Hi Mahmud,
Thank you very much for your very friendly invitations and patience with the many questions. May I ask a few of my own? If my company allows it, I am planning to travel in Eastern India in December and January. 1. What is the weather like in Bangladesh (wet? cold?) 2. Will there be a lot of tourists in Dhaka? 3. What cities or villages outside of Dhaka would be a good representation of traditional life in Bangladesh? and finally... 4. What are the top 5 sites that you believe a tourist should visit anywhere in your country? Thanks again for all of your great responses! |

I just started planning my trip and though I don't have too many questions at the present. couple things come to mind..
1. Will be there around end of Oct and Nov. Okay to travel those months. Any areas to be avoided. It says those months are cyclone season..is that true or did i just read wrong. 2. Not a typical westerner traveling in Bangladesh..Indian origin with US passport. Other than local clothes anything else I should think about. 3. Is it easy to travel without a fixed agenda. Just go with the flow. What are some things/places which I MUST plan ahead and if so how far ahead. (i know vague question) Thanks... |

Hi,
I'm also interested in travelling from Delhi to Bangladesh. I rarely don't know about this land. The idea just came up yesterday. Some questions: 1. Is it safe to travel? 2. Where is the best destination to fly to? We would like to see the woods and the beach. We plan to have 3 weeks time. 3. What are the must sees? Thanks for any input |

Hello there,
Thanks for your post. 1. Yes, defenitely Bangladesh is totally safe for traveller. 2. Kolkata-Dhaka or Kolkata-Chittagong is the best route for you. Chittagong region is the best for wood and beach (Cox'sBazar) 3. In Dhaka: Ahsan Manzil, Lalbag Fort, National Memorial, National Meuseum and many more In Chittagong Region: Chittagong Hill tract (need prior permission), Cox'sBazar, St. Martin (Very nice coral Island), 2nd world war cemetry, Mainamoti(Comilla-Buddist montestory 8-10th Century) and many more. Thanks, Saiful Dhaka |

I know nothing more about it (not even what precisely is going on there -- frictions between tribals and Bengalis and the state I believe?), but aren't the Chittagong Hill Tracts to be approached with some caution & decent up-to-date information?

The Hill Tract area in the recent months has been fine. No friction. But situtation change depending on things...like elections which are coming up soon.
You have to take permission to go to Bandarban and Rangamati P.S The Bandarban fax number in Lonely Planet is WRONG. The digits are reversed. Last digit is 2nd last and 2nd last is last. |
