Country

Bangladesh

Bangladesh is a land of rivers, resilience, and raw beauty. It's one of the most densely populated countries on Earth, yet it feels incredibly rural. It's not a typical tourist destination, which means you'll be treated as a guest, not a walking wallet. From the mangrove forests of the Sundarbans to the tea gardens of Sylhet, it's an adventure for the patient traveler.

Transport

Chaotic but functional. Trains are the best way to travel long distances (book AC class). Buses are frequent but reckless. River ferries (launches) are a quintessential experience.
