Overview :
Bangladesh Photos
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.
