Are you one of those poor souls who has yet to see and breathe the clean air of the countryside just outside of Dhaka??? Then this Friday daytrip is for you.

Hosted by Big Blue Entertainment, this is one of those rare opportunities to get you out of the city and relaxing with some road pops at a beautiful countryside house. From the hosts themselves:

“We’re planning a fun, enlightening, unique and incredibly-affordable day trip to Gazipur, only an hour’s drive from Gulshan. Private buses will depart at around 10:30 on Friday 20 November and stop first at the Lal Teer (Red Arrow) Seed Factory, which is the most renowned seed distributor in Bangladesh. We’ll take a fascinating tour of its premises, enjoy a traditional Bangladeshi lunch and then jump back in the buses for a ten-minute journey to a private, stunning rest spot, the Awal Farmhouse, that includes picnic areas, a massive garden comprising plantlife from around the world, and opportunities to fish, enjoy a nature walk and take in the fresh air and open space.

For those who are interested, we’re organizing a very informal football tournament, while everyone else can sunbathe, tour the garden, take advantage of amazing photographic opportunities, and experience the finest of Bangladesh’s nature and climate. Towards the late afternoon: high tea, followed by a relaxing trip back to Gulshan.

For lovers of the outdoors, photographers, families, football enthusiasts, those who are interested in learning about agriculture and industry in Bangladesh, and people who wish to meet some new friends, this is a great tour package.”
