Best time to travel to Bangladesh

Bangladesh belongs to a tropical monsoon climate and has a hot image all year round, but it is divided into a rainy season (April to September) and a dry season (October to March). The easiest time to spend is in the dry season from October to March, and from June to September is the monsoon season, when there is a lot of rain and humidity. During the dry season, you may feel cold, especially in the morning and evening.

Clothes

Although most of the year is warm, you can spend summer clothes, but there are places where the air conditioning is too effective, so it would be nice to have one long-sleeved one that you can wear. Bangladesh is a conservative country with many Muslims, so women should refrain from wearing mini-skirts or skin-exposed clothing.

vaccination

Basically there is no need for vaccination.

health

A dish that uses a large amount of oil or a dish that uses spices may cause stomach upset. Try to avoid hypnosis and hunger, and keep your hands hygienic, such as washing your hands before eating. The air conditioner may cool down your body and cause a cold, so be careful when adjusting the air conditioner when staying. Also, because the sun is very strong, avoid walking in the hot sun for a long time, replenish water more frequently, and be careful about heat stroke.
