Discover Bangladesh
Bangladesh is one of the few countries in South Asia, which remains to be
explored. Bangladesh has a delicate and distinctive attraction of its own to
offer and it is definitely not a tourist haunt like Nepal or India.
Bangladesh is like a painter's dream come true with a rich tapestry of
colors and texture. The traditional emphasis of the tourist trade has always
been on the material facilities offered by a country rather than on its
actual charms. This may be a reason why Bangladesh has seldom been
highlighted in the World's tourist maps.
It's a land of enormous beauty, hundreds of serpentine rivers, crystal
clear water lakes surrounded by ever green hills, luxuriant tropical rain
forests, beautiful cascades of green tea gardens, world's largest mangrove
forest preserved as World Heritage, home of the Royal Bengal Tiger and the
wild lives, warbling of birds in green trees, wind in the paddy fields,
abundance of sunshine, world's longest natural sea beach, rich cultural
heritage, relics of ancient Buddhist civilizations and colorful tribal
lives, - Bangladesh creates an unforgettable impression of a land of peace.
Getting There
By Road
Road construction is made difficult in Bangladesh by the numerous rivers
and their marked seasonal fluctuation in width and depth. Bridging the major
channels is too expensive, so you will be waiting a lot for ferries if you
travel widely by road.
By Rail
There are railways in Bangladesh, but their expansion is also limited by
the yearly rising of the rivers.
By Boat
Inland waterways carry much of the country's domestic freight and passenger
traffic. The commercially operated routes are cut in half during the dry
season.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines provides international and domestic air services.
The main international airport is at Dhaka.
