Experience Bangladesh on a 10-Day Photography Expedition. Capture the Spirit of Bangladesh. This 10-day expedition centers around Rakher Upobash, one of Bangladesh’s most visually stunning and spiritually profound religious traditions. Held during the final part of the Bengali month of Kartik, Hindu devotees fast and gather at Loknath temples and ashrams to light rows of small earthen and ghee lamps in a deeply personal display of faith, prayer, and devotion. Beyond the festival, the tour provides an immersive documentary journey through Bangladesh’s heavy industries, rivers, brickfields, textile-drying fields, and working coastal communities. Why Join Our Rakher Upobash Photography Tour? Festival of lights: experience Rakher Upobash at major Loknath centers, capturing low-light environmental portraits, glowing faces, and rows of devotional lamps. Urban & industrial life: explore Dhaka’s bustling markets, plastic recycling units, heavy brickfields, river traffic, and shipyards. Coastal & rural diversity: travel to Cox’s Bazar for working coastal communities and Brahmanbaria for traditional rice-drying chatal fields.
Hidden Bangladesh: Ethnic Communities & Indigenous Life Photography Tour is a 7-Day documentary photography journey designed to explore this less-seen side of the country.
The tour takes photographers from Madhupur in Tangail to the tea gardens of Sreemangal, the Khasi settlements of Lawachara, the ethnic communities of Dinajpur, and finally Lama in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, while also visiting a Telugu settlement in Dhaka.
Rather than simply visiting ethnic villages as tourists, the tour is designed around human stories, environmental portraits, traditional clothing, homes, occupations, cultural practices, and everyday community life with Photo Tour Bangla.
