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 the 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 valleys; 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.
Welcome
