Major city · Bangladesh
Faridpurফরিদপুর
Spend 1 day in Faridpur for a quick look at the riverfront, historic mosques and market; add a second day if you want to explore the sugar mill and museums.
Faridpur sits on the Padma River in Dhaka Division. Its historic sites – Mathurapur Deul, Pathrail Mosque and the poet Jasimuddin’s house – are clustered near the centre, while the market area and the active Faridpur Sugar Mill lie a few kilometres south. A day covers the main sights; a second day lets you visit the museum, library and enjoy the riverside park.

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.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
