Bangladesh
Bangladesh is the country where I am living. I am Toukir Khan Titu (T2) and I have always dreamt of becoming a full-time world traveler. Want to write my name in every part of the Earth. I want the world to feel my presence even though I disappear from the world. I am damn serious about following my dream. So for my dream, my first work is to explore my country fully and I am still exploring my country. While I am chasing my dream another dream grows on me. The dream is to enlighten my country to the entire world in the traveling aspect. So the blog you are reading right now is a small effort of mine to tell the world about my country. Remember my friend, over here I am elaborating on my country from a traveler’s point of view.
About Bangladesh:
Bangladesh is a small country in South Asia. Insane, this is the word that just came out of your mouth. My buddy keep reading the blog, there are many things about my country you will get to know that can impress you. In 1971, my country got the world recognition as a sovereign country. To earn this title, my countrymen paid a high price back then. They fought for nine months against the evil Pakistani Army and in that battle 30 lakh people lost their lives. Just because of them, we the Bengalis live here peacefully. 26 March is our independence day, and 16 December is our victory day. Now the relationship between Pakistan and my country is on good terms.
My country is divided into 8 sections. Each section is called a division. These divisions are Rangpur, Khuln, Chattogram, Mymensingh, Dhaka, Rajshahi, Sylhet, and Barisal.. Each division is made up of many districts. 64 is the total number of districts in my country, each district has its own traits and is famous for something. For example; Cumilla is famous for Rasmalay (a sweet), Rajshahi is famous for Mangoes, Brahmanbaria is famous for Savage people, Bandarban is famous for its natural beauty, Cox’s Bazar is famous for its largest natural beach, Dhaka is famous for mosque also the capital city. And find out for yourself what the rest of the districts are famous for.
Is Bangladesh suitable for traveling?
It is the question of many want to know. I am not answering the above question. First, could you hear me out, then decide your answer?
1. Sea:
133 countries out of 195 countries have sea. Bangladesh got lucky on the part. The Bay of Bengal is the protector of my country’s southern; From Teknaf to Sundarbans.
2. Sea beach:
Of course, if we have the sea, then surely have sea beaches. Even though I don’t need to tell you, but why I did it. Because the largest natural sea beach is located in our country and even some unique sea beaches like Guliakhali Sea Beach, and Kuakata Sea Beach are also located in my country.
3. Island:
The island is one of the best creations of nature. Bangladesh has quite many. Saint Martin is our one and only coral Island and the most beautiful Island, Maheshkhali Island is our hilly island, Sonadia Island is our favorite one, Hatiya Island, Sandwip Island, and many more islands.
4. Forest:
A country should have at least 25 percent forest. Regretfully, Bangladesh has 17 percent. So what, We have Sundarban, the world’s largest Mangrove forest. This mangrove forest is situated between India and Bangladesh. Gratefully we have the large part. Except Sundarban we have The Madhupur Sal forest, Lawachara National Park forest, Shangu-Matamuhuri, and hilly type forest you will find in Bandarban, Rangamathi, and Khagrachari.
5. Mountains:
The tallest mountains are not located in my country. Bangladeshi travelers are not sad about that. We have Bandarban, Khagrachari, and Rangamathi districts. These districts give us 2500 -3500 feet above sea level mountains and we are quite happy to hike these mountains. Our famous hills are Keokradong, Tazing Dong, Dim Pahar, and Jogi Haphong.
6. Waterfalls:
Waterfalls is another name of natural beauty. In that case, Bangladesh is rich, we have numerous waterfalls on our land and the best part is maximum waterfalls are visitable. Our waterfalls have crazy names; Nafakhum waterfall, Amiakhum Waterfall, Hum Hum Waterfall, Jadi Pai Waterfalls, Shuvolong Waterfall, Panthumai Waterfall, Dhuppani Waterfall, Napittachora Waterfall, Khoiyachora Waterfall, Tinap Saitar and more crazy names.
7. Unique waterbodies:
When comes to uniqueness, Raterghul Swamp Forest, Kaptai Lake, Lala Khal, Sapla Bill, Tangour Haor, and Devotakhum define.
8. Rivers:
I have been hearing since my children that our country is a country of rivers. It is true, even my country has more rivers than many big countries. The Padma, the Meghna, the Jamuna, the Brahmaputra, the Karnaphuli, the Surma, and there are more but the problem is I don’t know the name of the rest. As a travel freak, I suggest one; the Sangu river.
9. Scenic natural spots:
Scenic spots bring absolute tranquility to a nature-loving person. Am I right? Sajek Valley, Jaflong, the peak of Keokradong, Tamabil village, Raikkhiyang Lake, Mohamaya Lake, Sondia Island, Maheshkhali Island, Saint Martin Island, Guliakhali Sea Beach, Banshbaria Sea Beach, Kuakata sea beach, Kaptai Lake, need I write more spots to attract you.
10. Trekking/hiking trails:
In traveling, trekking/hiking through nature is the most favorite activity. It is adventurous, thrilling, tranquility of nature and natural views, and always gives a new experience. Our Amiakhum trails, Melakhum trails, Kala Pahar trails, Tajindong trails, Khoiyachora trails, Napitochora trails, Poitang Taung, and Merai Thong trails definitely not disappoint you. First, win over these trails, and then I will give you more trail names.

Be frankly, Bangladesh isn’t enriched in that case. As far as I know, the Alutila Cave of Khagrachari is our only mysterious cave.
12. Gardens:
