Bangladesh Cities
Staying in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is in South Asia, bordering the Bay of Bengal to the south, mostly surrounded by India and bordering Myanmar in the southeast.
There’s a broad range of hotels in Bangladesh, from economy hotels costing $1 per night up to 5-star hotels in some of the major cities, including chains like Radisson Dhaka, Sheraton Dhaka, and Westin Dhaka. Another comfortable place of note is Lakeshore Hotels and Apartments.
Bangladesh is a country with lots of places to visit, many of which offer unforgettable experiences but remain relatively unknown to the rest of the world.
Dhaka (the Capital) has a number of attractions for the tourists. They include, but are not limited to, the Lalbagh Quilla, Ahsan Manjil, Shaheed Minar, Boro Katra, Choto Katra, the National Museum, Jatiyo Songshad Bhaban(the Parliament Building) etc.
The Suhrawardy Uddan and the Ramna Park are two parks that provide green respite to the city dwellers. Other tourist attractions include places like Baitul Mukarram (National Mosque), the High Court Building, the Bangabandhu Museum, etc. If you’re only visiting one thing, then the LalBagh Qilla fort is a must see, in the older part of town.
The older part of Dhaka, known as “Puran Dhaka”, is literally a city of history, with hundred year old buildings crammed on each sides of hundreds of narrow lanes. Each Moholla (city block) of Puran Dhaka is unique with its specialized shops and artisans and gives an authentic taste of what Dhaka is all about.
The rest of Bangladesh is also ornamented with thousands of gems, most of which remain hidden and await exploration. The names are endless, but the prominent ones include, Moynamoti, Paharpur (Shompur Bihar), Mohasthangor, Kantajir Mondir, Ramshagor, Shatgombuj Mosque, Khanjahan Ali’s Shrine, Shriti Shoudho etc. These sites offer architectures from various eras of the country’s history, including Buddhist, Hindu and Muslim eras and date back thousand years.
The natural beauty of Bangladesh can be explored away from the hustle and bustle of Dhaka, the Capital. Bangladesh has the longest unbroken sea beach in the world: the Cox’sbazar. Also, it has the largest mangrove forest in the world: the Sundarbans.
The hills of Rangamati, Khagrachori and Bandarban offer exciting trekking opportunities, while the Kaptai Lake (situated amongst the hills of Rangamati) can be considered a romantic getaway.
The villages are the true countryside of Bangladesh and almost always have green paddy fields and yellow mustard fields with rivers flowing. Other natural wonders of Bangladesh include the Padma (Ganges) river, the Madhabkunda, Jaflong, the tea gardens of Sylhet and Moulovibazar,
