Been here? Help the next cyclist. [Add information](https://cycleplanet.org/countries/bangladesh/edit/about) ## **People ** The population is very curious and hospitable. They come around you in great numbers. In principle nothing happens and there are only positive experiences with it. Bangladesh is an Islamic country, so pay attention to what attracts you. Women should keep legs and upper arms covered. Ankles is seen as a very seductive object. A little English is spoken.

Been here? Help the next cyclist. [Add information](https://cycleplanet.org/countries/bangladesh/edit/visa) ## **Sleeping ** ### **(Formal) camping** There are no official campsites. ### **Ho(s)tels** Big cities have hotels, which are often dirty or rather very simple. In Dhaka you can arrange overnight stays throughout the country in so-called resthouses. ### **Wild camping** Possible, but expect many people around your tent in some cases.

Marco: We have never been afraid of being robbed. The country feels very safe, but that is of course always subjective. ### **Traffic** Bangladesh can be dangerous on the bike if you only use the main roads. The small roads are much safer.

Mineral water is readily available.

In addition, there are many smaller bicycle repair shops along most roads. Take everything that looks somewhat "Western" with you and learn to repair your bicycle yourself. There are more bicycle repairers in this country than good water sources.
