The neighbouring countries of India and Bangladesh have a shared history and many similar cultural traditions and this itinerary combines both with a unique journey through North East India and rural Bangladesh. Flying to Dibrugarh, visits are made to Dibru Saikhowa and Kaziranga National Parks before continuing to Meghalaya, its capital Shillong and beautiful Cherrapunjee. Crossing overland into Bangladesh, time is spent around Sylhet, Bangladesh's very own 'tea country', and in the charming textile village of Tangail before ending in Bangladesh's bustling capital Dhaka.
