| Bangladesh Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Naf Reiver, Bangladesh Myanmar border Naf Reiver, Bangladesh Myanmar border mpru69@yahoo.com Bangladesh is a very densly populated country in South Asia. It shares a very long border with neighbour India and if it wasn't for a short border of 25 kilomters with Myanmar, India would be the only neighbour. Bangladesh was the Eastern part of Pakistan after the split between India and Pakistan in 1947. The Bengalis then had a second struggle for independance with the Pakistanis, but now they have their own country. Independence from Pakistan was achieved in 1971. Dhaka is the capital city of Bangladesh. It is the largest city and the fastest growing city as well. It is the best starting point for travels in the country. In the south, near the Myanmar border, Chittagong is the second largest and fastest growing city. It is a pretty place with tombs and mosques to visit. Not to mention the natural sights just miles away from the city. Cox's bazar is known to have the longest running shore-line in the world. This city has since been developed into an obvious touring spot. During the tourist season, reservations to hotels are done months in advance, otherwise the hotels closest to the shore have to get off the list. __________History Edit This i Bangladesh, formely the east wing of Pakistan, emerged as an independent nation in December 1971. The exclamation on the occasion--"Joi Bangla! Joi Bangla!" (Victory to Bengal! Victory to Bengal!) was a collective and plaintive cry following a particularly bitter and bloody struggle for freedom. These words echoed the cultural and ethnic disposition of the new state--in short the ethos of the people--that Bangladesh was to be a culturally and linguistically cohesive unit. Pakistan itself had been created on August 15 1947 largely the result of communal passions pitting Hindus against Muslims. Pakistan was divided into two wings separated by 1 600 kilometers of Indian territory with Islam only a tenuous link between the two wings. Of paramount importance to East Pakistanis was the Bangla (before 1971 usually referred to as Bengali) language and culture a consideration not appreciated by the West Wing of Pakistan until it was too late. When Bangladesh joined the community of nations it was at first recognized by only India and Bhutan. With its fragile and underdeveloped economic infrastructure under extreme duress its law and order situation challenged by numerous well-armed contingents of unemployed former freedom fighters its impoverished population agitated by the unfulfilled promise of rising expectations Bangladesh was in international circles given the unfortunate label of "international basket case." Bangladeshis rejoiced at their attainment of independence and offered their adulation to the first national leader of Bangladesh Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (Mujib) or the Bangabandhu the "Beloved of Bangladesh." Yet the future of Bangladesh envisioned by the Bangabandhu and enshrined in the 1972 Constitution as nationalism socialism secularism and democracy was as uncertain and ephemeral as the Bengal monsoon. In 1975 Mujib by then discredited for presiding over a bankrupt and corrupt regime was assassinated along with most of his family. In the ensuing years a number of regimes rose and fell in the violent legacy of Bangladeshi politics. Authoritarian and military rule has dominated the short history of Bangladesh. But Bengali society is known for its mercurial politics and popular demands for a more open government in Bangladesh while under control in the late 1980s continued unabated. __________Practical Information Edit This If you need any kin of recnt information about bangladesh, you can write to Bangladesh Travel Helprs Fourm.

