The trip was a wonderful experience on so many levels. Getting to visit the archaeological sites in North Bangal was amazing. Some of the Hindu Temples and Mosques are still in very good shape and you marvel at the craftsmanship. You also learn a lot of local and national history. The team from MAM Holidays Bangladesh worked very hard to make this an experience of a life time. They took excellent care of us. And yes, we felt perfectly safe on this trip (a lot of our friends have been wondering about that, so I will volunteer this information here). In addition to visiting archaeological sites in North Bengal, you also get a close look at the local culture. We were able to see how the rural population lives, and experienced the openness and friendliness of the rural communities. Last, not least, you get to taste the local cuisine in what is considered middle class restaurants. The curries are superb. Overall, I highly recommend this trip for the lover of history and archaeology. We were so happy about our experience that we will book with MAM Holidays anytime we are in the area and want to take a trip.
