Bangladesh Travel Blog
Travel guides, itineraries, abandoned places, street art and off-the-beaten-path places in BangladeshHello and welcome to our Bangladesh travel blog. You will find all our Bangladesh blog posts in this section of our website.
Maybe you found our Bangladesh travel blog because you are considering a visit to the subcontinent, or perhaps you are partway through planning a trip to Bangladesh. Whatever the reason, we hope we can provide some useful resources and travel tips for Bangladesh. Highly under-rated Bangladesh took us by surprise and we’re hoping to return to this little-visited destination one day.
Our Bangladesh blog posts are generally aimed at independent travellers and backpackers like us and have a strong focus on travelling around using public transport, staying in budget accommodation and exploring off-the-beaten-path and lesser-visited places.
