Bangladesh is a country defined by water and though the country does experience flooding and some extreme weather, the rivers of Bangladesh (the Padma, Jamuna and the Meghna as well as hundreds of smaller waterways) bring fertility to this lush part of the world.
This densely populated nation of nearly 150 million people has had its hard times since becoming a country in 1971. But today, investment is being placed in its education and health sectors, and the country is seen as progressive with a promising emerging economy.
The capital city of Dhaka is a teeming metropolis in perpetual motion. It’s one of South Asia’s mega cities, known by some as the City of Mosques and by others as the Rickshaw Capital of the World. Dhaka’s old quarter is fascinating — a swirl of narrow streets and bustling bazaars, mosques and Hindu temples.
Visitors can venture out to the highlands and take a trip up to the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Those looking for a beach can visit the longest natural sandy sea beach in the world; Cox’s Bazar. The Sundarbans — the world’s largest mangrove forest — is home to exotic flora and fauna including the Royal Bengal Tiger.
Bangladesh is often a jumping-off point for jaunts around India, Nepal, Thailand or Cambodia.
Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport is the main airport for flights to Bangladesh, with Dhaka being one of the most popular destinations there. It is situated 13 miles from the city and there a couple of transport options to get into the city. You can pre-pay for a tax from inside the terminal, and go to the taxi stand outside of the airport. If you just want to take any taxi make sure to agree on a fee before you begin your journey. Drivers are known for overcharging tourists who aren’t experienced travelers in Bangladesh. There is also a fleet of cars, Jeeps and micro shuttles that can take you to popular points and hotels around the city. Finally, you can opt to ride the bus. There is a 5-minute walk down the main road and the buses are a lot cheaper than any other option. That said, after 8:00pm buses are extremely hard to find, and they are always very busy and very hot.
Shah Amanat International Airport (CGP) is in Chittagong, southeastern Bangladesh. It’s Bangladesh’s second-largest airfield. And Osmani International Airport (ZYL) is located northeast of the city of Sylhet in northeastern Bangladesh.
Domestic flights within Bangladesh are affordable, with domestic airlines linking Dhaka with Sylhet, and Chittagong and Cox’s Bazar. Taking local buses can be an adventure but there are air-conditioned coaches that connect the country’s most popular destinations. The country’s trains are slow, but rail travel can be a wonderful way to see the countryside.
The best way to see Bangladesh is, of course, from a river, and many operators offer boat and ferry trips. In Dhaka, rickshaws (cycle and auto) are the most popular way of getting around but make sure you settle on a price before your trip begins. Yellow and black taxis are also readily available.
If you are looking to fly out of Bangladesh, you will probably want to travel out of the Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, though there are two other international airports in the country. A few of the many airlines that fly out of Bangladesh include Air Asia, Emirates and Singapore Airlines. These and other airlines fly to global destinations that include major cities like London, Singapore and Hong Kong. The Shahjalal International Airport can be accessed by bus or car via Airport Road. There is also a railway station directly across from the airport.
