About Bangladesh

Bangladesh occupies the vast, fertile delta where the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers fan into the Bay of Bengal, making it one of South Asia's greenest and most river-laced lands. Dhaka, its energetic capital, is famed for cycle rickshaws, muslin-weaving heritage, and Mughal-era forts. To the southwest sprawls the Sundarbans mangrove forest, prowled by Bengal tigers, while a shared language and culture bind the country born from Bengal.

  • Bangladesh occupies much of the world's largest river delta, built by the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers.
  • The red disc on Bangladesh's flag is set slightly off-center toward the hoist so it appears centered when the flag flies.
  • Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh is often cited as the world's longest natural sea beach, running unbroken for about 120 kilometers.
