Hello,
I'm flying from Kuala Lumpur to Delhi with Biman Air and will have a few hours transit (connwcting flight, also with Biman)in Dhaka. I would like to take this opportunity to have a Dhaka city tour. My questions are, do I have to apply for visa or only transit visa, and do I need to pay a stopover fees ? How much is it ? Advices welcomed. TQ.
Well...sadly speaking...from yesterday because of unavoiadable reasons, the givernment here has imposed state of emergency. Flood and political uprest! However, at this point i don't think you would be able to go out of the airport. Beasides, just to look around dhaka in only an hour won't give you any clear idea about the country. The country is very diverse and things greatly differ from one city to another. And yes, you need a transit visa.
Hello there,
Thanks for the reply, but I'm not coming now. I will be there in December, hopefully there will be no flood then. The city tour is for about 4 hours. Where would you suggest me to visit ? Thanks.
Hi Anita,
I just read your post from 2007, so it's been a while, but I was curious if you ended up taking a sightseeing tour. I'm planning to do a one-day sightseeing tour at the end of february and tips from all travelers would be very welcome.
Thanks!

The Bangladeshi people I met are VERY genuine and truly are interested in you. I read a tip here on VT that they'd walk into your hotel room and wouldn't leave - just to keep chatting with you. Well, it happened to me and while strange by American standards they have a real interest in who you are and want to share their culture with you. So don't be freaked out when they walk in and wont leave. It means they like you and now I have lifelong friends in Bangladesh!
I was living in Sri Lanka when I went to Dhaka so I jumped straight from one cricket crazy nation to another. Unlike one-time world champions Sri Lanka though, Bangladesh have taken it up quite recently and with rather less success so far!
In 2000 the Bangladesh 'Tigers' became the 11th official Test-playing nation. Since then they've played 20 one-day internationals and 26 Test matches... and haven't won a single one! They did technically manage a draw against the West Indies but only because it got rained off. Sorry guys but more like pussycats than tigers at the moment!
I'd love to be in Dhaka when they do finally win though, as all these losses haven't dampened the local enthusiasm for the sport and it's played by pretty much everyone, pretty much everywhere.
Before the war (i.e. WWII) Maynamati was a hamlet of a few dozen huts, but during the war a large military camp was established there as the war came as close as Myanmar (Burma). Several ordnance depots and a number of military hospitals, both British and Indian, were in the area, including Nos. 14 and 150 British General Hospitals; and the majority of the burials in Maynamati War Cemetery were from the various hospitals. Graves from isolated places in the surrounding country, and some from as far afield as Burma, were moved into the cemetery by the Army Graves Service and later on by the Commission; and it was found necessary to transfer also graves from small cemeteries at Dhaka, Faridpur, Paksey, Saidpur, Santahar and Sirajganj where they could not be maintained. The cemetery was started by the Army and laid out by the garrison engineer. It is dominated by a small flat-topped hill crowned with indigenous flowering and evergreen trees. Between the entrance and this hill lie the Christian graves, and on the far side of it are the Muslim graves. There is a separate section where lies the graves of unidentified soldiers. On a terrace about half-way up the hill, facing the entrance, stands the Cross of Sacrifice, and on the other side a shelter looks over the Muslim graves to a tree-framed view of the countryside beyond. There are now over 700, 1939-45 war casualties commemorated in this cemetery. Everyday profile of a dead solider is kept open in turns from the registry book at the entrance.
In this cemetery lie the bodies of British, African, Indian, Australian and Japanese. the lands in Bangladesh occupied as Commonwealth War Cemeteries were assured in perpetuity to the Imperial War Graves Commission, under the British Commonwealth and Empire, by the Government of Bangladesh.
The cemetery, a kilometre down the road leading from Comilla to Sylhet and nine kilometres from the railway station, is a short distance past the Comilla Cantonment Military Hospital.
Symbol of Bengali nationalism. This monument was built to commemorate the martyrs of the historic Language movement of 1952(only and one language movement in the world's history so far). Hundreds and thousands of people with floral wreaths and bouquet gather on 21 February every year to pay respect in a solemn atmosphere. Celebrations begin at zero hour of midnight.
As recognisation of the language movement UN declear 21 February as International mother language day in 1999, which ovsreve all over the world every year on 21 February.
