I have had much valuable info from this forum for planning my trip to Bangladesh, so now I'm here it's payback time, starting with some fresh info about Jaflong
There are very frequent buses from Sylhet to Jaflong.It’s a beautiful ride.
The Parjatan ,mentioned as best bet in the Bradt guide looked dire from the outside. Luckily there is a new and excellent hotel option, the Garden Hotel.It’s brand new, spotless, with comfy beds and attached cold water…
Hello,
does anyone know the timetable of Calcutta - Dhaka Maitree express for sure? There is different info on the internet. Does it really go on Tuesdays and Saturdays?
Is there a way to buy tickets in advance? I will be in Calcutta just a day before departure. How full are the trains? Are there usually tickets just a day before departure?
Thanks

I have a friend who is leaving for Dhaka in a few weeks. What would be some cool stuff to bring back? Nothing too extravagant. What would you ask for if you knew someone was going there? Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi Everyone!
I will be in Bangladesh from 15th December to 27th December. I plan to go to Sundarban this time. Which tour operator should I opt for? How am I supposed to book a tour? Do the tour operators accept online payments (credit card)? How reliable are they? Btw, is there anyone here, who will be traveling in Bangladesh in December?
thinking of visiting Bangladesh but know very little about the country, and have not visited before. Could anyone advise how long we would need to experience the Bangladesh way of life and attractions it has to offer? Any assistance would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.
Hi Mahmud and everyone!
I wrote you an E-Mail last week but never got an answer, that's why I try it here now!
I'm arriving in Bangladesh Dec. 26th and will stay there with my boyfriend for 3 weeks.
I read a lot about the VOA and I understand that it's not supposed to be a problem to get it at Dhaka airport. Still I asked at the embassy in Berlin as well as in Geneve and we were told there, that there's not such a thing as a VOA. Why would the embassy deny it, if it exists? No official site tells…
We (two of us) will be in Bangladesh for another month and we're keen to do a 3 day tour of the Sundarbans during that time. The only option that Guide Tours has given us is a 4 day tip in mid-December with a cost of 21,700 Tk plus a daily national park fee of 1700 Tk. This makes the total for the trip 28,500Tk....which seems quite expensive, particularly by Bangladeshi standards.
Can anyone let me know if this price is typical or whether there are better options available. I realize that Guide…
I am right now travelling with an Indian motorbike I bought in Mumbai (MH plates) and was wondering if I could take it into Bangladesh without any major trouble.
I got all the paperwork (contract, insurance, exhaust check, intl drivers license, etc.) And I got a multiple entry visa for India.
So I was planning to head into Dhaka from Calcutta and then leave for the North-Eastern tribal states a couple of days later.
Anyone got any experience?
Cheers.
Just want to be sure ...
I am Czech citizen and plan to get visa to Bangladesh at Kolkata consulate (By the way, do you know the price for Czech citizens?) . My question is, can I arrive with Bangladesh tourist visa by bus and than later departure by airplane from Dhaka without any additional paperwork? I am asking because of information on some websites which inform about some troubles in this case ("change of port" certificate etc).