The most prefered by tourists are taxi. Then there is rickshaw, a 3-wheeled bike and a big seat for at least two passengers. Cheaper but not so safe. There is also autorickshaw, also 3-wheeled but not a bike, a car with seats for at least two passengers. It's safer than rickshaw and also faster. There is also the bus, very crowded and not so clean. Buses also have a messy schedule and limited stops. There is the train, not all trains are crowded. Trains are also the best transportation to villages and to neighboring countries. You can also get to see the green beauty of Bangladesh that is left out in all the polution and buildings. There is also boats. Boats are not crowded. It is slow but it is nice. Some boats also have shops inside that sell a variety of items. There are also special boats where you can buy fresh fruits, fish and vegetables. Boats are available to and from Cox Bazaar and other areas. Some special areas use animals like elephants, horses and other animals. ________Getting There Edit This To get to Bangladesh, you can use the most efficient way, depending on where you are coming from. If you are going from India, Bhutan or Myanmar, you can come by air, rail, sea or road. If you are coming from elsewhere, use air. The major airport in Bangladesh is Zia International Airport Dhaka. The second largest airport is the Chittagong Airport in Chittagong, Bangladesh. About 60-40% of all the airlines in this world have flights available to Dhaka, Bangladesh. ________Economy Edit This Economy - overview: Despite sustained domestic and international efforts to improve economic and demographic prospects, Bangladesh remains a poor, overpopulated, and ill-governed nation. Although half of GDP is generated through the service sector, nearly two-thirds of Bangladeshis are employed in the agriculture sector, with rice as the single-most-important product. Major impediments to growth include frequent cyclones and floods, inefficient state-owned enterprises, inadequate port facilities, a rapidly growing labor force that cannot be absorbed by agriculture, delays in exploiting energy resources (natural gas), insufficient power supplies, and slow implementation of economic reforms. Economic reform is stalled in many instances by political infighting and corruption at all levels of government. Progress also has been blocked by opposition from the bureaucracy, public sector unions, and other vested interest groups. The BNP government, led by Prime Minister Khaleda ZIA, has the parliamentary strength to push through needed reforms, but the party's political will to do so has been lacking in key areas.

This day brings various festivals, musicals and other various programs. However, the festival at that time of the year does not stop the new generation to party during December 31st to celebrate the English New Year. Being a country with a large percentage of Muslim citizens, the two Eids are also a time joy and family festivals. Not to mention the Eid shopping spree that is known to contest the western Christmas shopping spree. [Add Festival] Durga Puja Edit This The second most common religous group (though only 10% of the population) are Hindus. Durga Puja is the most visibly celebrated of the Hindu Festivals in Bangladesh. Though stifled a little by fears of relighous hatred in recent years it is worth visiting Hindu communities during this time to see the colourful statues of the gods, particularly the ten-armed goddess Durga. On the final day of the celebrations the Durga statues are thrown into a river and the day is often accompanied by colourful boat races.

There are traditional markets on Kemal Ataturk Avenue and more modern shops on Road Eleven and elsewhere. There are also a number of hotels and guesthouses. The numbered road system doesn't quite make sense and as in most other rich parts of Dhaka, poverty is on the doorstep. The large lake is usually polluted by sewage and nearby garment factories and has little opportunity to walk the shores but is the site of several plant sale enterprises. ::::::::::Banderban Hill Trackts Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Buddah Jadi Banderban Buddah Jadi Banderban Patrick D'Costa eMail: banderban@gmail.com Banderban hill trackts is a fantastic place in Bangladesh.

As a natural port, it has long been a meeting place of world's many major trading nations like Arabs from 9th centuries, portugese in the 16th centuries. Before Mughals captured it in 1666, it was ruled by different Burmese and Arakanese monarchies, and for few times under the portugese control. Many old portugese structures are seen in different parts of the city which reminds it's multi-cultural and multi-ethnic heritage. Under British rule, The eastern railway Headquarters was set up in Chittagong. Many Victorian style structures in the city still reminds of the British presence in this city. It is becoming as the nations second mega city with all sorts of international standard eminitiess. The city is located on Karnaphuli River on the Bay of Bengal. Among the city’s sights are several tombs and religious shrines including the Tomb of Sultan Bayazid Bostami (note the hundreds of tortoises in the tank representing evil souls). The Shah Jame Mosque built on a hillside offers excellent views. The 14th-century Qadam (Kadam) Mubarak Mosque contains what’s said to be a footprint of the Prophet. Other attractions include the ethnological museum in Agrabad the World War II Military Cemetery (graves of British Australian and other soldiers) the 300-year-old Portuguese Arsenal (interesting architecture) and the harbor area (called the “Sadarghat ” it’s the city’s oldest area).

