Wild Tigers
One of the most popular inhabitants of Bangladesh is the famous Bengal tiger of Sundarbans National Park. This rare and elusive animal has seen its numbers declining, but this is still the largest population of tigers on the planet.
Mighty Mangroves
The largest mangrove forest in the world is also one of the most biodiverse, serving as a home to hundreds of species – large and small – including tigers, crocodiles, dolphins and turtles. The density of the forest makes it almost impenetrable, which has protected it from development and deforestation.
World Heritage
The country hosts several UNESCO World Heritage listed sites, including the ruins of the Buddhist Vihara at Paharpur and the historic mosques and mausoleums of Bagerhat, dating all the way back to the 15th century.

Alentejo
While to the north the pace is set by the green of the flatlands as far as the eye can see, further south the landscape combines with the sun, the heat, and a slower pace of life. The Alentejo, the idyllic heartland of Portugal, impresses with variety: deserted surf beaches and charming fishing villages on the western coastline and picturesque walled towns and forts on the boarder to Spain. An ideal place for those that wish to escape the tourist crowds and dive into the authentic Portugal.
