Amazing... There are so many nice places on the earth. They are scattered across the country. Every place has its own distinct features. Some places have scenic beauty in abundance while many are famous for their architectural wonders. In addition every person has different tastes, choices and likings.

One can find the history of Bangladesh here, starting from before Bangladesh was born, liberation war even the cultural progression of the country. The place is well decorated and well maintained. You will have a nice time and when you leave you'll have a vast knowledge of Bangladesh's history.
