In South Asia sits Bangladesh, a land of fertile green horizons, crisscrossed by the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers. This country is home to the world's largest mangrove forest, known as the Sundarbans, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site critical for protecting Bangladesh's biodiversity and mitigating the effects of cyclones.

Bangladesh has influences from Mughal, British and South Asian cultures - while you're visiting, you'll see evidence of this in its architecture and food, but you can learn more by visiting historical sites like the Mughal-era City of Mosque Mahasthangarh or the ancient Sonargaon. Did you know that Bangladesh also has the world's longest natural sea beach? You'll find this in Cox's Bazar. The perfect place for a weekend retreat.

Flying into Bangladesh is a breeze with Alternative Airlines. We ticket 600+ global airlines on our platform, with many major carriers serving connections to Dhaka, the capital city.

Book your flights today to popular destinations in Bangladesh, including Dhaka, Cox's Bazar and Sylhet, among others.

Dhaka is the capital and heart of Bangladesh, sitting right in the centre of the country and bordering the Buriganga River. Most of Dhaka's energy can be found in Old Dhaka, a maze of narrow streets that are crammed with authentic shops and vendors. Time slows down here as you'll also see Star Mosque, which was built in the late 18th century, and Lalbagh Fort, which houses a mosque and tomb originating from the Mughal era.

One popular neighbourhood in Dhaka is Dhanmondi - it's got a wide range of restaurants that serve everything from local Bangladeshi bites to international cuisine. If you want to comfortably experience Dhaka and avoid the heat, we recommend visiting from November to February. These are the cooler months of the year for this region and are ideal if you're planning to do a lot of sightseeing.

On the other hand, you could visit in the summer months for more warmth, but be prepared for the occasional rain shower as the monsoon season runs from June to September. Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport is the primary gateway into Dhaka, as well as other cities in Bangladesh, with many airlines connecting it to other major Asian and international hubs.

Best fare finder

Still bargain hunting? Well, here's a little secret. We've cooked up a secret weapon. Our best fare-finder tool allows you to easily and quickly compare all of the flight prices on the week surrounding your original search and find the most affordable flight.

• Be Patient: Things might not always run on time, and situations can be chaotic, especially in cities. Develop a relaxed mindset and be prepared for potential delays or unexpected detours.
• Dress Modestly: To show respect for local customs, especially outside of major hotels, it's advisable for both men and women to dress modestly. For women, this typically means covering shoulders and knees; loose-fitting clothing is also more comfortable in the climate.
• Be Open to Interaction: Bangladeshis are renowned for their hospitality and curiosity towards foreigners. Be prepared for friendly greetings and questions. Engaging with locals can be one of the most rewarding parts of your trip.
• Bargain (Politically): In markets, bargaining is common and expected, but do so with a smile and good humour. Listed prices on souvenirs or food menus might seem high initially, but that is because bargaining is expected.
