Top 10 Reasons to Come to Bangladesh
Posted by Kristin Boekhoff on May 31st, 2009Bangladesh is an exciting country with many unusual, interesting, and beautiful things to see. So what are our top ten reasons to come to Bangladesh?
Reason #1: Tiger tracking in the amazing Sundarban Forest, the world’s largest mangrove forest and World Heritage Site.
Reason #2: Ability to have an authentic cultural experience in a mud village that is untouched by tourism.
Reason #3: Boat tours in the world’s largest river delta.
Reason #4: Five color tea served at a working tea plantation.
Reason #5: Dinner for under $1.
Reason #6: Rickshaw rides in the monsoon.
Reason #7: Sweet, fried zilapis and fresh coconut milk during Ifetar (the evening feast after the daily Ramadan fast).
Reason #8: 54 different tribal cultures - many located in the largely unexplored Chittagong Hill Tracts.

It sounds amazing. I would love to go to Bangladesh some day.
Really i love bangla, my bangladesh.
First of all, kudos to you Kristin for such a nice write-up on Bangladesh.
Indeed, as you put it rightly, it is next door to impossible for anyone to choose just a few things among so many of the nicer facets of Bangladesh. But I feel you have put the nail right on the head with those points.
Only if I may add one of my most favorite places to visit in Bangladesh, now that we are talking about traveling as well. It’s the St. Martin’s Island - one of the most serene & tranquil places to visit in Bangladesh.
If you love blue sea water and corals, this is the place to go. And for sea food lovers - well, the fresh lobsters, pomfrets and crabs are just a few of the delicacies that are bound to bring water to your tongue and incite your taste buds! Enjoy the places and do have a visit folks.
I can’t recommend it more not just because it’s my country but for I know how pure the sights and sounds of this green country is.
i am so honoured to learn that its not only me as a bangladeshi but also a non bangladeshi who is curious about my country..you have done a very good job…much appreciated…
