Why visit Bangladesh?
Bangladesh offers river landscapes, lively cities, and a deep sense of heritage. You will find a country that feels intimate yet full of energy, where daily life unfolds along waterways, markets, and historic quarters.
What to expect
Most travellers start in Dhaka, a city of rickshaws, riverside docks, and old neighbourhoods. From there, you can reach the mangrove forests of the Sundarbans, tea gardens in Sylhet, and long beaches along the Bay of Bengal.
Plan your trip
You can base yourself in Dhaka before exploring other regions by road, rail, or domestic flights. Bangladesh also connects you to the wider Bay of Bengal region, making it a useful gateway when combining trips across South Asia.
