About Bangladesh
A young country with an ancient soul, set in the world's largest river delta where the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna meet the sea.
Bangladesh sits at the head of the Bay of Bengal, a low-lying land shaped and fed by hundreds of rivers. This is a place of water and green — paddy fields that stretch to the horizon, fishing boats on wide brown rivers, and forests that rise from the tide.
Despite being one of the most densely populated countries on earth, it holds astonishing natural variety: the longest natural sea beach in the world, the largest mangrove forest, tea-covered hills in the northeast, and cloud-wrapped mountains in the southeast. Layered on top is a rich human story — Mughal architecture, ancient Buddhist and Hindu sites, colonial-era cities, and dozens of indigenous communities.

Travel Tips
Visas
Many nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival or an e-visa. Check the latest requirements with your nearest Bangladesh mission before travelling.
When to go
The cool, dry winter (November–March) is the most comfortable time to travel. The monsoon (June–September) brings lush green landscapes but heavy rain.
Getting around
Trains, long-distance buses and domestic flights connect the major cities. Rivers are highways too — launch boats reach much of the south.
Respect & etiquette
Dress modestly at religious sites, ask before photographing people, and you'll find warmth and hospitality almost everywhere you go.
