11 Days Solo in Bangladesh | Ultimate Female Travel Guide! 🌍✈️

📍 Visa: Do You Really Need an Invitation Letter? Many posts claim Bangladesh’s Visa on Arrival requires an invitation letter (some even charge for "help") – but I tested it myself: NOT TRUE! What I prepared: ✅ Return flight ticket ✅ Hotel booking ✅ $51 visa fee Smooth entry – no invitation letter, no bribes! Don’t get scammed! 🚗 Transport: Is Dhaka Traffic Really "Hell Mode"? Chaotic? Yes. Loud? Absolutely. Traffic lights? Mythical. But Uber saves the day! 🚩 Uber: Best option! Cars, tuk-tuks, bikes – fixed prices, no surge during jams! 🚩 Rickshaws: Cheap but hard to communicate (no English + overcharging). Skip! 🚩 Long-distance buses: GreenLine is awesome! 🚌 (Book at greenlinebd.com) Took it to Cox’s Bazar – privacy curtains on sleeper buses = safe for solo females! 🏨 Accommodation: How to Save? Dhaka hotels are pricier than Thailand but lower quality. I Couchsurfed – saved money AND lived like a local! Cox’s Bazar tip: Don’t book online! Walk-in bargaining works: Agoda: ¥269 → Paid ¥180 after haggling (Saved ¥89!) 🍴 Food: What to Eat? Hand-eaten rice meals (~¥10) – tasty but hygiene is sketchy. Pick clean spots! 🚮 Sanitation: Trash Everywhere? Sadly, yes. Most areas are dirty/smelly – wealth gap is glaring. Brace yourself! 🛍 Shopping: Watch for Hidden Costs! Upscale malls exist, but clothes have +10% tax (e.g., 2,000 BDT item → 2,200 BDT). Always confirm final price! 👩 Safety: Okay for Solo Females? 11 days in Dhaka/Cox’s Bazar = zero issues! Generally safe, but stay alert at night. 🌟 Final Verdict: Bangladesh is challenging but totally doable solo – even for women! Hacks exist for visas, transport, and lodging. 👇 Questions?
