Dhaka

Dhaka, formerly known as Dacca, is the capital city of Bangladesh. The Greater Dhaka Area is home to over 20 million people, and as the largest Bengali-speaking city in the world, it’s the perfect gateway into Bangladesh’s culture. In addition to a thriving nightlife and delicious street food, one of the best things to check out is the Ahsan Manzil.

A palace of powerful pink, the Ahsan Manzil draws the eye and is your perfect opportunity to see beautiful and unique architecture on your trip.

Sylhet City

The final destination on our list is Sylhet City. Home to over half a million people and sitting on the banks of the Surma River, Sylhet City is a beautiful middle ground between the busy nature of Dhaka and the quiet rural nature of Sajek. See Sylhet City’s beautiful mosques and temples, blending with the jungles and making Sylhet a balanced location ideal for all.

Sajek

Sometimes when you’re travelling abroad, taking in the nature and wildlife of your destination is more important than delving into the bustling culture of metropolitan hubs. This is where knowing what to see in Sajek is essential.

Sajek is a hub for nature in the Chittagong Division. Not only can you see sprawling jungle out ahead of you in Sajek, but the Lushai Heritage Village offers a great insight into traditional life in Bangladesh. When taking a view of the country’s past, Sajek is the perfect place for you.
