Situated
on an alluvial plain, Bangladesh is a multicultural
country full of beautiful scenery inhabited by a population
rich in traditions and time-honored rituals, especially
as the topography changes in the eastern regions.
There are as many as 27 different
tribes living in Bangladesh most of whom live in the
eastern hilly regions. Each tribe has their own customs
and traditions, religion, and language. Their differences
in customs and traditions are rooted in a variety
of aboriginal elements that have dominated their lives
throughout the centuries. The majority of these tribes
are matriarchal. They grow their own food on hilltop
farms as well as down in the valleys, and weave their
own clothes. The men folk concentrate on hunting while
the women are the main working force-among other things,
they are skilled in making handicrafts. Among the
commonly known tribes are the Mog, Murong, Tipara,
Gharo, Chakma, Marma, Khashia, Kuki, Khumi, Lusai,
Bom, etc. All these tribes appear to be of East Asian
ethnic descent.
Note: We have kept days open to visit
the tribal areas and observe their way of life and
culture in our Tour 02. On top of this, we offer an
exclusive tour package (Tour 05) to explore the tribal
life and culture.
