Covered in greenery as well as undulating hills.
Bangladesh
is one of the most mysterious and wonderful lands in South Asia.
The
people of Bangladesh are famously friendly and welcoming and the country is
full of cultural
wonders.
Bangladesh,
which means the land of the Bengals, is one of the most populated countries in
the
world with an estimated 170 million people.
In
the past, Buddhists ruled for centuries, but by the 10th century, Bengal was
primarily
Hindu.
In
1576, Bengal became part of the Mogul Empire, and the majority of East Bengalis
converted
to
Islam.
Bengal
was ruled by British India from 1757 until Britain withdrew in 1947.
After
this time, the province of Bengal was partitioned into East Bengal and West
Bengal,
ruled
by Pakistan.
In
1971, Bangladesh fought Pakistan for independence and became the independent
country Bangladesh
that
it is today.
Bangladesh
has no major rivers that originate within the country's territory.
Thus,
Bangladesh lacks full control over the flow of any of the streams that irrigate
it.
In
addition, there are many severe storms during the rainy season.
Each
year between June and October, the rivers overflow their banks and inundate the
countryside.
The
inundations are both a blessing and a disaster.
Without
them, the fertile silt deposits would not be replenished, but severe floods
regularly
damage
crops and sometimes take a heavy toll on human and animal populations.
The
typical household in Bangladesh, particularly in the villages, includes several
generations
of
extended family.
Most
marriages are arranged by parents or other relatives, but increasing numbers of
educated
men and women choose their own partners.
The
best time to discover Bangladesh is from October to March.The
easiest and cheapest way to get around is by rickshaw.
The
rickshaws in Bangladesh are unique and colorful.
Bangladesh
is covered by more than 700 rivers, producing a deliciously lush landscape with
more
shades of green than you ever imagined.
Traveling
by boat is a way of life here, and provides a fabulous opportunity to see the
country
from a more unusual angle.
As
an un-touristed destination, Bangladesh also lacks much infrastructure, and
traveling
around
can be hard work.
So
don’t try to pack too much into your journey.
It’s
a place to relax, meet people and discover new ideas and ways of life.
English
is not widely spoken, which can make independent travel difficult in more rural
areas.
Younger
people (eg students) are more likely to speak English than the older generation.
You
can ask them for help.
