The People's Republic of Bangladesh has one of the most amazing indicators of the ratio of area to the number of inhabitants on the planet: with only 92nd place in the world in terms of territory occupied, the country is in eighth in terms of population. Such a population density, of course, does not contribute to its prosperity, and therefore Bangladesh is also one of the poorest countries. Tourists come here mainly as part of large tours to neighboring India or Myanmar, and therefore the resorts of Bangladesh are still on the margins of the world ratings of popular vacation spots.
Record holder in all respects
In fairness, it should be noted that there is only one beach resort in Bangladesh, in the accepted sense of the word, but it is worth telling about it in detail. The coastal region of the country near the border with Myanmar is called Cox's Bazar and its main attraction is Inani Beach, south of the city. Uniquely colored golden sand covers the tide line, which is up to a hundred meters wide. But the length of the beach is … 120 kilometers, and Inani Beach is one of the world record holders, no doubt about it.
Features of national bathing
Taking into account the peculiarities of local religions, swimming in European suits in the resort of Bangladesh is officially prohibited and can not only be censured, but also serve as a reason for punishment in the form of a monetary fine. However, on a huge 120-kilometer territory you can always find a section of the beach where an ordinary swimsuit and even a frank "bikini" will not cause any complaints. Simply, there will be no one to express them. Those who do not want to risk their wallet have to swim in harem pants and blouses with sleeves that cover the elbow. Men, according to established oriental traditions, have nothing to worry about, because their bathing suits are not of interest to law enforcement officers.
In the capital rickshaw
As a beach resort in Bangladesh, Dhaka is not very suitable, although comfortable colonial-style hotels with luxurious pools are available here. In Dhaka, it is customary to see the sights of the 17th-18th centuries - defensive forts, ancient mosques and ancient Hindu temples. For fans of flora, an excursion to the local botanical garden, which has collected several thousand species of equatorial and tropical vegetation, will be interesting. The main public transport on vacation in Dhaka is rickshaws, of which there are up to half a million.
