Gazipur Dhaka Division, Bangladesh Travel Guide
Winter (November-February) offers mild weather. Pack light to medium layers. Long-sleeved shirts, light sweaters, and a jacket or Shawl are good for evenings and early mornings. Daytime generally requires lighter clothing. For summer/monsoon (March-October), expect hot, humid, and rainy conditions. Opt for light, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Quick-drying materials are good during monsoon season.
Bangladesh is a conservative Muslim-majority country. Respectful dress is suitable. For women, shoulders and knees should be covered. Loose-fitting attire is preferred over tight clothing. Carrying a Scarf (dupatta) is highly recommended for religious sites or added modesty. For men, slacks or trousers and shirts are suitable for the majority of public settings. Shorts are generally not worn by local men outside of private resort settings or while exercising.
Comfortable, breathable sandals or walking shoes are practical for daily wear, especially when removing them for homes or religious sites.
Waterproof sandals or quick-drying closed-toe shoes are highly recommended for wet streets and puddles.
Closed-toe Walking shoes or light hiking boots provide support and protection for exploring parks or rural areas.
Always carry original and copies (digital and physical) of important documents in separate locations.
Bangladesh uses 220-240 Volts at 50 Hz. Plug types are mainly Type C (a type c plug), Type D (three round pins), Type G (three rectangular pins), and Type K. A Universal travel adapter with multiple plug alternatives is highly recommended. If your devices are not dual-voltage, a Voltage converter may be needed for some appliances. Most modern electronics (laptops, phones) adapt automatically.
Bring your standard camera gear. A Camera bag with good dust and humidity protection is advisable. A zoom lens enhances wildlife viewing at the Safari Park. Retailers like B&H Photo offer a spectrum of camera options. Portable chargers are useful for long days, power failures, or extended journeys.
Utilize cloud services Such As google Drive or dropbox for backing up photos and documents. Consider NordVPN or ExpressVPN for secure connections.
An External hard drive can serve as a physical backup for large media files.
Use strong passwords/biometrics. Be mindful of public Wi-Fi. A VPN is always a good idea for internet security.
A well-stocked personal health kit addresses minor ailments and provides peace of mind. Pack a Basic first-aid kit.
Have enough prescription medications for the entire trip, plus extra. Keep them in original packaging with labels. Carry a doctor's note or copy of prescription. Over-the-counter medications for common issues include cold/flu remedies, motion sickness pills (for long journeys), antacids, and eye drops. Hydrocortisone cream for skin irritations can also be useful.
