Bangladesh in October

Monsoon ends; Durga Puja; cyclone risk on the coast late in the month.

• Central delta · Dhaka, Mymensingh, Rajshahifine

  Winter is dry and pleasant but Dhaka's air is among the world's worst December–February; April–May pre-monsoon storms (kalbaishakhi) bring hail and wind.

• North-east hills · Sylhet, Srimangalfine

  One of the wettest regions in Asia; flash floods from April; tea gardens green after the rains.

• South-east coast and hills · Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Bandarban, Rangamatifine

  Cyclone seasons April–May and October–November; the hills need permits.

• South-west delta · Khulna, Sundarbans, Bagerhat, Kuakatafine

  Sundarbans trips run October–March; the forest closes to visitors in the breeding season (June–August, check).
