Information - BANGLADESH
don't miss this wonderfull country with wonderfull people
road:
- Burunghamari- Domar- Rangpur- Bogra- Shahzadpur- Rajbari-
ferry over the Gange- Faridpur- Jessore- Benapole (border with
india)- kolkata
- the only negative poitn of the country = the traffic! there are
not many private cars but the roads are narrow and packed with
rickshaws, and in the middle of this trucks driving as fast as
possible (when a truck horn it's doesn't mean like it india "take
care i'm there" it
mean "if you don't moove your ass as fast as i want you to do it,
you will die" keep it in mind!) Worse traffic than india not from
the quantity but for the quality!!!!
visa:
- got mine in Kathmandu, 33$ for 15 days, 2 photos, pick up next
day, see KTH for more details
money:
- 1 euro =
92 BDT taka
- changer at the border: 1 indian roupies =1.6 taka, extremely
cheap country, i spent 40 taka in 10 days including the 30 takas
for the departure taxes. the 10 other takas are for the ferry over
the gange. appart of this i've always been invited for food as
well as for accomodotion = it's amazing country with incredibly
friendly people
bike shop:
- exept local bike shop for rickshaw better to expect nothing!
food & accomodation:
- always been invited by locals, I never stayed in cities
map:
- APA Map "india north east", 1/1.500000 (bought it in KTH) = useless
map, a lonely planet map would do the same job!
