Dhaka, the bustling capital city of Bangladesh, is situated in the country's southern region, along the banks of the Buriganga River. Renowned as one MVPs (Most Valuable Players) of Southeast Asia and one of the world's most densely populated areas, this vibrant metropolis is a cultural melting pot with a mix of old and new that casts a captivating charm over its visitors. The city is famously known for its unique convergence of architectural splendor, with it being home to age-old historical monuments like Lalbagh Fort, Dhakeshwari Temple, and Ahsan Manzil. Other highlights include its rich textile industry with outstanding handicrafts and traditional "Jamdani" sarees markets, delicious Bengali cuisine, dynamic local ferry rides under the glowing sunset, and the lively ambiance of the annual Dhaka Art Summit.

Bangladesh, nestled lovingly in South Asia's lush verdancy, is a hidden gem that's explored by those travelers desiring an unforgettable off-the-beaten-path experience. Huddled to the east of India on the Bay of Bengal, this beautiful country boasts a rich tapestry of landscapes and cultures. Bangladesh is known for its lush greenery, serpentine rivers, effervescent cities, and historic sites. From the chaotic yet charming streets of its capital, Dhaka, to the sprawling tea gardens of Sylhet, the dizzying heights of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, and the Royal Bengal Tiger's residence in the mystical wilderness of Sundarbans, Bangladesh offers a unique harmony of nature and tradition worth any wanderlust's dream.
