TRIP FILE DATA
The world’s largest river delta, the Sundarbans mangroves where tigers still swim, and a beach at Cox’s Bazar that runs for over a hundred kilometres. Dhaka is loud, cheap and nothing like the brochure.

Travel notes for Bangladesh
BD / FIELD NOTESData the moment you land
No counter to find, no passport to show to buy a SIM: an Ozu eSIM is on your phone before you take off. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. And because it runs on local networks, the bill at home never learns you travelled.
Timing your trip
Bangladesh sits in the northern hemisphere, so the warmest, longest days fall roughly between June and August, while winters run colder. Spring and autumn usually trade the crowds for milder weather and better prices.
Paying your way
Read your card’s small print before you go: many charge a fee on every purchase in another currency, and it piles up where you don’t see it. Carry a second card in a different pocket too: the day the first one gets blocked, you’ll want a plan B.
Documents & cover
Entry rules depend on your passport, so confirm whether you need a visa or travel authorisation before you book, and check your passport has enough validity left. Travel insurance is worth arranging either way: medical care abroad can get expensive fast.
Getting understood
The translator’s camera is the tool people use most and mention least: point it at a menu, a sign or a ticket and read it. It works better with data, which is where an eSIM earns its keep far more than it does in your photos.
