  Finlay Estate
by Bonobo2005
 
 

Favorite thing: A nice 2-3 day outing from Dhaka is a visit to Srimangal, surrounded by beautiful tea plantations that you can explore on a bicycle

You can contact Mr. Razu, who started a tourist business and is recommended in the LP-Bangladesh after he provided local info to the writer.

He can arrange a local guide -usually students and rents out bicycles. A bicycle tour should include a visit to an Estate. The enormous tea Estates are mostly British owned.

The Estate of Finlays, for example, offers work to 100.000 workers in main harvest season to produce 10 million kg of consumable tea! Finlays provides also houses for the worker’s families, education of the children and even medical and religious services.

The Lawachhara Reserve is also close, not amazing, just nice.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
