Major city · Bangladesh
Sirajganj District
Visit Sirajganj for a day (or a short 1‑2‑day stay) to see Bangabandhu Bridge and Tagore's Kacharibari; longer stays add little extra.
Sirajganj is a modest stop in Rajshahi Division, best known for the 5 km Bangabandhu (Jamuna) Bridge and Tagore's Kacharibari museum. Transport is easy via road, bus or train; attractions are clustered near the river, making a half‑day to full‑day visit realistic.

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
