“LAND OF BEAUTIFUL SURPRISES”
 

The washed-down sediments of the Himalayas and the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers form the Bengal Basin , the largest estuary delta on earth. Bangladesh occupies the capstone of the arch shaped by the Bay of Bengal into which drain a large number of rivers and their tributaries that crisscross the country and produce a fertile delta. The country is a comparatively narrow land bridge in South East Asia between India and Myanmar .

Surprisingly this small deltaic plain of the Ganges holds three wonders:

(a) the world's longest natural beach at Cox's Bazar (120 km).

(b) the world's largest mangrove forest—Sundarbans (home of Royal Bengal Tiger).

(c) the largest manmade lake— Kaptai Lake .

However, the country does not boast only these three wonders but yet more immense natural beauty and exotic village life: a network of 200 small and large rivers and 800 km of waterways ornamented with a variety of boats decked with sails of multicolored hues; lush green panoramic tea v alleys; historical and archeological sites; and traditional tribal life and culture. In addition, the Bangladeshis are a hospitable people, always welcoming to visitors and eager to help.
