's capital, starting at Karwan Bazar, the country's largest wholesale market.
We'll then explore the maze of Old Dhaka, from colourful markets and historic neighbourhoods to mosques, Lalbagh Fort, Ahsan Manzil and the Buriganga River.
Day 3 — By Train into Tea Country
Board a local train for the scenic journey to Sreemangal, watching Dhaka gradually give way to villages, countryside and tea plantations.
We'll settle into our resort surrounded by historic tea estates before discovering local handicrafts, pottery, a rubber forest and Sreemangal's famous seven-layer tea.

Day 7 — Floating Markets & Water Lilies
Wake up in southern Bangladesh and explore Barisal's floating markets, travelling through a region where boats remain part of everyday life.
We'll also visit the seasonal water-lily wetlands before travelling back towards Dhaka via Bagerhat and its historic Sixty Dome Mosque.
