Common questions
Is 7 days enough for Bangladesh?
Enough for a strong first taste — the capital plus one or two contrasting regions. Going deep on two areas beats rushing four, because the long legs eat time.
How much does a week cost?
A comfort-style week like this often lands around $750–1,700 per person, excluding flights. Backpackers spend far less. The Sundarbans cruise is the biggest line.
When should I go?
Roughly November to February — cool, dry, and the classic window for the Sundarbans and hills.
