Jolpoddo Retreat

I have been working as a professional tour operator since 2009, and my journey began right here in Sreemangal. Over the years, I have guided and hosted both local and international travelers across Bangladesh. My focus has always been eco-friendly travel, authentic experiences, and responsible tourism. I am honored to be listed as an eco-guide in the Lonely Planet Travel Guide (2012 & 2016) and also mentioned in the Bradt Travel Guide, which has encouraged me to continue improving the quality of travel experiences I offer. Hosting guests is something I truly enjoy. I love helping people discover the natural beauty, culture, and warm hospitality of Bangladesh—especially Sreemangal, which will always feel like home to me. As a host, my goal is to ensure comfort, safety, and personalized support for every guest. Whether it’s planning their full trip, arranging transport, or sharing local tips, I always try to make each stay smooth, memorable, and meaningful.
