Brahmanbariaব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া
Spend half a day in Brahmanbaria to see the main historic sites; one night if you want a relaxed pace.
Brahmanbaria is a small city on the Titas River with several historic attractions like Faruki Park, Kal Bhairab Temple and Arifil Mosque. It is reachable by road from Dhaka and can be explored in a few hours, but a night stay lets you enjoy the riverfront and local market.

Rules in force · 6
- South Asia ↗Trekking regions, border districts and several Indian states need separate permits on top of the visa; check the permit before you book transport into them.
- South Asia ↗Remove shoes (and in many Jain and Hindu temples, leather) before entering; cover shoulders and legs; ask before photographing people or rituals.
- Bangladesh ↗Apply for a visa only on the official government e-visa portal or at an embassy; lookalike sites charge extra, and the rules differ by nationality.
- Bangladesh ↗Dress modestly in cities and near mosques: cover shoulders and knees, and women carry a scarf for mosques and shrines.
- Bangladesh ↗Carry Bangladeshi taka in small notes; rickshaws, markets and small shops are cash-only, and foreign cards are not accepted everywhere.
- Bangladesh ↗Political rallies, strikes (hartal) and blockades can close roads and cut mobile internet with little notice: check the news and your hotel before any transfer day and stay away from demonstrations.
