Dhaka Transportation Tips by BorderHopper

You can get to Bangladesh by...

You can get to Bangladesh by air or by land. If you are trying to make an overland crossing it can only be done from two legal land border crossing areas with India. Myanmar does not have an overland border crossing area open to foreigners. The easiest way to get to Bangladesh is by air. From Bangkok you can arrange a ticket on Binman Airlines one way to Dhaka for $105 usd...or you can fly from Calcutta, India for apx. $75 usd.
Once inside Bangladesh there are long distant bus services. Another option is to take the train but overcrowding can be a big problem. The best way to get around while in the city is by a baby taxi or a rickshaw. Baby taxi's can get you around the entire city of Dhaka if you don't mind breathing in the thick, choking, polluted air. Typical fare for a baby taxi from ZIA International Airport to the city center is between 60 to 100 TK (a little over $1).