The setting for this beach with its silvery gold sand is tropical-forested hills. The best time to go there is at sunrise and sunset when the sand changes colors. Enjoy water-related activities, shop for handmade clothes, relax and enjoy the scenery. Cox's bazar is very quickly becoming a well visited tourist spot for Bangladesh and during the months of September and October the beach can get very crowded. Usually hotel walk-ins are almost hard to find, specially the ones which are closest to the beach. Further down south from the town are other parts of the beaches which are not well known to tourists. Here you can go early in the morning and see the fishermen coming back with her morning catch as the sun rises by the horizon. Despite its increasing commercialisation, Coxs Bazar is a great place to visit. If you are a foreigner, everyone will want to talk to you and have their picture taken with you, which is a bit annoying, but at least it is a way to get to talk to people and meet local people. I personally prefer the hotels away from the town, southwards, which although more 'touristy' are quieter and nearer to the emptier parts of the beach. A favourite activity in CXB is watching the sun set; everyone watches it and it is lovely. Good for photos. ___________Sights Edit This GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 wikimedia common [Add Sight] St. Martin's Edit This GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 photo by: wikimedia common St. Martin's Island is a small island in the northeast part of the Bay of Bengal, about 9 km south of the tip of the Cox's Bazar-Teknaf peninsula, and forming the southernmost part of Bangladesh.

The city of Dhaka is about as developed as it gets in Bangladesh, and visitors are instantly surprised by the ceaseless flow of motorized traffic flooding, and infact saturating the streets. The only place to really stock up on essentials if you're touring the rest of the country, as well as being a fascinating place in its own right, a visit to Bangladesh is almost like stepping into a time warp back to a simpler era, whereas the capital, Dhaka has clearly avoided that time warp, keeping well ahead of the rest of the country, so much so as to be nearly at par with cities like Mumbai. You can get cheap deals on flights to Dhaka throughout the year, and once there, the cost of living is amongst the lowest in the world, making Dhaka, and Bangladesh as a whole amongst the best value destinations in the world. Dhaka is friendly and relatively clean in the posh areas, though it is nearly always oversaturated with people of all walks of life. Just be aware of the rickshaws in the Old City. There are many sights to attract visitors. The most important sights are the Lalbagh Fort, the National Assembly Building, the Baitul Mukkaram Mosque,National museum,Savar smiti saudo,shahid minar, national gardens, zoo & many more important place When you are staying a bit longer, the many markets in town are absolutely worth a visit as well. From the 'miniature' shopping malls that have popped up prettymuch all over posh areas like Gulshan, Banani Baridhara, Dhanmondi etc. to the tourists favorite Bongobazar and New Market, where things are cheaper than your wildest imaginations. And if you are to visit dhaka, make sure you find accomodation in mentioned areas (Gulshan, Banani, Baridhara, Dhanmondi), possibly at one of the many hotels there which provide pleasantly well service. Dining too is delightful there with an array of eateries all over Gulshan and Banani, with its famous road no. 11 literally lined up end to end with places to grab a bite and thoroughly enjoy it. Though lacking a proper nightlife, places like the American Club, Dhaka Club, Uttara Club, Gulshan Club and a handfull of bars are always there with regular events. Alcohol too, contrary to popular belief, is readily available at any good hotel or resthouse, or at the bars(though there aren't many) like Kozmo. If you're not sure, just ask the locals. They are surprisingly helpful in these matters. ::::::::Dinajpur Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Mosque in Dinajpur built by Raja Pran Nath around 1740 Mosque in Dinajpur built by Raja Pran Nath around 1740 Saif Ahmed Dinajpur is a district in the northern part of Bangladesh, famous for mangoes and Lichees and some fragrant varieties of rice.

Storia
[modifica]
Periodo pre colonialeIl Bangladesh è terra di ricche e antiche civiltà. Essa si colloca nella parte orientale delle ragione del Bengala, che scoperte archeologiche piazzano come centro di una civiltà avanzata nel 500 A.C., ma che già aveva complesse strutture sociali nel 1000 A.C. Uno dei riferimenti più antichi lo si trova in certi testi greci del II-I sec. A.C. nei quali si menziona una terra chiamata Gangaridai. Questa parola sembra derivare da Gangahrd (Terra-com-il-Gange-nel-proprio-cuore) che potrebbe riferirsi all'area dell'odierno Bangladesh. Testimonianze più concrete di un'entità politica nel Bengala si hanno con Shashanka, nel VII sec. D.C. I periodi di maggiore stabilità politica si è avuto, in seguito, con le dinastie Pala, Shashanka e Sena. La dinastia Pala aveva radici buddiste, mentre sia la dinastia Shashanka che Sena erano induiste.
