Brief

  • Try Dhaka specialties such as kacchi biryani, hilsa fish, fuchka and jhalmuri. Choose vendors with high turnover and food served freshly cooked.
  • Allow substantial extra time for journeys. Traffic congestion is frequent, and rickshaws, CNG auto-rickshaws, buses and ride-hailing services share heavily crowded roads.
  • Keep valuables secure in crowded markets, transport hubs and busy streets, and use registered taxis or reputable ride-hailing services where possible.

Safety and health

  • Bangladesh is included in the CDC’s current global dengue notice. Use repellent, wear long sleeves where practical, and choose accommodation with screens or air conditioning. (cdc.gov)

  • Avoid floodwater, muddy soil and untreated surface water, especially after heavy rain, because of melioidosis risk. Cover cuts and burns. Bottled or properly treated water is recommended, and street food should be freshly cooked and piping hot. (cdc.gov | wikivoyage.org)
  • Yellow fever vaccination is not generally recommended for Bangladesh, but an official vaccination certificate is required for travelers aged one year or older arriving from countries with yellow-fever transmission risk, including qualifying long airport transits. (cdc.gov)
