Bangladesh's second-largest city: deeply Islamic, affordable, chaotic transport. Real halal abundance but safety concerns for solo travelers.
Money-saving tips
Book 3-star hotels in Gulshan or Agrabad for comfort and English-speaking staff; expect air-con and TV but basic rooms
Mix street food with halal restaurant meals (₹300–500 for biryani or curries); Iqbal Kebab House is reliable mid-range
Hire a local driver via WhatsApp or hotel for day trips; costs ~₹800/day and removes transport stress
Best time to visit
Cool, dry weather (15–25°C mornings, 25–30°C afternoons). Ramadan typically falls in this season (dates shift yearly). Best time to visit: comfortable for walking and prayer, but hotels and transport book up. Highest prices.
Pre-monsoon heat (30–35°C) and post-monsoon humidity. Fewer tourists. Ramadan here means extreme fasting conditions. Prices stable. Good for budget travellers avoiding peak season.
Heavy monsoon rains, 28–32°C with 80%+ humidity. Streets flood; transport is unpredictable. Hotels offer discounts. Avoid unless you're heat/humidity-tolerant. Ramadan during monsoon is particularly challenging.
