If you look at Bangladesh from space, you can see the area, which is completely intertwined with thousands of rivers and rivulets, backwaters and other waterways. This is not surprising since most of this country is 12 meters below sea level.
Country of Bengalis
Bangladesh is one of the countries in South Asia. Its name, translated from Sanskrit, literally means "the country of Bengalis". It is located in the east of the historical region of Bengal, now it is the northeastern part of the Indian subcontinent.
The country occupies a fairly extensive part of the largest river delta in the world, which is formed by the Ganges and Brahmaputra. In the south, the coast of Bangladesh is washed by one of the bays of the Indian Ocean - Bengal. In the southeast, the state is adjacent to Myanmar, and in the north, east and west - with India.
The total area of Bangladesh is approximately 144 thousand square kilometers.
Bangladesh climate
This South Asian country is characterized by a tropical and subequatorial monsoon climate. Bangladesh is conventionally divided into three main seasons. The first falls in October-March and is characterized by relatively cold winters. The second season is characterized by wet and hot summers. It begins in March and lasts until June. The third season runs from June to October. It is characterized by warm rains and monsoons.
This division into seasons is arbitrary, since the air temperature fluctuates very little throughout the year. So, in January, the average temperature is + 18-25 ° C, and in April, which is considered the hottest, - + 23-34 ° C. That is why the significant difference between the seasons in Bangladesh is not the temperature, but the amount of rainfall.
During the year, Bangladesh receives 2000-3000 mm of precipitation. In the northeastern regions, this figure can be up to 5000 mm. This area is considered one of the wettest places in the world.
The rise of the sea by only a meter can lead to the flooding of the lion's share of the land of Bangladesh. The climate in this country is one of the wettest in the world, so floods occur here with enviable regularity.
When is the best time to go to Bangladesh
The best time to visit Bangladesh is between October and February. At this time, the weather is relatively comfortable in temperature and dry in terms of precipitation.
A visit to Bangladesh in April-May will be a real test of strength for a European. During these months, high humidity and very high temperatures make the stay in the country unbearable.
How to get to Bangladesh
There are no direct flights from the Russian capital to Bangladesh. Several Asian and European airlines offer flights to the capital of this country, Dhaka, only with connections in other countries. The most profitable and fastest way is to fly to Bangladesh by flights of airlines from Malaysia, India, Thailand. To get from Moscow to Dhaka, in total, you will have to spend about 10 hours in the sky, not counting the waiting time for departure at the transit airport.
