The natural beauty of Cox’s Bazar is mind-blowing. I have been

The inani sea beach is the main attraction in Cox’s Bazar.
There is a really good opportunity for the marine drive. The road

Royal Bengal Tiger in Sundarban |
Sundarban is the biggest mangrove forest in the world. I
hope you know about the Royal Bengal Tiger, they are found in Sundarban only.
It’s one of the rare breeds of the tiger in the world. They look really attractive.
A big number of tourists visit Sundarban every year.
The whole jungle is like swap forest and every place are
connecting with each other with small rivers.
People enjoy the beauty of Sundarban from a boat.
There are several types of animals you can see, especially
deer, crocodile, various types of birds, tortoise, python and many more.
It’s really easy to visit Sundarban from the capital Dhaka. There
are lots of buses available from Dhaka to Khulna.
Sylhet is called as queen of Bangladesh. This small but
beautiful division was built with four districts named Habiganj, Sunamganj,
Moulovibazar, and Sylhet. All these four districts are famous and beautiful for
several reasons.
The main reason is the tea estates.
Except for Sunamganj, the other three districts have a large number
of tea gardens.
It’s very easy to visit Sylhet from Dhaka.
There are really high-quality buses and trains available.
But I prefer direct flight, it takes only 35 minutes to fly.
So if you want to visit Sylhet, take flight from Dhaka
international airport.

Amazing Beauty of Saint Martin |
Saint Martin is the most beautiful island in Bangladesh
without any doubt. It’s really an adventurous journey to go there.
It has a population of 4000 peoples. People know this
place as ‘Narikel Jinjira’, in the local language.
“Daruchini Dwip” is another interesting name of this island.
There are lots of tour plans for Saint Martin; you can find
a good tour package from Dhaka, Chittagong or Cox’s Bazar.
This place was under Burma before the British emperor on India. Then
India captured it and now it has been a part of Bangladesh.
Dhaka is the capital city of Bangladesh. This is the oldest
and biggest city in the country. It has so many things to see there in Dhaka.
Especially few amazing forts and mosques.
Most of them were built on Mughal Emperor Time.
I would love to mention Lalbagh Fort, it’s an awesome
monument and architectural building to see.
Chittagong is the second largest city of Bangladesh.
According to my personal perspective, I think it’s the most exciting city in
Bangladesh, because of huge natural beauty. This city has its own beach
‘Patenga’. Lots of tourists spots that you will love.
That’s not finished, it’s the biggest hilly district in
Bangladesh. A lot of tribal villages in the hill, these are really full of
beauty.
There lots of beautiful resorts and hotels to stay in
Chittagong.
Karnaphuli River is one of the top attractions for river
cruise in Bangladesh.
Bengali word Haor means a wetland ecosystem. Sunamganj is
very popular for a few amazing Haors. There is a certain season to visit Haors. I
think spending a night in Haor in a boat with few friends is the best feeling
ever.
In the meantime, you can explore the beautiful nature. Tanguar
Haor is one of the biggest Haor in Bangladesh. If you ever been here, you just
need to take the experience of Haor life. It’s really exciting and passionate.

Jaflong |
Bichnakandi and Jaflong have similarities a lot. But I think
Bichnakandi is more impressive to see. There are a few reasons behind it.
Bichnakandi has a less amount of tourist that makes that place more clean and
natural. The people are making Jaflong as like dust with picking a stone from the
river.
It’s pretty hard to go Bichnakandi because you have to walk
awhile and then need a 45-minute boat ride.
But Jaflong is really easy to go, direct bus and other
vehicles go there.
