Famous tourist place in Bangladesh

Dhaka: Capital city of Bangladesh

Curzon Hall, Dhaka University.

Dhaka (Dacca) is the capital and largest city of Bangladesh. It is the cultural and economic hub of the country. Having a colossal historical background, the old part of the city, known as Old Dhaka or Old Town, is home to a broad range of architectural heritage starting from the vestiges of the Mughal Empire to the British Colonial buildings. Being the centre of the independence movements of Bangladesh, Dhaka also hosts some significant national monuments and structures. There are a number of annual cultural events held in Dhaka like Pohela Falgun, Pohela Baishakh and Ekushe Book Fair which add a unique flavour to the city.

Cox's Bazar Beach, located at Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, praised as the longest natural sea beach in the world running 150 kilometers (93 mi). However it is second longest after Ninety Mile Beach in Australia. It is the top tourist destination of Bangladesh.

St. Martin's Island: The only coral Island in Bangladesh

St. Martin Island

South along the coast from Cox's Bazar, St Martin's Island is Bangladesh's only coral Island, and for once the beaches actually match the hype. The Island is fairly small – about 8km in length and rarely more than 1km wide – so it’s easy to navigate. Rickshaws are available, but you can also just walk around it from beach to beach. The population lives primarily off fishing, but increasingly from the domestic tourism industry. As unregulated tourism booms, St Martin's is becoming an increasingly stressed environment.

The area around the jetty, on the northeast tip of the Island, is called Narikeldia, where you'll find a few hotels and restaurants. From here you’ll pass through the small village of Uttarpara en route to West Beach, which is the nicest place to stay. The southern part of the Island is called Dakshinpara. Even further south is Cherradhip, a thin strip of untouched land which is cut off from the rest of the Island at high tide.

Sundarbans Mangrove Forest

The Royal Bengal Tiger, Sundarbans.

The Sundarbans is a mangrove area in the delta formed by the confluence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna Rivers in the Bay of Bengal. It spans from the Hooghly River in India's state of West Bengal to the Baleswar River in Bangladesh. It comprises closed and open mangrove forests, agriculturally used land, mudflats and barren land, and is intersected by multiple tidal streams and channels. Four protected areas in the Sundarbans are enlisted as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, viz. Sundarbans National Park, Sundarbans West, Sundarbans South and Sundarbans East Wildlife Sanctuaries. Despite these protections, the Indian Sundarbans were considered endangered in a 2020 assessment under the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems framework.

The Sundarbans mangrove forest covers an area of about 10,000 km² (3,900 sq mi), of which forests in Bangladesh's Khulna Division extend over 6,017 km² (2,323 sq mi) and in West Bengal, they extend over 4,260 km² (1,640 sq mi) across the South 24 Parganas and North 24 Parganas districts. The most abundant tree species are sundri  and gewa. The forests provide habitat to 453 faunal wildlife, including 290 bird, 120 fish, 42 mammal, 35 reptile and eight amphibian species.
