The world’s largest mangrove forest, rivers instead of roads and almost no tourists.

Bangladesh is a delta more than a country: the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna meet here, and the boat is the natural way to travel. The Sundarbans are the largest mangrove forest on earth and hold the largest tiger population of any single forest, though you are far likelier to see deer, crocodiles and kingfishers. Srimangal is hill country under tea, Paharpur has an eighth-century Buddhist monastery, and Cox’s Bazar claims the longest natural beach in the world.
