Bangladeshi Sights

Dhaka

Dhaka, there are sites to see. The British Rule never made it, but they do have a great National Assembly and there are ruins of old palaces and a Mughal Fort. Generally, the main area to hang out in is Motijheel, whilst all the Embassies and private bars are in the Gulshan area . The old city is great to walk around. The locals are awesome.

Chittagong

The second largest city in Bangladesh. There are numerous Buddhist Monasteries amongst the Islamic Mosques. From Chittagong, see the largest ship breaking yards in the world.

Cox’s Bazaar

The worlds longest beach. Who would believe that Bangladesh can boast this. Swim there, you will be the only tourist. Above the city is a huge Buddhist Monastery. There are various Stupas as well. The Buddhists and the images are related to the Burmese.

Sylhet

Grab a bike and go cycling though tea estates. If you are lucky, you might get a tour and a taste test. There are also tribal communities, but they are very hard to contact. Visit the daily pilgrims to the Shrine of Hazrat Shah Jalal. Take a walk through the Lowacherra Forest. It is dense with trees and if you are lucky, you will spot the local wildlife.

Sundarban
World's largest mangrove single forest. Place of Royal Bengal Tigers. Its a must see sight.
