An authoritative gateway to the lesser-explored regions of Bangladesh, this guidebook offers greater coverage than any other to the Chittagong Hill Tracts, where 13 different ethnic groups live amid breezy hillside scenery, and to the world’s largest mangrove forest at the Sunderbans (where Bengal tigers occasionally chew on a human or two). With a focus on responsible tourism, it leads trailblazing travelers to those aspects of the country that are almost unknown to visitors—dolphin and whale watching, winter birding in the northern wetlands, and golden Bengal’s silk and archaeological highlights. The book is backed up by a sister website—www.joybangla.info—featuring podcasts, photography, travel features and updates.
