Around the world, Bangladesh is with strips of identity, which is one of the poorest countries stratified earth. George Harrison makes a song of sympathy "Bangladesh" to this country from such trouble, where "people are dying fast." The world can not refrain in this South Asian country in this way if a good news story so hard to get. Half the population of Bangladesh lives on less than one Dollar a day. In the midst of politically motivated violence and kidnappings, the exercise of the normal fabric of life is proving to be tricky and difficult, to say the least.
GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE
The People's Republic of Bangladesh has an area 143 998 km2, which is centrally at the geographical coordinates 24 00 N, 90 00 E. In one of the most densely populated places on earth, it is hard to imagine there is more room for nature. Then you have witnessed a special relationship between the two. The "poor" country, they say, has a terrain, mostly flat alluvial plans with some hilly trails in the Lower East and supplemented with a tropical climate, has a rich farmland that outlines 55.39% of the country. The highest point in the country is the Keokradong, with a height of only 1230 m, and thus the lowest, Indian Ocean, 0 m above sea level. The climate is tropical, summer months from March to June both very hot and humid, the monsoons from June to October are wet, but warm and humid during the winter from October to March are only mild. So generally, the conditions for life on the ground are, if you have enough Money. But like most people do not, the Bengals are forced to thrive on land stricken by either hurricanes or drought, that no one owns. Drinking water is also far from here abundant with naturally occurring arsenic poisoning rivers.
People and Culture

FOOD & ATTRACTION
The people you meet in these parts are just cherries on a sundae lush goal, which is usually unknown and yet to be hyped about in guide pounds. Outside the capital Dhaka, within the flat landscape are fantastic national parks, which resonate with the call to the Royal Bengal Tiger, the mysterious hill tracts and hidden treasures the Buddhist kingdom in Rangamati, the revered Shait Gumbad Masjid in Bagerhat, the rich green of the tea gardens of Sylhet, and the living coral of Saint Martin's Iceland. The longest coast ever Cox's Bazar is also a healthy goal, however, south of Chittagong, the site of the recent political unrest and tourist kidnappings, has to proceed with caution.
