When compared to some other Asian countries, Bangladesh may not seem to have that many travel or tour attractions. However, what really is the attraction here are not artifacts and ruins – it is the country and its people. During much of the year the countryside is beautifully green. Quaint little villages give you a taste of peaceful village life, while riverside towns will show you how people were meant to live life. Here the nearest city is a boat journey away.

Though people and pollution both are big issues in Bangladesh, but as soon as you go out of the cities you won't feel the heavy air or crowd as much. People are smiling and friendly and the pace of life is slower and more enjoyable. But that does not mean there is nothing to do! Everywhere people busy themselves with their daily work while children run the streets playing. The Bangladeshi people are genuinely friendly and their warm smiles are truly inviting.
