Introducing Barisal
Barisal (bore-ee-shal) is a major port city and one of the gateways to the world for Bangladesh, yet it’s also utterly isolated from the rest of the country. Appropriately, perhaps, it’s much easier to reach by boat than road. It’s one of the more pleasant cities in the country, with several ponds in the city centre and handsome buildings from the Raj era in quiet backstreets – but it’s the busy river port, constantly humming with life, that is the real star. To arrive here by boat in the early-morning mist is a quintessential exotic Bangladeshi experience.
