Travel Buddy

You don’t search. You say it, and the trip assembles itself.

It asks what it needs, infers what it can, and tells you the thing a brochure never would.

Three days in the hills with my parents, sometime in December

December is the right call — dry season, so the mornings at Nilgiri are clear.

With your parents I’d fly to Chittagong rather than take the night coach. Nine hours on a bus is a lot to ask of them, and the flight is only ৳900 more each.

Two over seventy, so I’ve only shown places with a ground-floor room and a bathroom your father can use.

That rules out some of what’s up there. I’d rather tell you now than let you find out on arrival.

Ghuuri Access

So you can finally bring your mother.

Every Access property is measured on site by someone we trained, against a fixed schedule. Not a checkbox the owner ticked. “Wheelchair accessible” is a claim. A measurement is something you can plan around.

47 of 50 places surveyed

And where we haven’t been yet

3 places are not surveyed. They say so, in those words, and they never show as a pass.

Not surveyed for access and almost certainly unsuitable for anyone with mobility limits. Permit and guide required to reach Ruma at all.

Tell us once what you need — stairs, a pram, oxygen, a knee that will not take a slope — and every stay, activity and itinerary is scored against it from then on. You will not be asked again.

The Jar

Someday is not a plan. The 14th of March is.

Pick the trip. Put aside what you can each week. Watch the weeks fill while the date comes to meet you. A family that starts a Jar in December has already chosen where they are going for Eid.

3 nights at Lushai Kitchen Homestay, the coach from Dhaka and the convoy jeep both ways.

If the room is not what we showed you, we move you that night

and refund the difference. No platform in Bangladesh makes that promise, which is exactly why we are making it.
