Bangladesh
A land of waterways in the South Asian Ganges Delta, with a record-long beach, mangroves and tea gardens.
Bangladesh lies in the Ganges–Brahmaputra Delta of South Asia, crisscrossed by rivers, bordered by India and Myanmar to the north and east and by the Bay of Bengal to the south. Cox's Bazar has a vast natural sand beach, the Sundarbans is one of the world's largest mangrove forests and home to the Bengal tiger, and Sylhet has expanses of tea gardens. There are also World Heritage Sites such as the Mosque City of Bagerhat and the Buddhist ruins at Paharpur, and Dhaka's old town is full of street life. November to February is cool and dry and the best time to visit, while June to October is the rainy season. The main gateway is Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka.
