Vacation in Bangladesh: Enjoying a fusion of beauty

Bangladesh is truly one of the most delightful places to visit for its beaches, national parks, ancient palaces, mosques, temples, churches and wildlife. The country enjoys a moderate tropical climate and as a vacationer, you could go riding on the secluded beaches or enjoy an exhilarating trek among the cloud-reaching mountains at Bandarbans, as well as a wide variety of other options to choose from when making a travel plan. You could stay in either a hotel or motel. If however, you were planning to stay for a longer time with friends or family, it would be ideal and more cost-effective to rent out a guesthouse. Among seven divisions (Dhaka, Rajshahi, Rongpur, Sylhet, Barisal, Chittagong and Khulna) in the country, Chittagong could be a better choice to find unique tourism at one go. Chittagong is a major metropolitan area and port in southeastern Bangladesh. It is situated on the Bay of Bengal, nestled amongst the hills of the Karnaphuli River valley. It is the country's principal seaport, as well as an important industrial and financial centre, often described as the commercial capital of the nation.

Chittagong is filled with dense green forests, endless rolling hills, a moderate climate and breathtaking beaches. Since the 7th century, Chittagong has been mentioned in many documents as a seaport of mystical beauty and magnificent charm. The bustling harbour stands
