Culture & Travel Tips
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Bangladesh is from October to March during the cool, dry season. This is ideal for exploring cities and the Sundarbans. April-May is hot. The monsoon (June-September) brings flooding but also lush green landscapes. Cox's Bazar beach is pleasant year-round.
Cultural Notes
Bangladesh has a rich Bengali culture shared with West Bengal in India. Poetry, literature (Rabindranath Tagore), and music are highly valued. The country is predominantly Muslim but with Hindu and Buddhist minorities. Traditional crafts include jamdani muslin and nakshi kantha embroidery. Cricket and football are popular.
Insider Tips
Bengali is the official language; English is widely understood in cities. The Taka is the currency. Bangladesh is densely populated and chaotic, which can be overwhelming. The people are genuinely hospitable. Dress modestly. Rickshaw rides are part of the experience. The Sundarbans require tour arrangements.
