Hello from Dhaka, Bangladesh – Glad to Be Here!

Hi everyone!

I’m Sohid Ullah from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I’m really excited to be part of the Local Guides Connect community!

I joined the Local Guides program because I truly enjoy exploring new places and helping others by sharing my experiences on Google Maps. I especially love traveling, tasting local foods from different regions, and being close to nature—whether it’s forests, seas, or peaceful natural environments.

Some of my favorite things to do include:

  • Trying out traditional dishes from local eateries
  • Visiting scenic places and hidden gems around the country
  • Contributing to Maps by adding missing places and writing reviews to guide fellow travelers

Looking forward to connecting with other passionate Local Guides around the world and learning from your journeys!

Warm regards,
Sohid Ullah

Location-Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India

What I Love About Being a Local Guide-
As a Local Guide, I’ve had the opportunity to share my passion for exploration and discovery with others. Having experienced the challenge of navigating unfamiliar places without guidance, I joined Google Maps as a Local Guide to help others discover hidden gems and favorite spots in their community.

I love:

  • Developing new skills like photography, writing, and communication while exploring my community
  • Earning badges, rewards, and recognition for my contributions
  • Continuously discovering new places, trying new experiences, and staying up-to-date with local events and news.

My Favorite Thing to Explore-
Chitrakoot, a city in Madhya Pradesh, India, is a treasure trove of natural beauty, spiritual significance, and cultural heritage. I’m fascinated by:

  • Kamadgiri Hills
  • Mandakini River
  • Waterfalls
  • Sati Anusuya Temple
  • Bharat Milap Temple
  • Hanuman Dhara

These are just a few of the many amazing things to explore in Chitrakoot.

About Me-
Hello! I’m Digvijay Kumar Yadav, a passionate Local Guide from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. With a keen interest in exploration and discovery, I love sharing my knowledge of local hidden gems and favorite spots with fellow travelers and explorers.

As a Local Guide, I’ve developed a deep understanding of my community and its surroundings. I’m excited to help others experience the beauty and charm of India, particularly in Chitrakoot, a city that holds a special place in my heart.

Thank you!!
