What is the best way to travel around Bangladesh?

After your plane lands in Bangladesh, you have a few options for traveling around the country. You can find cheap flights from Dhaka to either Cox’s Bāzār or Chittagong on short nonstop flights that take 1h or less. Air travel is the fastest and easiest way to get from Dhaka to one of the other popular cities in Bangladesh. If you’d like to travel to Chittagong from Dhaka, daily train service is also available.
